Abstract

Background: Solid waste in Depok City turns into an urgent problem due to the increase of solid waste production and the limited capacity of the Final Disposal Facility. Methods: The approach used in this research is quantitative, with combination of quantitative and qualitative method, and multiple linear correlation and regression analysis. Findings: The results represented that the majority of Depok Villagers or 38% of them have high level of participation, 30% with moderate level, 7% with low level, and 25% have no participation at all. Internal and external factors simultaneously have a significant effect on the level of community participation in waste sorting activities in the household level. Partially, the contribution of internal factors including awareness level (5,340/0) and external factors including the role of driving actors (15.1%), direct benefit rate (22.1%), and availability and accessibility of the means (35.2%) had a significant effect the level of community participation in solid waste sorting activities in the household level in Depok Village. The level of participation in solid waste sorting activities in the household level is significantly related to waste reduction in Depok Village. It can be concluded that the level of community participation in Depok Village is considered as high, it is because most of organic wastes have been handled by Waste Processing Unit (43.6%), while the inorganic wastes have been handled by the waste bank (24.2%). Conclusion: The low level of community participation in waste sorting activities in Depok Village at the household level has potentially inhibited sustainable waste management. Then, availability and accessibility of the means as the greatest influencing factor and community participation has contributed to waste reduction in Depok Village by therefore it supports sustainable waste management. Novelty/Originality of this article: Empowers individuals to reduce, reuse, and recycle, fostering environmental responsibility and enhancing local resilience.
