Pancasila as the Foundation for Banyumas Real Action in Implementing the SDGs by Means of Waste Management

Abstract

As a country with a large population, Indonesia faces various environmental issues, particularly those related to waste, the complexity of which continues to increase in line with rapid population growth, intensification of activities, and changes in people's consumption patterns. Although various control efforts have been carried out, their implementation is considered less than optimal, so ideal waste management needs to be integrated with technology tailored to local conditions, potential, and social needs. Banyumas Regency in Central Java, which has become a model for waste management in the Southeast Asian region, continues to face challenges in implementing such management, even though Central Java Province, which has the potential for large waste generation in each of its regencies, has issued Regional Regulation Number 3 of 2014 concerning Waste Management as a derivative of Law Number 18 of 2008 and encourages regulations at the district or city level to lead to more sustainable waste management. This study aims to analyze waste management in Banyumas through a qualitative approach by collecting data from literature reviews and policy documents to obtain an objective picture of the real conditions, challenges, and strategies for waste management in the region, which shows that the implementation of waste management procedures is hampered by the limitations and unsuitability of Final Disposal Sites, suboptimal management system transitions, and low commitment and awareness of the community as a whole so that to realize the vision of "Banyumas Zero Waste" in a concrete and sustainable manner requires strong commitment, increased environmental education, and enforcement of regulations to expand the implementation of environmentally friendly waste management sites.
