Abstract


Household waste management is one of the major challenges in sustainable urban development, particularly in areas experiencing rapid population growth and economic activity. Although operating within the same policy framework, waste management performance at the local level often shows significant variation. This study aims to analyze the empirical conditions of household waste management at the urban village level and to explain performance disparities in waste management across urban villages in Bandar Lampung City. The study employed a mixed methods approach with an exploratory sequential design. Qualitative data were obtained through interviews, observation, and document study, while quantitative data were collected through a household survey in eight urban villages purposively selected based on variations in regional characteristics. The analysis focused on waste management conditions and performance dimensions comprising effectiveness, efficiency, participation, and sustainability. The results indicate that household waste management conditions at the urban village level still vary in terms of waste generation volume, waste separation levels, collection frequency, availability of facilities and infrastructure, and community participation. The study also found substantial performance disparities among urban villages. These performance differences are influenced by institutional capacity, availability of facilities and infrastructure, levels of community participation, quality of service operations, and environmental education activities. The study concludes that household waste management requires a more adaptive approach to local characteristics in order to improve service performance and reduce disparities across areas.
