Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of waste collection fees, environmental awareness, and household income on community participation in waste management in West Aceh Regency. Effective waste management requires active community involvement as one of the key factors in maintaining environmental cleanliness and sustainability. This research employed a quantitative method with a survey approach. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to 100 respondents selected using purposive sampling techniques. Data analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression with the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). The results indicate that waste collection fees, environmental awareness, and household income simultaneously have a significant effect on community participation in waste management in West Aceh Regency. Partially, environmental awareness has the most dominant influence compared to the other variables. These findings suggest that increasing public environmental awareness, supported by an effective waste fee system and adequate household economic conditions, can enhance community participation in waste management. Therefore, local governments should strengthen environmental education programs and optimize waste fee management to support sustainable waste management practices.
