Abstract

This study investigates the implementation of community-based composting technology in low-cost rental apartments (Rusunawa) in Makassar City, Indonesia, as a solution for organic waste management and to enhance environmental awareness. Rusunawa, characterized by its vertical structure and tenant-based system, often faces waste management challenges due to limited space and varying levels of environmental awareness among residents. The study aims to apply composting technology through a community development strategy to address organic waste issues using accessible and affordable methods. A mixed-methods approach was employed, integrating quantitative analysis of compost quality with qualitative assessment of community responses across several stages of outreach: general counseling, floor-by-floor engagement, communal garden cultivation, neighbor-to-neighbor outreach, and media promotion. The results show that household waste from Rusunawa residents can be converted into compost with phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) levels exceeding the Indonesian National Standard (SNI), although nitrogen (N) and carbon (C) levels require improvement. Following the outreach process, more than 50% of residents demonstrated increased environmental awareness and actively participated in composting activities, with media-based and neighbor-to-neighbor outreach proving the most effective. To improve compost quality, extended composting time and nutrient supplementation are recommended. The study advocates for the establishment of community-based organizations to ensure the long-term sustainability and effective management of composting initiatives in Rusunawa.

Abstract

Illegal dumping represents a critical environmental and public health challenge in Indonesia, exacerbated by rapid urbanization, inadequate waste management infrastructure, and socio-cultural attitudes toward waste disposal. This study employs a descriptive literature review methodology to analyze illegal dumping trends over the past decade, synthesizing data from peer-reviewed articles, government reports, and case studies. Findings reveal the proliferation of unauthorized dumpsites, particularly in urban areas, alongside the increasing prevalence of plastic waste as a dominant component. Socio-economic factors such as poverty, limited access to formal waste management systems, and insufficient public awareness are identified as key drivers of this issue. Illegal dumping causes significant environmental degradation, including water contamination and ecosystem disruption, and poses substantial health risks through exposure to hazardous materials and vector-borne diseases. This research underscores the necessity for integrated interventions, highlighting the need for a comprehensive and multi-faceted approach to effectively tackle illegal dumping. Specifically, this entails strengthening regulatory frameworks, enhancing enforcement mechanisms, promoting community engagement, leveraging technological innovations, and making substantial investments in the strategic development of waste management infrastructure.
