Environmental-based budget planning in the Tegal Regency Government

Abstract

Environmental problems in Tegal Regency have become complex and not handled well. Some of the factors causing environmental problems that have not been handled properly are the low commitment of the regional government to prioritize environmental interests in regional development priorities and the low awareness of the community towards the environment. However, budget allocation for environmental sector is still considered low, i.e. 1.48 %. This low budget allocation requires a priority scale to overcome environmental problems in Tegal Regency. This study aims to determine priorities in sectors and policies in environment-based budgeting in the Tegal Regency Government. The research method used is a quantitative approach. The analytical tool used is the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method with the help of Expert Choice. Based on the results of the study that the waste sector is a priority sector and the procurement of garbage trucks is a policy priority in environment-based budget planning in the Tegal Regency Government
