ABSTRACTEnvironmental quality is still an issue in society. One of them is related to the problem of waste. Waste problems that cause environmental pollution can be found in Banjarmasin, especially around residential areas on the banks of rivers.

Therefore, this study aims to determine the characteristics of the community, attitudes, and behavior of the people on the banks of the Alalak river related to disposing of household waste and to estimate the average amount of waste generated in each family head. The research population is the head of the family who lives on the banks of the Alalak River, as many as 37 Neighborhood Associations, and as many as 3191 Heads of families. The research sample based on Krejcie and Morgan's tables was 346 respondents. The types of data are primary and secondary and use quantitative descriptive methods. The study results confirm that the community is the lower middle class and indigenous people who have lived for a long time. The majority of the people along the Alalak river throw their garbage into the river or carelessly because attitudes influence them based on personal experience, lack of awareness and responsibility in environmental service activities, the unavailability of adequate waste disposal facilities, and the lack of facilities and methods of waste management provided by the government. The results of the calculation of the estimated waste of the community along the Alalak River based on the estimated amount of waste all respondents produced 930 kilograms of solid waste and produced 132900 liters of liquid waste per day with an average of 3 kilograms of solid waste and bath, wash, toilet liquid waste with a range of 300 liters per household.ABSTRAKKualitas lingkungan masih menjadi isu di masyarakat. Satu diantaranya adalah berkaitan dengan permasalahan sampah. Persoalan sampah yang menimbulkan pencemaran lingkungan diantaranya dapat ditemui di Kota Banjarmasin, khusunya disekitar wilayah pemukiman masyarakat di bantaran sungai. Meningkatnya pemukiman masyarakat menyebabkan meningkatnya pula jumlah sampah yang dibuang ke sungai. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui karakteristik masyarakat, sikap dan perilaku pada masyarakat di bantaran sungai Alalak terkait membuang sampah rumah tangga, dan mengestimasi rata-rata sampah yang dihasilkan dalam setiap kepala keluarga. Populasi penelitian adalah kepala keluarga yang berada di bantaran Sungai Alalak sebanyak 37 RT dan sebanyak 3191 KK. Sampel penelitian berdasarkan tabel krejcie dan morgan sebanyak 346 responden. Jenis datanya yaitu primer dan sekunder, dan menggunakan metode deskriptif kuantitatif. Hasil penelitian memastikan bahwa masyarakat merupakan kelas menengah ke bawah dan penduduk asli yang sudah lama bermukim. Masyarakat bantaran sungai Alalak mayoritas membuang sampah ke sungai atau sembarangan karena dipengaruhi oleh sikap berdasarkan pengalaman pribadi, kurangnya kesadaran dan tanggung jawab dalam kegiatan kerja bakti lingkungan, belum tersedianya sarana pembuangan sampah yang memadai, dan faktor kurangnya penyediaan fasilitas dan cara pengelolaan sampah yang diberikan pemerintah. Hasil perhitungan estimasi sampah masyarakat bantaran Sungai Alalak berdasarkan jumlah estimasi sampah seluruh responden menghasilkan 930 kilogram sampah padat dan menghasilkan 132.900 liter limbah cair per hari dengan rata-rata menghasilkan 3 kilogram sampah padat dan limbah cair MCK dengan kisaran 300 liter setiap kepala keluarga
