Abstract

Waste management in urban areas tends to be under the jurisdiction of the state or government only. This makes the handling of the waste problem relatively slow while the activities and consumption patterns of the industry and community increasingly produce much waste. A polycentric waste governance system, where more than one institution with each jurisdiction is involved in managing waste problems, can be an alternative to a system centered on only one authority. By taking a case study of the waste bank movement in Salatiga, Central Java, this paper examines the approach of community-based circular economy initiatives and how communities interact with all sectors and levels of urban waste governance. Data is gathered from documentary studies, in-depth interviews, and observations; and analyzed with a polycentric governance approach, which sheds light on cross-organizational collaborative arrangements. The study results show that the community-based circular economy initiatives through waste banks in Salatiga result from either a top-down approach which the municipal government instructs or a bottom-up that civil society organizations and communities initiate. The study findings also show that embedding community-based waste management through waste banks in Salatiga can enhance wider circular economy practices, strengthen the linkages across sectors and levels, and balance the authorities in a polycentric waste governance system. Therefore, waste banks must be recognized as reliable institutions governing waste, especially in urban areas.
