Abstract
Like many other developing countries, Indonesia is struggling with its solid waste management. One
of the reasons for the failing waste management system is the challenge to get all stakeholders
together to cooperate for a common purpose, despite the different interests and needs of those
stakeholders. The Integrated Sustainable Waste Management (ISWM) model is specifically suitable for
the development of waste management in developing countries and therefore functions as a guideline
through all stages of this research. The model includes the involved stakeholders and six different
enabling environments that affect the waste management system. Furthermore, this research includes
the transtheoretical model of behavioural change in order to reflect on the role of awareness in
human behaviour regarding waste management.
The central question of this research is: In what way are the involved stakeholders, their
awareness on waste management and the enabling environment of the city of Semarang influencing the
waste management system of Semarang?
The conclusion of this research involves an overview of where internal- and external self-awareness
of different stakeholders of the waste management system in Semarang
meet each other and where they differ. Furthermore, all enabling environments that influence the
system are being applied to the case of Semarang. Recommendations for collaborations,
windows of opportunities and chances for improvements are presented.
