STRATEGIC FORMULATION ANALYSIS OF WASTE BANK UNIT ASOKA V IN COMMUNITY-BASED WASTE MANAGEMENT

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the strategic formulation of Waste Bank Unit Asoka V in improving community participation and the effectiveness of waste management. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques including observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The analysis is conducted using the SWOT framework (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats). The findings reveal that Waste Bank Unit Asoka V possesses significant strengths in terms of operational facilities, program innovation, and increasing waste volume. However, the organization still faces challenges related to low community participation and dependency on external stakeholders. Opportunities arise from government policy support and increasing environmental awareness, while threats originate from competition with informal waste collectors and digital platforms. This study recommends strengthening participatory strategies, enhancing program innovation, and integrating digital systems to ensure long-term sustainability.
