Abstract
The objectives of this study are 1) to analyze the determinants of waste generation caused by population density, GRDP (Gross Regional Domestic Product) per capita, AMH (Literacy Rate) and regional dummy at the district/city level in Central Java; 2) to analyze the influence of AMH and regional dummy on waste management efficiency in Central Java; 3) to formulate a sustainable waste management strategy in Central Java. These three objectives were analyzed using different analytical tools. The General Method of Moment (GMM) analysis tool was used to analyze the first objective, Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) to analyze the second objective and Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) to analyze the third objective. The results of the study indicate 1) population density, GRDP per capita and regional dummy significantly influence waste generation both partially and together while the AMH variable is not significant; 2) AMH and regional dummy significantly influence transported waste; 3) waste recycling as a sustainable waste management strategy in Central Java. The results of the first model estimation also show that the WKC (Waste Kuznets Curve) curve is shaped like an inverted U. The results of the second model estimation also show that Pekalongan City achieved the highest technical efficiency, while Boyolali Regency achieved the lowest. Based on the GMM estimation of the first model and the SFA estimation of the second model, the city area generated less waste and was more efficient than the regency.
