Abstract

This study aims to identify the strategies implemented by the Environmental Agency (DLH) of Bengkulu City in managing household waste, as well as to identify the obstacles encountered during its implementation. The research employs a descriptive qualitative method with five informants, consisting of three key informants and two supporting informants, using observation, interview, and documentation techniques. The research indicators refer to Bengkulu Mayor Regulation Number 37 of 2019 concerning strategies for managing household waste and waste similar to household waste. The findings show that in terms of input, policies and human resources are considered sufficiently adequate, although facilities and infrastructure such as waste-transporting vehicles remain limited. In the process aspect, DLH has conducted socialization and coordination related to waste management. In terms of output, operational funds have been well distributed; however, challenges remain due to the limited number of waste collection vehicles. In  the outcomes aspect, the strategy has not been fully effective because public awareness regarding proper waste management and disposal is still low. Overall, DLH’s strategy has been implemented but has not yet been fully effective in addressing household waste problems in Bengkulu City.

Abstract

This study examines how BETVNews.com represents the image of the Bengkulu City Government in its coverage of the street vendor management policy at Pasar Minggu from January to June 2025. The study employs a descriptive qualitative approach within a constructivist paradigm. Eight news articles were selected purposively and analyzed using Robert N. Entman’s framing model, consisting of problem definition, causal interpretation, moral evaluation, and treatment recommendation. The findings reveal two competing frames: public order and legal enforcement as the dominant frame, and traders’ economic survival as the counter-frame. The government is predominantly represented as firm, organized, persuasive, and legitimate in restoring the functions of public space. Nevertheless, a critical image emerges when reports foreground limited relocation capacity, declining income, and conflict during enforcement. The government’s image is therefore ambivalent but asymmetrically positive because official perspectives more frequently structure headlines, leads, causal explanations, and policy solutions. Policy success is also largely measured through visible spatial order, while traders’ post-relocation welfare receives limited evaluation.
