Abstract

The Majalengka Regency Government issued Regional Regulation Number 3 of 2023 concerning Waste Management to overcome environmental problems. However, even though the regulation already exists, the waste problem remains a major environmental problem in several sub-districts. The purpose of this research is to analyze the implementation of policies of the Regional Government of Majalengka Regency in waste management in Majalengka Regency and to examine and provide an ideal concept related to policy synchronization in waste management between the Regional Government, District Government and Village Government in realizing environmentally sound waste management in Majalengka Regency. This study uses a normative juridical approach with an analytical descriptive nature. Data were collected through literature studies to obtain secondary data from primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials. Field research is also carried out to obtain primary data that supports secondary data. Data analysis was carried out using qualitative analysis techniques. The results of the study show that the Majalengka Regency Regional Government implements a systematic waste management policy to create a clean and healthy environment. Key strategies include reducing waste from its source, improving recycling programs, and managing the efficiency of landfills, supported by regulations, facilities, infrastructure, and public education. Collaboration with the private sector and local communities is also important. Despite facing challenges, the Majalengka Regional Government is strongly committed to improving environmental conditions and public health through coordinated efforts with the District and Village Governments.
