Abstract

This study analyzes the level of community participation in solid waste management in Kaimana District, Papua Barat, focusing on Kelurahan Kaimana Kota and Kelurahan Krooy. A descriptive, qualitative, and quantitative approach was applied through a survey of 100 respondents using strati-fied random sampling. The findings reveal that community perception of environmental cleanliness is very good (score 4.0), while technical knowledge of waste management remains low (score 1.8). Community practices (2.5) and self-help facilities (2.2) are only moderately effective, reflecting lim-ited infrastructure and technical skills. Institutional support (3.3) and budget allocation (3.0) are relatively good, but regulations (2.8) and authority (2.5) are not yet optimal. Operational aspects show that waste collection is fairly effective (3.2), whereas temporary storage facilities (2.3) and final disposal sites (2.4) face capacity and quality challenges. These results highlight a gap between strong community awareness and limited practical implementation due to insufficient knowledge, facilities, and regulatory enforcement. Strategic recommendations include strengthening environ-mental literacy, enhancing institutional capacity, providing community-based facilities, and enforc-ing regulations to support sustainable waste management in Kaimana District
