Shifting waste policy issues at the local level: a case study in Banyumas

Abstract

Abstract Waste management in Banyumas Regency entered a new history following the shift on waste management from government management, into community management. This is a breakthrough in the Governance Era and stimulates a greater public role in waste management. However, the policy issues regarding waste have widened, and this study aimed to explain it. Qualitative research was carried out by tracing the issue of waste problems in online mass media, observations, and interviews. The data analysis technique was carried out with interactive analysis techniques. The results showed that the issue of waste problems widened into several issues, including the transfer of local government burden to the public, the destruction of city face, bureaucratic egocentrism, and the inability of non-governmental groups.
