plastic waste management, coastal communities, community empowerment, environmental sustainabilityAbstract
Background: Plastic waste degrades into microplastics, contaminating marine biota and posing risks to human health and ecosystems. This research focuses on the sustainability challenges of plastic waste in coastal communities, particularly in Cirebon Regency, aiming to develop effective strategies for managing domestic plastic waste to safeguard marine resources and human health. Methods: This research employs a quantitative mixed-methods approach, utilizing questionnaires for data collection from salt farming areas in Cirebon Regency. A SWOT analysis identifies strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats for effective plastic waste management strategies. Findings: The strategy for managing domestic plastic waste involves collaboration among various stakeholders, community empowerment, education, the development of ecotourism, the addition of waste management facilities, and the optimization of citizen participation to maintain cleanliness and reduce environmental impact. Conclusion: The strategy includes educating the community on environmental issues, empowering through waste management initiatives, enhancing mangrove ecotourism, and improving waste collection infrastructure and frequency. Novelty/Originality of this Study: The strategy emphasizes community education, waste empowerment initiatives, ecotourism development, and enhanced waste management infrastructure to promote environmental sustainability.
