Literature Review on the Relationship between Environmental Policies and Household Waste Management Practices
Main Article Content
Abstract
Environmental policies designed by the government aim to systematically address domestic waste issues. However, its success largely depends on how far households adopt values and practices that are in line with the content of the regulation. This study aims to examine the relationship between environmental policies and household waste management behavior through a literature study approach. The results of the study show that the success of policy implementation is not only determined by technical or administrative aspects, but also by residents' perceptions, social structure, and available support facilities. Policies that are not accompanied by persuasive communication, incentive systems, and active participation of residents tend to be less effective in changing domestic habits. In addition, the literature shows that support from local institutions and strengthening social norms can accelerate the process of internalizing environmental values. This study emphasizes that the interaction between regulation and behavior should be seen as a dynamic process involving structure and culture, not just procedural compliance. The study provides an analytical framework to understand the complexity of waste management policy implementation and suggests a more contextualized and reflective approach in public policy design.
