Collaborative Governance in Urban Waste Management Reform in Semarang City
Keywords:
Collaborative Governance, Urban Waste Management, Community Participation, Environmental Governance, Local GovernmentAbstract
Urban waste management has become a major challenge for local governments due to rapid urbanization, population growth, and increasing consumption patterns that contribute to higher waste generation. Addressing these challenges requires not only effective government policies but also the active involvement of multiple stakeholders in managing waste sustainably. This study aims to analyze the implementation of collaborative governance in urban waste management in Semarang City and to examine how cooperation among government institutions, community organizations, private sector actors, and citizens contributes to improving environmental management. The research adopts a qualitative case study approach to explore collaborative waste management practices implemented by the Semarang City Government. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with government officials, community leaders managing waste banks, and residents participating in waste management programs, supported by document analysis and field observations. The findings indicate that collaborative governance has strengthened community participation in waste reduction initiatives, particularly through community-based waste bank programs that encourage household waste sorting and recycling activities. Collaboration with private recycling companies also supports the sustainability of waste management initiatives by creating economic value from recyclable materials. However, several challenges remain, including uneven levels of community participation, limited recycling infrastructure, and the need for stronger coordination among government agencies. The study highlights the importance of strengthening stakeholder collaboration, expanding environmental education programs, and improving institutional coordination in order to enhance the effectiveness of urban waste management. The experience of Semarang City demonstrates that collaborative governance can serve as an effective strategy for promoting sustainable environmental management and improving public administration practices in urban contexts
