ABSTRACT

RUDI ISKANDAR. 2003. HOUSEHOLD’S BEHAVIOUR TOWARDS DOMESTIC WASTE MANAGMENT : (Case Study of Villages in area of Jakarta, Depok and Bogor along the Ciliwung riversides). Under supervision of Kooswardhono Mudikdjo (Chairman), Bunasor Sanim and Sunsun Saefulhakim (members)
Ciliwung river crossing seventh districts and two provinces (West Java Province and Jakarta Special Province)  becomes important  water sources for people of the region.Villages located along the Ciliwung riversides have an experienced urbanisation process, the changes from rural  to urban characters. The most prominent charateristics are high density of building and  population. The density of  building and population and  their  connectivities to the riversides make the area have  potensial  contribution to the garbage pollution of the river. Besides that  high activity development in the areas  makes the body of the river becoming narrower, especially that of  the down streams  (Jakarta region). These conditions give impacts on the water debit and the flood  often happen in the rainy season. In 1996 the flood occured at  precipitation  of about 136 mm in the Katulampa station. The flood was smaller compared that happening in 2001 which had precipitation of about 80 mm in the same station. It means that the increasing  impact of the flood was not only caused by the water debit but also by other factors such as garbages  entering to the river.
The aims of the study are to exemine: 1) Rural-urban typology in the region, especially the villages along riversides of the Ciliwung; and Indicators determining rural-urban typology in the the region; 2) Factors influencing perception, behavior, willingness to pay (WTP) and participation of the people towards  domestic waste managment.
A field survey was conducted in 20 vilages of Ciliwung riversides with samples taken proprtional to configuration of the typology. Collected data was analized by using statistical analysis, like frequency, crossing tables, means, standard deviation, and path analysis. This research set up a model of relationship between perception, behaviour, WTP and participation to improve the condition of  domestic waste managment. The model was especially set up based on the result of the path analysis, the main analysing technique in the research.
The research resumed that: (1) There are 75 villages  crossed by Ciliwung river from the upper to the down stream most of them (85.2 %) are urban areas [which categorised into “first urban”  (13.3 %) and “second urban villages” (72,1 %)], others are “rural-urban transition” (9,3 %) and  “rural villages” (5,3 %). (2) Indicators determining the rural-urban typology in the region are: landuse pattern, population density, proportion of slums areas, distance from urban facilities, percentage of poor households; (3)  Determining indicators are specifics interm of index of housing quality, index of environmental quality and behavioral characteristic of the people (perception, behavior, WTP and participation towards domestic waste managment; (4) Rural-urban typology and village characters are two main factors influencing index of housing quality and index of environmental quality, (5) Perception, behavior, WTP and participation towards domestic waste managment are specifics interm of rural-urban typology, villages charateristics, index of housing quality and index of environmental quality (6) The household behavior towards domestic waste managment has no significant causal relation with their perception, which indcate that a good perception is not always followed by a good behavior either. (7) The participation of domestic waste managment have been consistence to WTP, which means that their high WTP is always followed by high participation
