Abstract

The Bali islands have problems with high waste production. As an effort to accelerate the handling of this waste, the Tabanan Regency government has involved all sectors including the government at the village level by establishing a waste processing site (TPS) in Selemadeg Village. However, not all people have utilized this TPS optimally. This study intended to further explore this community's perception of the TPS and its impact on health quality. This study used a qualitative design with an exploratory approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 10 related informants, analyzed thematically, and presented in narrative form. This study found that all informants had the perception that waste was a very serious problem and must be managed properly. This waste problem has a negative impact on environmental health, which can directly reduce individuals’ and rural communities’ health quality. The role of the community as the main waste producer is integral to waste management, otherwise known as the 3R (reuse, reduce and recycle). Most of the informants strongly supported the existence of the TPS as a place for waste processing. All informants in this study understood that the waste problem must be handled seriously because poorly managed waste can cause health problems, both in environmental health and individual and community health. This study strongly supports the TPS as a place for waste management, especially with the 3R method. The community has felt the positive benefits of this TPS. The government is suggested to continue to facilitate the management of the TPS to be more optimal.
