Pathways to sustainable peri-urban waste management
Keywords:
community engagement, informal waste collectors, peri-urban dynamics, sustainable waste managementAbstract
Background: This research evaluates sustainable waste management in the peri-urban areas of Denpasar City, which has experienced significant waste problems due to fast urbanization. The study reveals significant issues with household waste segregation, poor infrastructure, and little community involvement using key informant interviews and thematic analysis. However, the study also provides a hopeful vision for better waste management powered by sustainability. Methods: This model combines the piety of segregation of organic, inorganic, and residual waste with measures like composting and much fancy implementation of waste-to-energy systems. Findings: The study highlights the need to enhance policy enforcement and infrastructure investment and integrate informal waste collectors into formal systems. Conclusion: The implications of the preceding findings are considered, policy and practice implications are delineated, and recommendations for future research are proposed, particularly concerning the evaluation of the long-term effects of technological interventions on the utilization of these methods. They offer a pragmatic solution to the challenge of environmental sanitation for other urbanizing regions encountering similar waste management issues, thereby promoting a transition towards sustainability. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study introduces a novel approach by integrating informal waste collectors into formal systems and emphasizing the long-term evaluation of technological interventions in sustainable waste management in peri-urban areas.
