Waste amounts increased rapidly with economic growth. Not all of the waste generated are collected by municipalities due to their ‘limited’ capacity. Most of the formal waste collection are initiated, managed and operated by community (role of RTs/RWs). Almost of the cities in Indonesia rely on landfilling technology to dispose their waste collected. Land for new waste disposal sites for MSW is becoming difficult. Most of the landfilling process is open dumping. Improvement of waste management is a key focus of the strategy.Some cities may have set a goal of reducing the amount of waste recovery and waste disposed off at the final disposal site in a target year.To achieve this, the city needs to measure based on an action plan that includes both community-based activities and the city government’s efforts to increase waste collection, and to introduce waste separation at home and operation of an intermediate treatment facility for waste reduction. The focus of the strategy should be: 1.How to increase the waste collection rate and services and to improve its quality2.How to increase the waste recovery and to improve the quality of recyclable materials3.How to reduce the uncontrolled waste (and its ‘derivatives’) flows into environment

The quantity and age of the incoming stream of “feedstock” from product take-back systems are known as the major sources of the uncertainty that complicates the e-waste recovery. This paper presents the results of an analysis of data from an incoming stream for an e-waste collection center and analyzes the quantity and age of e-waste by product type and brand. The analysis results point out receiving of outdated products and processing of multiple generations, and brands of products at the same time are among main obstacles to the e-waste recovery. The potential role of product design in overcoming those obstacles is discussed with emphasis on design for upgrade, repurpose, and commonality.

Rapidly growing urbanization and increasing population in all over the world, causing dynamic increase in the amount of waste disposal. Dumping of waste has become a matter of concern all over the world because of the threat to the environment. There comes the pivotal role of the automatic waste segregation system which avoid this unfortunate situation and it also reduces the difficulty of recycling. Currently there is no such system for segregation of metal, dry, and wet waste. This work proposes a On spot automatic waste segregation system that gives the solution to this problem. The benefits of this work are, high potential for waste recovery and the occupational hazards of waste separating workers also reduces.

Surabaya as the second largest city in Indonesia has its large scale Final Disposal Site (FDS) in Njawar. There are quite a lot of scavengers in this area. They live in a village not far from the landfill site - FDS. Unfortunately, the Surabaya city government has already extended the waste management to the private sector leading to an impact on the income of the scavengers there. On the other hand, the human resources are very minimal. In responding such a situation, the scavengers apply the  livelihood  strategy to empower themselves to survive amid the urban poverty. This study aims to determine the livelihood strategy undertaken by the scavengers in building their empowerment in Surabaya landfill and some factors affecting it. The livelihood strategy  consists of  acquisition, allocation and social networking. Also  the community applies the livelihood strategy for the assets owned comprising of  physical, financial, social, waste, and spiritual assets,  In addition, the results of research indicated that work ethic, work motivation, the role of the collectors as mediators,  facilitators and  patrons have a significant influence on the livelihood strategies undertaken by the scavengers . The job as a scavenger can be classified as a profession although  this type of profession has not been recognized by the state. Such a condition like this  leads to less government participation in the scavenging community. The result of the study recommended the involvement of the related agencies such as  Social Service, Office of Sanitation and Gardening, NGOs and Universities to  issue  a policy  to regulate all the necessary things in finding out the matters of the scavengers. The participation of the governments of the native cities of the scavengers is highly expected. Some employments are supposed to be provided by their hometown so as to reduce the flow of urbanization

