Organic Waste Management in the Hospitality Area for the Development and Conservation of Ecotourism in the Mandalika Special Economic Zone, Indonesia: Literature Review

Abstract

The Mandalika Special Economic Zone is included in five super Priority Travel Destinations throughout Indonesia. Mandalika has two main potential tourist attractions: the beauty of white sand and green hills along the coastline that stretches for 7.2 km. The target for Mandalika for Total Hotels & Resorts is 10,000 units, and villas, condominiums, and townhouses are 3800 units which will potentially become a source of waste. The total landfill in Mandalika is 215.7 tonnes/per year. Waste management, including waste reduction and handling in Mandalika, must be of particular concern to area managers, tourism managers, communities, tourists and local governments. Efforts that the Regional Government has made are increasing the number of landfills, garbage collection vehicles and cleaners. In addition, what is no less important is the need to educate the public about cleanliness and training in organic and inorganic waste management. Community involvement around Mandalika will positively impact the local community's economy because the results of waste processing by recycling and composting can be re-sold.

Implementing Ai-Driven Waste Management Systems in Underserved Communities in the Usa

“…Studies have shown a shift towards recognizing informal waste workers as essential in municipal waste management (Boampong et al, 2020). Addressing equity and access involves empowering local communities, increasing community involvement in waste management, and exploring economic opportunities within waste management to boost employment (Pauzi & Purwoko, 2022). Community engagement is vital for effective waste management.…”
