Policy Dialog #1

Policy Dialogue for Sampah sisa Upacara Agama Issue.

This Policy Dialogue emerged from Sampah Upacara wikithon.

Summary

Waste management in temples faces several challenges, including the mixing of organic and plastic waste, waste generated by vendors, and ceremonial residues that are difficult to process. Proposed solutions include providing waste segregation facilities, educating the community and vendors, and enforcing strict regulations through *prarem* and *awig-awig* of traditional villages. The optimization of 3R waste processing facilities and innovations such as modern *tebe* and waste banks are necessary to support recycling and organic waste processing. Additionally, increasing public awareness through continuous socialization and strict law enforcement is crucial to driving behavioral change. From a financial perspective, budget allocation from the traditional village RAPBD and government funding is needed to support infrastructure and operational waste management. Key takeaways from the FGD emphasize the need for waste policy socialization, clear budget planning, strict enforcement of penalties for violators, and strengthening the role of traditional villages in temple waste management.