Jakarta ranks as the highest as the city that produces the most waste after China. Jakarta produces around seven thousand tons of waste every day. However, only six thousand tons of garbage can be transported to the Bantar Gebang Final Disposal Site per day. Some of the waste that is not transported then piles up on empty land and waterways, such as rivers and streams. Plus the habits of people who are still less concerned about the environment by littering, including in rivers or streams, make this plastic waste pollution increasing. Waste that is not transported then flows to the sea. At the sea, neglected plastic rubbish will not be decomposed in a short time. This accumulation of garbage then disrupts the life of marine life. In the process of environmental improvement and maintenance, the role of the surrounding community is an important factor. The community must take part in living their daily lives, such as: reducing the use of disposable plastics, sorting out trash before disposal, recycling waste into new valuable objects, and so on. Therefore this building design aims as a means for the community to learn and participate in handling issues that occur in this region. Architectural building, as a place that accommodates community activities, uses the principles of plasticity as the basis for forming mass and space. Abstrak Jakarta menduduki peringkat tertinggi kedua sebagai kota yang menghasilkan sampah paling banyak. Kota Jakarta menghasilkan sekitar tujuh ribu ton sampah setiap harinya. Namun, hanya sebanyak enam ribu ton sampah yang dapat diangkut ke Tempat Pembuangan Akhir Bantar Gebang per hari. Sebagian sisa sampah yang tidak terangkut ini kemudian menumpuk pada lahan kosong dan jalur air, seperti sungai dan kali. Ditambah lagi kebiasaan masyarakat yang masih kurang peduli terhadap lingkungan dengan membuang sampah sembarangan, termasuk ke sungai atau kali, membuat pencemaran sampah plastik ini semakin meningkat. Sampah yang tidak terangkut ini kemudian mengalir sampai ke laut. Di laut, sampah plastik yang diabaikan, tidak akan teurai dalam waktu singkat. Penumpukan sampah ini kemudian mengganggu kehidupan biota laut. Dalam proses perbaikan dan pemeliharaan lingkungan, peran masyarakat di sekitarnya merupakan faktor penting. Masyarakat harus ambil bagian dalam menjalani kehidupan sehari-hari, seperti: mengurangi penggunaan plastik sekali pakai, memilah sampah sebelum dibuang, mendaur ulang sampah menjadi benda baru yang bernilai, dan sebagainya. Oleh karena itu desain bangunan ini bertujuan sebagai sarana masyarakat untuk belajar dan ikut serta dalam penanganan isu yang terjadi di kawasan ini. Bangunan arsitektural, sebagai tempat yang mewadahi kegiatan masyarakat ini menggunakan prinsip-prinsip plastisitas sebagai dasar membentuk massa dan ruang.

Most Institutions of Higher Education (IHE) in Mexico have implemented ambitious tutoring programs since 2000 to face, among others, the problems of failing, dropping out and low terminal efficiency, as well as to contribute to the integral formation of students. The implementation of these programs has not been easy and the results obtained so far have been limited. One of the challenges to face is the training of teachers so that they can perform the role of tutors. In the present text, the results of a training proposal for tutors are analyzed following the principles of the Model for the Development and Evaluation of Academic Competencies (M-DECA), which seeks, from the reflection and self-evaluation of the participants, the rethinking of the Tutorial Action Plans (TAP) in a teacher training school for basic education in the city of Aguascalientes, Mexico. The program was offered in combined environments with the support of the Moodle platform, promoting the discussion and argumentation of the participants. The results show the awareness of the tutors about their role and the need to have better skills and possible ways to improve their tutorial action plan.

Batununggal Indah housing still faces obstacles in waste management due to the low awareness of the community to separate and sort waste. Therefore, this area is the target of implementing waste management assistance carried out by the Bandung City Environment and Sanitation Service (DLHK) in collaboration with the City Government of Kawasaki, Japan. This study aims to evaluate the implementation of the waste management program in Permai and Jelita Clusters by identifying activities, changing community behavior and calculating changes in the amount of waste that is disposed of at the final disposal site. The evaluation results show that the main activity that has been carried out is a social approach in the form of workshops and counseling. Measurement of waste generation shows a decrease in the weight of generated waste that is disposed of at the final disposal site, indicating that waste separation has been practiced. This decrease is still insignificant because the community has not consistently carried out sorting behavior, so it needs sustainable encouragement.

