Stakeholders' Perceptions of Environmental Management System in Managing Domestic Waste in the Gasing Industrial Area in Banyuasin Regency

Abstract

The Gasing Industrial Area is one of the largest industrial areas and is experiencing faster development compared to other industrial areas in South Sumatra. The attractions of this area include its area of ​​around 2,000 ha and its strategic location close to the city center. However, this attraction is not matched by environmental conditions in industrial areas, including the frequent generation of inappropriate domestic waste and low awareness of waste management. Complexity can be seen from the many stakeholders involved with various environmental management system perspectives. The aim of this research is to understand the environmental management system carried out by stakeholders regarding the waste management system in the Gasing Industrial Area. The data collection method was carried out using in-depth interviews. The results of the research show that the environmental management system relating to domestic waste (garbage) in industrial areas is that the management system carried out by the community mostly uses a direct waste system, the environmental management system by industrial actors partly uses government regulatory instruments, and the environmental management system by the government by means of environmental guidance and supervision. The environmental management system is not yet effective. This can be seen from the criteria for the effectiveness of the management system, namely organizational structure, work programs, mechanisms, and management practices, and the main indicator is the performance of industrial area governance, which is not yet optimal.
