EVALUATION OF HOUSEHOLD WASTE MANAGEMENT ‘SAMTAMA’ PROGRAM IN DKI JAKARTA (CASE STUDY: RT 10/RW 03 CEMPAKA PUTIH TIMUR, JAKARTA PUSAT)

Abstract

Waste is one of the big problems often faced by metropolitan cities like DKI Jakarta. The Jakarta Environment Agency's research stated that DKI Jakarta produces 7500-tons of waste per day with 60.5% coming from residential. Therefore, the DKI Jakarta government initiated the Sampah Tanggung Jawab Bersama (SAMTAMA) to mobilize residential people to manage waste from its source at certain locations as a pilot, one of locations is RT 10 / RW 03 Cempaka Putih Timur. RT 10 / RW 03 Cempaka Putih Timur is the RT that is considered optimal in implement the SAMTAMA program. Based on this, the objectives of this study are: (1) to find the existing condition of SAMTAMA program; (2) to measure the waste generation, composition, and reduction potential in the implementation of SAMTAMA program; and (3) to find out whether the knowledge and attitude influence the behavior of implementation SAMTAMA program. The method implemented in measuring using SNI 19-3964-1994 which is carried out for 8 consecutive days. Waste composition is classified based on SNI 19-3964-1995, supplemented with components of B3 waste and diapers. While for the behavior using questionnaire with likert scale and the data will be analyzed using multiple linear regression. The results of the analysis show that the average of waste generation is 14.99 kg/day where the treated waste is 11.36 kg/day and the untreated or residual waste is 3.63 kg/day with the largest composition is food waste with 10.66 kg/day (71%). With SAMTAMA Program implementation, the waste potential reduction can reach 0.019 kg/day/person. From the multiple linear regression analysis, it showed that knowledge and attitudes have influence to behavior of implementation SAMTAMA program.
