Abstract

This study focuses on community-based waste management strategies in Deli Serdang Regency with a community self-help approach towards a healthy and waste-free area. The core problem raised in this study is the low level of community participation in waste management which has an impact on increasing the volume of unmanaged waste and has a negative impact on the environment and public health. The purpose of the study is to formulate an effective strategy to increase community awareness and participation in waste management, as well as build collaboration to realize a more efficient and sustainable waste management system. The method used in this study is a qualitative approach through participatory rural appraisal (PRA). Furthermore, data analysis was carried out by identifying key themes that emerged from the interaction, as well as developing a participatory strategy that involved the community in waste management. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of community-based waste management strategies through community self-help can increase community awareness and participation in waste management. It was found that effective counseling and training as well as the formation of community groups that focus on waste management have improved the community's ability to manage and recycle waste. In addition, the implications of this study also emphasize the importance of local government support in facilitating policies and providing the necessary infrastructure. The novelty of this study shows that community-based waste management strategies through independent governance have proven to be an effective alternative in creating healthy and waste-free areas in Deli Serdang Regency. This study is expected to be a reference for other regions in implementing similar programs to overcome waste problems at the community level

Abstract

This study aims to uncover the role and repositioning of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in North Sumatra in the post-New Order era. Specifically, this study aims to uncover how NGOs reposition themselves towards the state/government, the market, and civil society—three major entities widely recognized in Public Administration studies. This is crucial considering that NGOs—as one of the important democratic actors in community empowerment and democratization in Indonesia—are situated within a constantly changing national socio-political landscape, as well as a global context that increasingly emphasizes the importance of multi-stakeholder collaboration. This study—taking into account the issues and areas discussed—focuses on three institutions: KSPPM, BITRA Indonesia, and PESADA. Using a qualitative-descriptive method, this study concludes several things: first, during the Reformation era, NGOs have repositioned themselves, no longer as opposition to the government, but as "critical partners"; second, despite the increasingly open political system, NGOs have not succeeded in building effective political relationships; third, along with the collapse of the New Order as their "common enemy," NGOs tend to experience fragmentation and sectarianism in the Reformation era; Fourth, in the Reformation era, NGOs in North Sumatra began to open up spaces for dialogue, negotiation, and technology, and actively encouraged the communities they supported to enter public spaces and positions; Fifth, NGOs in North Sumatra did not abandon "traditional" issues, but now tended to expand their issues and areas of concern; Sixth, the three institutions (KSPPM, BITRA, and PESADA) demonstrated greater program and financial capacity, although they still depended on funding institutions; Seventh, NGOs in North Sumatra tended to remain skeptical, even closed, in collaborating with private companies; Eighth, in the Reformation era, NGOs in North Sumatra increasingly took a side on gender issues, although in this regard there was—and were influenced by—active encouragement from their donors; which is no less important. The novelty of this research found a number of achievements that have been made by the three institutions, which make them worthy of public appreciation and trust to date.
