REVIEW OF THE INFLUENCING FACTORS OF INTEGRATED WASTE MANAGEMENT

Abstract

: Solid waste management (SWM) in various cities around the world is still a serious and complex
problem. Currently, SWM causes problems not only in an environmental context but also in social and
economic contexts. Therefore, integrated waste management (IWM) is an option that needs to be explored in
municipal SWM. In this regard, it is necessary to develop models of an IWM system to integrate the formal
system (government) with non-formal systems(informal sector/IS and community-based activity). To integrate
all three groups’ roles in an integrated system, as theoretically there are 59 factors that influence IWM.
However, not all factors are relevant to the implementation in Bandung municipality because every city and
country has different situations and priority problems. For the case in Bandung municipality, based on studies,
there are only 17 factors that influence IWM, i.e. waste generation, infrastructure, handled waste, reduction of
waste, residual handling, final processing site, population/source of waste, mind-set and lifestyle, socialisation,
recognition of IS, organisation of IS, clarity for the role of all stakeholders, accessibility of waste, quantity and
quality of recyclable waste, price of recyclable material, waste picker income, and incentives or financial loans.
