The Palu City Environment Office”. Supervised by Muzakir Tawil as the supervisor with Richard
F. Labiro as co-supervisor
This study aims to determine the Implementation of Plastic Waste Reduction Policy at the
Environmental Service of Palu City. The research method used is Descriptive Qualitative, the data
collection techniques used are observation, in-depth informant interviews and documentation to collect
the required data in the form of primary and secondary data. While the informants in this study
amounted to 7 people, namely 4 people from the Palu City Environmental Service and 3 people from
the Palu City community. The theory used in this research is the theory of George C. Edward III which
has four indicators namely Communication, Resources, Disposition, and Bureaucratic Structure.
Based on the results of the study, it shows that the Implementation of the Plastic Waste
Reduction Policy at the Environmental Service of Palu City cannot be said to be running well. This can
be seen from the indicators of the research results which include aspects of communication among the
general public that are still lacking, it can be seen in the transmission indicators that the government
has done, but socialization is only carried out in modern retail and also for the delivery of information
and clarity about reducing plastic waste has not gone well. Human resources are not yet good, the budget
for the operational funds of the plastic waste reduction program is not sufficient, as well as the facilities
at TPS 3R and the waste transportation fleet are not yet adequate. The disposition or attitude of
implementers is good because policy implementers have carried out their duties, it's just that there are
still obstacles faced and good standard operating procedures (SOPs) for reducing plastic waste. As for
suggestions for the implementation of plastic waste reduction policies at the Palu City Environmental
Service to run well, it must improve communication, namely in the transmission or dissemination of
information evenly to the public and need to increase facilities and infrastructure such as waste
transportation fleets and completeness of TPS 3R facilities. And for the community it is suggested that
there needs to be awareness of the environment to care about reducing plastic waste in Palu City.
