Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Encouraging resident participation in the Municipal Solid Waste Management system still becomes a challenge for cities in developing countries. Previous studies showed that existing education strategies ineffective and insufficient to change resident behavior sustainably. Therefore, this study aimed to develop a resident-based learning model to encourage sustainable resident participation in waste management programs at the household level using the Community of Practice approach. METHODS: This study was a conceptual model study using a case study as the research strategy. The case being analyzed was Kawasan Bebas Sampah (Zero Waste Area) program implemented in Bandung City, Indonesia. The primary data was collected through field observation on the 8 Kawasan bebas sampah and in-depth interviews with 63 key informants comprising 31 key actors in the educational programs and 32 informants as resident representatives, conducted from January 2020 – November 2020. Additional data from the quantitative method was gathered in April 2021, focusing on surveying resident’s habits toward waste management as evidence of the program result. The respondents were 490 residents, chosen using the purposive-random sampling method. FINDING: The findings showed that the education strategy implemented in Bandung City, Indonesia presented effective results, based on waste reduction rate reaching up to 0, 47% at the city level from 2019 to 2020. The survey provided evidence that the education program has succeeded in forming new habits for residents. Averagely 60% of respondents in each sample area have the habits and up to > 90% for the areas with more durable education program. Some critical points for education strategy implementations are identified. First, collaboration and supports from key stakeholders such as facilitators, local leaders, and educators become the enabler of the program. Second, key stakeholders need to identify knowledge and value needs before the program started. Third, the learning activities are conditioned to facilitate practice-based and dialogue-based learning through group and non-group learning activities. Fourth, local cadres are vital to sustaining the education program. CONCLUSION: This study has succeeded in giving a new strategic approach to improve resident participation in municipal solid waste management. The resident-based learning model proposed in this study offered a more effective strategy for other cities in developing countries to improve the sustainable participation of residents in their waste management system. However, some adjustments may be required for residents with different characteristics. Future studies may focus on testing and refining the model to improve its applicability.
背景和目标:鼓励居民参与城市固体废物管理系统仍然是发展中国家城市面临的挑战。先前的研究表明,现有的教育策略无效且不足以可持续地改变居民的行为。因此,本研究旨在开发一种基于居民的学习模式,以鼓励居民使用实践社区方法在家庭层面可持续参与废物管理计划。方法:本研究为概念模型研究,以个案研究为研究策略。正在分析的案例是在印度尼西亚万隆市实施的Kawasan Bebas Sampah(零废物区)计划。主要数据是通过对8个Kawasan bebas sampah的实地观察和对63名关键线人的深入采访收集的,其中包括教育项目中的31名关键参与者和作为居民代表的32名线人,时间为2020年1月至2020年11月。2021年4月,该定量方法收集了更多数据,重点调查了居民的废物管理习惯,作为项目结果的证据。受访者为490名居民,采用有目的的随机抽样方法进行选择。调查结果:调查结果显示,印度尼西亚万隆市实施的教育战略取得了有效效果,2019年至2020年,城市垃圾减少率高达0.47%。调查提供的证据表明,教育计划成功地为居民养成了新习惯。在每个样本地区,平均60%的受访者有这种习惯,在有更持久教育计划的地区,这一比例高达90%以上。确定了实施教育战略的一些关键点。首先,促进者、地方领导人和教育工作者等关键利益相关者的合作和支持成为该计划的推动者。其次,关键利益相关者需要在项目开始前确定知识和价值需求。第三,学习活动的条件是通过小组和非小组学习活动促进基于实践和对话的学习。第四,地方干部对维持教育计划至关重要。结论:本研究成功地为提高居民参与城市固体废物管理提供了一种新的战略途径。本研究中提出的基于居民的学习模式为发展中国家的其他城市提供了一个更有效的战略,以提高居民对其废物管理系统的可持续参与。然而,对于具有不同特征的居民,可能需要进行一些调整。未来的研究可能侧重于测试和完善模型,以提高其适用性。
