The waste problem in the city of Yogyakarta is increasingly complex due to
population growth, industrial activity, trade and tourism. The Yogyakarta City
Government issued Yogyakarta City Regional Regulation Number 1 of 2022
concerning Waste Management as an effort to overcome this problem. This
research aims to analyze the implementation of these regulations, identify the
obstacles faced, and find solutions to increase their effectiveness. The research
methods used is empirical using field observations and interviews with related
parties, including the Environmental Service and the Civil Service Police Unit
(Satpol PP). The research results show that the implementation of this Regional
Regulation is not optimal. Even though several programs have been implemented,
such as the Zero Inorganic Waste Movement and outreach to the community, there
are still significant obstacles. The main obstacles in implementing this Regional
Regulation include the lack of supporting infrastructure such as waste depots and
waste crushing machines, limited land, and increasing waste volumes due to high
tourist mobility. Apart from that, weak supervision from the responsible institutions
is also a major factor hampering the effectiveness of this regulation. The conclusion
of this research is that the implementation of Yogyakarta City Regional Regulation
Number 1 of 2022 still faces various challenges, both in terms of government
readiness and community participation. Concrete steps are needed, such as
increasing supervision, adding waste management facilities, and more intensive
education to the public so that this policy can run more effectively.
