The Role of the Reduce, Reuse, Recycle Temporary Shelter (TPS 3R) in Tapis Village in Household Waste Management in Tapis Village Community

Abstract

This research explores the role of the Reduce, Reuse, Recycle (TPS 3R) Temporary Shelter in Tapis Village in managing household waste. The main objective is to analyze the contribution of TPS 3R to household waste management practices by the Tapis Village community. The research method used was in-depth interviews and participatory observation to collect data from selected respondents who were involved in waste management. Research findings reveal that TPS 3R in Tapis Village has a significant role in increasing community awareness and participation in household waste management practices. TPS 3R also helps in facilitating waste sorting, promoting the principles of reduce, reuse, recycle, as well as creating additional sources of income through recycling activities. However, challenges such as a lack of understanding of the benefits of TPS 3R and the need for improved infrastructure and stricter regulations need to be addressed to increase the effectiveness of household waste management in Tapis Village. This study provides valuable insight into the importance of TPS 3R in the context of waste management at the village level and provides recommendations for further improvements in the implementation and development of similar programs in rural communities.
