Relationship Between Solid Waste Service Characteristics and Income Level in Metropolitan Bandung Raya

Abstract

Rapid urbanization process has stimulated the emergence of the metropolitan area, including Metropolitan Bandung Raya. The development of the metropolitan region is not equipped by infrastructure. Generally, the level of service of infrastructure varies based on income level. The purpose of this research is to identify the relationship between solid waste service characteristics and household income level. Solid waste service characteristics are measured from waste handling and disposal, waste collection officers, the frequency of waste collection, and fees and payment. The results of the analysis show that there is a relationship between solid waste service and income level: the higher the income, the better the solid waste service. The followings are some significant findings found in this research: (a) solid waste service in housing developed by the developer is better compared to those in self-help housing, and (b) solid waste service in the urban area is better compared to those in peri-urban and rural area.

Development of an Ex-Ante Sustainability Assessment Methodology for Municipal Solid Waste Management Innovations

“…The regulation of the Ministry of Public Work No. 03/PRT/M/2013 requires that the waste collection frequency must be every 1-3 days [63]. The shares of different types of waste at the TPS are different from the ones at source (see Table A1).…”

“…Starting its service since 2006, Sarimukti Landfill is reaching its capacity and is expected to be closed in a few years [40]. Due to this fact and the difficulties in setting up new ones in the short term, it is perceived that waste reduction initiatives must be implemented [63]. Other final disposal means are open burning and dumping.…”

Parameters of income level and season to determine the rate of household solid waste generation

“…Miezah et al, 2015 [1] explained that the sources of solid waste in developing countries mostly come from households (55-80%), followed by commercial areas, markets, roads, industry, and other institutions (10-30%). Household solid waste needs special attention because it is crucial for city growth [2].…”

Dynamic Governance Model Within Integrated Waste Management In Malang City: Agile People And Process In Actions

“…Several cities in Indonesia have also implemented an urban strategy, waste management. According to (Maryati et al, 2016) in Bandung Raya, waste management services, are quite effective in urban housings compared to rural areas. Meanwhile, Jakarta, as the largest waste-producing metropolitan city in Indonesia, implements it through community-based sorting by type with waste banks (Putri et al, 2018), Reduce, Reuse and Recycle (3R) and Waste to Energy (WTE) (Farizal et al, 2018).…”
