The title of this research is The Role Of Dinas Kebersihan dan Lingkungan Hidup
In The Region Melawi District. Waste management in Melawi Regency is a task
and responsibility mandated by the Hygiene and Environment Service of Melawi
Regency. The waste management process should be based on statutory
regulations. The purpose of this research is to find out the role of the Sanitation
and Environment Service in waste management in Melawi Regency and to find out
the law enforcement efforts by the Sanitation and Environment Service in waste
management in Melawi Regency. This writing uses empirical writing methods that
focus on social phenomena that occur. The conclusion of this study is that the
waste management carried out by the Hygiene and Environment Office of Melawi
Regency is not optimal because waste processing is still limited to burning, and
there is no waste control process. Law enforcement carried out by the Hygiene
and Environment Office of Melawi Regency is limited to preventive enforcement
processes because there have been no real cases that have occurred as a form of
repressive enforcement.
