WASTE BANK FOR COMMUNITY-BASED WASTE MANAGEMENT AND ITS TECHNOLOGY IMPLEMENTATION FOR BETTER PERFORMANCE: STATE-OF-THE-ART AND FUTURE RESEARCH DIRECTION

Abstract

Purpose: This study provides some crucial insights into the research gaps in studies focusing on waste banks, including their relationship with behavioural factors that affect the sustainable participation of communities in the existing Waste Bank Program and technology involvement for waste bank management. Methods: This study uses the literature review method that involves the study of various journal articles that discuss waste banks as a form of community-based waste management, as well as the factors that influence its success and application in waste bank management, published between 2015–21, both in English and Indonesian. Results: Various efforts have been made to solve the waste management problem, including the implementation of community-based waste management. Community participation is very important in waste bank management. However, issues arise in the implementation of this initiative because of the unsupportive behaviour of the community. State-of-the-art technology has been implemented in waste bank management. Conclusion: These studies indicate that the role of social capital is very important to increase community participation in waste management. Regarding technology involvement in waste management, most studies were related to web or application development, while their evaluation was rarely done.
