<![CDATA[This study analyzes the implementation of community empowerment and the role of stakeholders in waste management in Kaduagung Village, Tigaraksa District, Tangerang Regency. A qualitative approach with case studies is used to explore local dynamics. Informants are selected purposively (village officials, RT/RW, waste bank managers, residents, and DLHK/partners). Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation studies, and then analyzed using Miles and Huberman's interactive model. The findings show that community empowerment runs through strengthening local institutions (RT/RW), waste banks, cadres/Environmentally conscious communities (My Darling), mutual cooperation, and 3R education; economic incentives from waste banks trigger household participation and benefits; the village acts as a facilitator and liaison for technical support/fleet; collaboration with DLHK, NGOS/CSR, and Academics/schools to increase capacity; The main obstacles include fluctuations in participation, uneven environmental literacy, limited infrastructure, and top-down policy bias. It was concluded that the synergy of residents, urban villages, communities, and stakeholders forms adaptive and sustainable waste management. It is recommended to strengthen sustainable 3R education, incentive/appreciation schemes based on RT/RW performance, regular cross-party coordination forums, and quantitative monitoring (volume reduction, participation rate).]]>
