Abstract
Humans generate an average of around 0.68 kg of waste per day. Waste should be the responsibility of all parties, both individuals and organizations. The Special Region of Yogyakarta has the Piyungan Landfill (TPA Piyungan). The Piyungan Landfill has reached its waste capacity limit, leading to several closures. Through the Governor of DIY’s Letter No. 658/11898, concerning the Decentralization of Waste Management in Regencies/Cities across DIY, all regencies and cities in DIY are required to manage their own waste independently. The purpose of this study is to describe the implementation process of decentralized public services in the Special Region of Yogyakarta. This study uses a qualitative method, focusing on the Government of the Special Region of Yogyakarta. The results show that the four categories of decentralization- political, administrative, fiscal, and economic- have been successfully implemented, allowing waste management to run smoothly and gradually resolve the waste crisis.
