Abstract

Waste management in the city of Jambi requires an innovative approach to address sustainability and effectiveness challenges. This research was initiated to develop a waste management model at the district level in the city of Jambi, based on the Project-Based Learning (PjBL) approach. The research method employs a qualitative approach with a case study conducted in 11 districts of the city of Jambi. Measurements taken before and after the implementation of PjBL show a significant improvement in understanding waste management. From the evaluation of waste management in the 11 districts, several issues were identified, such as a lack of collaboration among relevant parties. The integration of PjBL in the development of the waste management model at the district level in the city of Jambi involves the establishment of SOP as a solution, along with the innovation of creating mini waste banks in each neighborhood (RT/RW) involving third parties such as state-owned enterprises (BUMN), regional-owned enterprises (BUMD), and private companies through Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). It is hoped that this model can address the identified issues and serve as a solid foundation for the development of effective, responsive, and sustainable waste management at the district level in the city of Jambi.
