Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the implementation of the Gema Tasamara program in Takalar Regency. Using a qualitative approach, the researchers conducted in-depth interviews and analyzed archival records to understand the implementation process. The results show that the implementation of the Gema Tasamara program has demonstrated policy accuracy, with the establishment of the Tasamara recycling center contributing to the reduction of waste accumulation along the main roads and temporary disposal sites. However, the management of the recycling center has not been optimal, with issues such as unclear levies affecting its sustainability. The government has also conducted socialization on waste sorting to promote a culture of clean and healthy living among the community.
