Institutionalism to Drive Source of Financing for Municipal Solid Waste Management Acceleration in Indonesia
Keywords: Waste management, Financing, Institutionalism influence, Public policy
Abstract
Purpose – Waste becomes a major problem when improperly managed. In Indonesia, one solution that is being discussed is to convert the waste to electrical energy. This study is expected to comprehend potential institutionalization engagement among relevant stakeholders to support the Waste to Energy project acceleration.
Methodology – In-depth interview was conducted to explore the topic, while qualitative data were coded under institutionalism factors and analyzed using an interpretive method with QDAS – Nvivo.
Findings – The results showed policy-making ideas on WtE were primarily influenced by mimetic and coercive institutionalism factors, which had the strongest correlation. This was followed by the correlations between normative and mimetic, as well as normative and coercive. Moreover, the study showed the importance of expanding financing paradigm for WtE projects toward non-budgetary sources, which could accelerate development across the country.
Originality – Several studies have explored the potential and development of WtE in Indonesia, but only a few have addressed alternative financing sources and fiscal aspects. The current study explored institutionalism from the perspective of Indonesian stakeholders.
