Abstract

Waste disposal capacity is limited in archipelago areas. In the case of Simeulue Island, Aceh, waste production will have a negative impact on the environment and nature preservation if it is not balanced with appropriate waste management policies. This study employs a mixed method to examine waste management problems and solutions in the archipelago, with interviewees from the community and local government. According to the study’s findings, regional waste management regulations (qanun) already exist in Simeulue Regency, but in practice, these regional regulations have not been well implemented. One of the reasons for this is that the community has not been involved in the management that has taken place. The conclusion reached is that, in order to overcome the government’s shortcomings and limitations, a participation-based waste management model based on community empowerment is required in order to solve the complexities of waste management in Simeuleue.
