HOUSEHOLD WASTE MANAGEMENT POLICY IMPLEMENTATION THROUGH THE MARKISA WASTE BANK IN TANAH KALIKEDINDING VILLAGE, SURABAYA CITY

Abstract

Abstract Household waste remains a pressing urban problem in Indonesia, and Surabaya, as one of the largest waste generating cities in East Java, faces mounting pressure to manage domestic waste at its source. This study examines the implementation of household waste management policy through the Markisa Waste Bank, a community-based initiative in Tanah Kalikedinding Village, Surabaya, established with reference to Surabaya Mayor Regulation No. 64 of 2018. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were gathered through in-depth interviews, observation, documentation, and literature study, and analyzed using Van Meter and Van Horn's policy implementation model, which examines policy standards and objectives, resources, characteristics of the implementing organization, inter organizational communication, socio economic political conditions, and the disposition of implementers. The findings indicate that implementation has progressed positively but remains suboptimal: waste sorting behavior, customer participation, and organizational commitment are encouraging, yet the program is constrained by limited processing equipment, insufficient storage facilities, inadequate funding, and reliance on unpaid volunteers with limited time availability. Continued support from local government and private stakeholders, combined with structured training and broader community outreach, is recommended to strengthen the program's sustainability.
