Thesis entitled “The Role Of The Community In Pollution Prevention Through Waste
Bank In District Godean, Sleman Regency (Case Study Karanglo Asri Waste Bank)”.
The waste bank is one of the strategies and innovative solutions to "force" the
community to sort waste and ultimately become more respectful of waste according to
its type and value. The purpose of establishing a waste bank is to streamline waste
management through community participation. The research method used is
empirical legal research, namely research that focuses on social facts. This research
is conducted directly to the respondents to obtain primary data as the main data and
supported by secondary data. The results show that the role of the community in
preventing pollution through the Karanglo Asri Garbage Bank, Godean District,
Yogyakarta City have not been carried out optimally because it is caused by several
obstacles. Communities in the village do not participate and play an active role, the
level of community awareness is still lacking to maintain environmental cleanliness,
semi-permanent buildings are still very simple, there are still many waste banks that
are less active, and people still do not understand how to manage their own
household waste.
