Governance of Household Waste Management in Pekanbaru City

Abstract

Empirically, a background of this research is that waste is still a serious problem in Pekanbaru City. This study aims to profoundly examine the Governance of Waste Management in Pekanbaru City. The method used is qualitative research with a descriptive approach. The results of the study show that the involvement of the private sector in waste management in Pekanbaru City has not been maximized since the relevant agencies are slow in delegating the administrative waste management authority in the auction process. Not only that but there are also budget constraints that caused the facilities and infrastructure owned by Pekanbaru City Government inadequate. Moreover, the lack of public awareness about environmental cleanliness leads to the emergence of illegal waste disposal sites (TPS). This study concludes that the responsibility of the relevant agencies for waste management has been running optimally, but there are still obstacles in the process of transporting waste.