One of the main issues in the city of Cirebon is the problem of waste management. The City of Cirebon's Environmental Service is tasked with managing waste from Households and Industries to the Garbage Collection Site (TPS) to the Final Disposal Site (TPA). The business process of transporting waste from TPS to TPA still often experiences obstacles, one of which is the delay in transportation from TPS to TPA because it does not pay attention to the connectivity of waste flow and information flow as a single entity that forms a waste logistics network. The purpose of this study is to propose the design of waste logistics policy through improving the waste logistics business process. The research method applied by using the fishbone diagram and five whys analysis methods sourced from interviews, and field observations in finding the fundamental problems of each business process. The basic problem based on the results of the analysis is the accumulation of waste at the TPS. With the results of observations it will be designed improvements with streamlining tools analysis tools on Business Process Improvement (BPI) in presenting business process recommendations. Based on business process recommendations, then run a simulation to see performance improvements for each business process, with an increase in the performance of garbage delivery trucks from TPS to TPA by 34.31% so as to reduce the accumulation of waste in TPS.

The relevance of this issue is due to the fact that the events that began in the new Millennium in the global anti-corruption movement have further highlighted the important role of the fight against corruption in the business sector. A special role in combating corruption in the sphere at the global level is assigned to the Group of twenty — G20. In the course of the research, the author came to the conclusion that, quite positively, the functioning of the business sphere was affected by the adoption in November 12, 2010 in the city of In Seoul, the leaders of the G20 “Anti-corruption action Plan”, which for the first time openly called for a closer public-private partnership in the fight against corruption. Today, the G20 is a group of key countries with developed and emerging market economies. As major trading powers, the G20 has a special responsibility to prevent and combat corruption, create a legal and policy framework that promotes a clean business environment, and continue to assist countries in their efforts to build capacity to fight corruption. Today, the G20 sets a good example for many countries, international associations, and groups to fight corruption in business.

This paper asks how can we re-think and critically produce alternative ‘public’ spaces through translating forms of civic pedagogical tactics in Amman? Our neoliberal contemporary cities and political agendas, with its Arabic versions, have produced socially, spatially polarised and de-politized spaces. In fact, what we inhabit today are spaces that are pseudo public. Those spaces prompt critiquing the role of the architects, practitioners and architecture educators to intervene, mediate and response collectively. Trying to form a resistance to this problem, the responding approach is informed by reviewing and critiquing how architectural pedagogies are performed in Jordan, focusing on evaluating their civic engagement and the political and neoliberal influence. The paper then moves to focus on key relevant pedagogical models with envisioning the action plan that are adopted and tailored to the specific cultural, political and social context of Amman. This paper framework will start reflections from some critical pedagogical theories to evaluate and critique the current architectural pedagogical approaches in Amman-Jordan contexts and analysing the various actants such as political policies, civic interventions and processes that affect architecture education. Furthermore, it generates some important lessons and reflections from practices, such as the interventions used by Romanian architects in the 1980s, Pseudo Public Space Studio-UK, live projects-UK, triggering and resisting the challenges on civic practices. The study will conclude by proposing methodological framework for translating civic pedagogical tactics that prompt to provoke and draw the public attention towards the right to the city and its space, while resisting the challenges that are facing the context of Amman- Jordan. The process of translation is adopted and tailored to Amman-Jordan context, rather than imported and colonised. These tactics opened up possibilities and generated a new and alternative form of publicness, as well as a resilient and resistant community.

Waste collection and transportation is a problem that currently being faced by cities in Indonesia, especially in the city of Manado. Manado is one of the major cities that produces 2,064 m of waste per day. In 2018, Manado was given a title as one of the dirtiest major cities in Indonesia by the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK) in the assessment of Adipura. This is due to the over capacity of the final disposal site (TPA) and the incapability of each TPA to implement the sanitary landfile system. The purpose of this research is to determine the efficiency of waste transportation in the city of Manado, especially in the watershed area (DAS). This research focuses on the transport points of the watershed area, namely: Bailang Bridge, Megawati Bridge, Kalimas, Tugu Lilin, Yellow Bridge, God Bless Park, Freshmart Bahu, Shoulder Bridge and Regional Police Complex. The model used to solve the problem in this research is the Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP). The result of the total minimum of vehicle mileage is 81.4 km. Sensitivity analysis by adding three scenarios is completed in order to analyze the shortest distance using different routes. Based on the final results, we found that scenario 2 generates the minimum vehicle mileage of 73.8 km.
