THE IMPORTANCE OF ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES INCLUSION IN WASTE MANAGEMENT: THE HOUSEHOLD RESPONSES IN PALEMBANG CITYDian Novriadhy, Muhammad Yazid, Muhammad Faizal and NgudiantoroAbstract The environmental sociology perspective highlighted how to overcome the ecological degradation based on social aspect inclusion in such solving action that seemed useful to solve household waste management problems in Palembang City. The study aims to assess household responses to the importance of water and air quality services inclusion in waste management. The research used a choice experiment by using a half-fraction factorial design. The number of attributes used was four; each of them had two levels. Attributes used were water and air quality, cost, and sorting of waste. The conditional logit regression approach interprets the marginal coefficient of willingness to pay for environmental services. The findings showed that water quality was more likely to be one of the considerations in choosing a waste management model rather than air quality. Households were more willing to pay in time-allocation-to-separate-waste form rather than paid additional fees. The spatially differentiated action should be taken to increase the effectiveness of waste collecting. The waste management policy should view as mandatory for every citizen. This perspective could give additional benefits to counter the hedonic factors. |
