Assessment of Waste Management Governance Capacity Based on TPS 3R in Buleleng Regency, Bali

Waste management in Buleleng Regency, particularly in Panji Anom Village, still faces various challenges despite efforts from the government through Bali Governor Regulation No. 47 of 2019. This study aims to analyze the governance capacity of waste management, focusing on the implementation of the Integrated household waste management based on Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle (TPS 3R) site system. The method used is a qualitative phenomenological approach through semi-structured interviews with stakeholders, along with analysis using the Governance Capacity Framework (GCF). The results show that although there is political support and community involvement, challenges such as service accessibility, limited infrastructure, and a lack of financial resources remain major obstacles. Factors facilitating the implementation of TPS 3R include active stakeholder engagement and a continuous learning process. However, low community participation and budget constraints hinder the effectiveness of the program. Strategic recommendations to improve governance capacity include expanding service accessibility, enhancing information transparency, diversifying financial resources, and strengthening local capacity. With these measures, it is hoped that the implementation of TPS 3R can be more effective and sustainable, supporting the development of better waste management policies in Buleleng Regency.
