Efektivitas Sosialisasi Program Bank Sampah dalam Mendorong Partisipasi Masyarakat: Studi Kasus di Kelurahan Dusun Besar Kota Bengkulu

Enjelina Solin — 2025-09-19

The Waste Bank Program is a community-based waste management
initiative aimed at reducing waste volume and increasing environmental
awareness among residents. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the
initial socialization of the Waste Bank Program in encouraging community
participation in Dusun Besar Village, Bengkulu City. The method used is a
qualitative approach with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews,
observation, and documentation involving the village authorities, waste bank
managers, as well as residents who are both involved and not yet involved in the
program. The research findings indicate that socialization efforts carried out
through community meetings, social media, and direct counseling were fairly
successful in reaching most of the community. However, the level of participation
remains moderate due to obstacles such as a lack of technical understanding,
limited supporting facilities, and uneven distribution of information. Therefore,
the effectiveness of the socialization can be considered moderately successful but
needs improvement through more intensive, participatory, and community-based
communication strategies. These findings are expected to serve as a reference for
local governments and community managers in optimizing the implementation
of the Waste Bank Program in the future.
