Waste management is an important challenge in achieving sustainable urban development, particularly in rapidly growing urban areas where population growth is accompanied by increasing waste generation. The Bekasi City Government has implemented the Regional Policy and Strategy for Waste Management (Jakstrada) as an instrument to improve waste reduction and handling through policy support, institutional capacity, financing, community participation, infrastructure, and technology. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of Jakstrada implementation in Bekasi City, identify supporting and constraining factors, and determine priority strategies for improving its implementation effectiveness. The study employed a case study approach integrating qualitative analysis, SWOT analysis, and the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). Data were collected through interviews, observations, questionnaires, and document analysis involving government stakeholders, academics, waste management facility managers, community representatives, waste banks, and environmental organizations. The findings indicate that Jakstrada implementation has progressed in a positive direction, but its effectiveness remains suboptimal due to limitations in cross-sectoral coordination, financing, human resource capacity, information and monitoring systems, and community participation in source-based waste reduction. The SWOT analysis positioned the strategic condition in Quadrant I (Strength–Opportunity), indicating the availability of internal strengths and external opportunities to support development-oriented strategies. The AHP results show that Infrastructure and Technology had the highest criterion priority with a weight of 0.3716, while optimizing central and local government policy support was the highest-priority strategic alternative with a weight of 0.2650. These findings indicate that improving the effectiveness of Jakstrada requires an integrated approach combining policy strengthening, infrastructure and technological development, sustainable financing, community participation, and stronger coordination and monitoring mechanisms.
