Komunikasi Lingkungan Pada Pengolahan Sampah Daur Ulang Di Tempat Pembuangan Sampah Sumur Batu Bekasi

Abstract

Environmental communication on the problem of recycled waste processing in the Sumurbatu Final Disposal Site (TPA) is an important discourse in formulating solutions to environmental problems that occur. The research location was determined in the Sumurbat u TPA area for several reasons, among others, the location was the center for final waste disposal for all residents of the capital city of Jakarta and Bekasi City with a population of around 13 million. The volume of waste disposal, which reaches 9,000 tons per day from DKI, and 900 tons per day from Bekasi City residents, has caused environmental pollution that has been going on for a long time. Pollution occurs to the air, soil and water contained therein. The open dumping system has become a major factor in pollution, and new appropriate technology has been pursued by the Central and Regional Governments in recent years. Due to the inadequacy of the waste processing system, especially in the Sumur Batu TPA, the Ministry of Environment has crossed out the name of Bekasi City in the list of Adipura cities because the value obtained is certain to be low because the final waste handling is not good. Due to this problem, the waste recycling program is implemented by optimizing the role of communicators to encourage changes in the waste processing system approach. Through this program, it is hoped that waste will have been sorted from the source to reduce the volume that goes to final disposal. Using a qualitative approach, the researcher wants to know the implementation of environmental communication in the implementation of the program by focusing on convergence communication, namely the creation of an understanding between all stakeholders in the recycled waste management system.
