The Roles and Challenges of a Community-Based Waste Bank: A Case of Bank Sampah Teratai in South Tangerang, Indonesia
Full text linkWaste generation is an inevitable consequence of human activity and remains a pressing issue, particularly in urban areas. Rapid increases in waste volume, combined with inadequate infrastructure and ineffective disposal systems, have led to serious environmental and public health concerns. Community-based waste management strategies, such as waste banks, offer sustainable alternatives by integrating recycling programs, financial incentives, and citizen engagement. This study explores the roles and challenges of Bank Sampah Teratai (BS Teratai), a community-led waste bank in Pondok Pucung, South Tangerang, Indonesia. Using a qualitative approach, the research highlights BS Teratai’s contributions in raising environmental awareness, promoting economic empowerment through waste-based savings, and strengthening social cohesion. Verbatim quotes from participants illustrate how the initiative transforms waste from a burden into a valuable community asset. However, persistent challenges remain, including inconsistent community participation, limited storage capacity, unstable recyclable market prices, and the absence of proper facilities for hazardous and electronic waste. The COVID-19 pandemic further disrupted community involvement, exposing the vulnerability of grassroots efforts. This study emphasizes that waste banks can function not only as waste reduction tools but also as platforms for empowerment and behavioral change. The BS Teratai case offers valuable insights for replicating sustainable, community-based waste management models in other urban settings
Urban Poverty Alleviation Strategies to Achieve the Sustainable Development Goals
Full text linkThis study explores the strategies implemented by the North Jakarta City Government to address extreme poverty in alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), using Kampung Apung in Muara Baru as a case study. Kampung Apung represents a severe case of structural poverty in urban coastal areas, characterized by limited access to clean water, sanitation, education, and healthcare services. Employing a qualitative method with a descriptive approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with government officials, related agencies, and local residents. The findings reveal that the poverty alleviation strategies consist of four key aspects: organizational strategy, program strategy, resource support strategy, and institutional strategy. Despite some improvements in poverty rates, structural barriers persist, such as unequal access to assistance and misaligned program targeting. The study concludes that a more comprehensive and sustainable approach, along with enhanced inter-agency coordination, is essential for effectively addressing poverty in Kampung Apung and contributing to the achievement of the SDGs.

Dinamika Kolaborasi Dalam Pengembangan Wisata Candi Gedongsongo Kabupaten Semarang
No full textGedongsongo Temple is a multi-actor tourism site (involving Government, MCB, Perhutani, Private Sector, and Community) that requires sustainable development to effectively balance economic priorities with cultural and environmental preservation. This qualitative descriptive study utilizes the Collaborative Governance Regime (CGR) theory (Emerson & Nabatchi, 2015) and the Government of Canada's framework to analyze the collaborative dynamics and their hindering factors. Findings conclude that collaboration is suboptimal, characterized by the persistent pull-and-push of competing interests. Specifically, Principled Engagement faces structural imbalance, Shared Motivation is fragile and pragmatic due to emerging trust issues, and Capacity for Joint Action is constrained by deviance and suboptimal knowledge/resource management. The identified inhibiting factors are rooted in cultural, institutional, and political aspects. The study ultimately concludes that the dynamics remain structurally weak, primarily due to asymmetric power relations and a profound lack of trust, failing to fully optimize the sustainable development goals.
Keywords: Temple; Multi-actor; Tourism;Penelitian ini mengkaji dinamika kolaborasi dan faktor-faktor penghambatnya dalam pengembangan pariwisata di Candi Gedongsongo, Kabupaten Semarang, dengan fokus pada sistem multi-pemangku kepentingan yang melibatkan pemerintah daerah (Dispar), Museum dan Cagar Budaya (MCB), Perhutani, sektor swasta, dan masyarakat. Menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif-deskriptif, penelitian ini menerapkan teori Collaborative Governance Regime (CGR) (Emerson dkk., 2012) dan model faktor penghambat dari Government Canada untuk menganalisis proses tersebut. Hasil penelitian menyimpulkan bahwa dinamika kolaborasi dalam pengembangan pariwisata Candi Gedongsongo belum sepenuhnya optimal dan ditandai oleh tarik-menarik kepentingan antar aktor. Pembentukan prinsip-prinsip tindakan bersama telah terjadi, meskipun menghadapi beberapa tantangan dan ketidakseimbangan. Motivasi bersama cenderung rapuh dan pragmatis akibat munculnya masalah kepercayaan di antara para pemangku kepentingan yang terlibat. Selain itu, kapasitas untuk tindakan bersama dibatasi oleh adanya penyimpangan dan ketidakefisienan dalam pengelolaan pengetahuan dan sumber daya. Hambatan dinamika kolaboratif dalam konteks ini berasal dari tiga aspek, sebagaimana diuraikan oleh Pemerintah Kanada: faktor budaya, institusional, dan politik
