CASE STUDY 1. GUIDELINES FOR WASTE MANAGEMENT IN WILDLIFE RESERVES, NATIONAL PARKS, NATURAL TOURISM PARKS, GRAND FOREST PARKS, AND HUNTING PARKS - DEDI PARENDEN Guidelines have been developed for the priority of maintaining the cleanliness of tourist destination areas. Waste management is needed to preserve endemic flora and fauna within wildlife reserves, national parks, natural tourism parks, grand forest parks, and hunting parks in Indonesia. Therefore, efforts to reduce and manage waste in the area need to be made to encourage good conservation area management practices. The purpose and objectives of preparing guidelines for waste management are: • As a reference for regional stakeholders regarding the procedures for managing waste in wildlife reserves, national parks, nature tourism parks, grand forest parks, and hunting parks. • As a reference for local governments to make regulations on waste management procedures in the Great Forest Park. • The implementation of waste management processes in wildlife reserves, national parks, nature tourism parks, grand forest parks, and hunting parks based on appropriate methods, rules and regulations. IMPLEMENTATION OF WASTE MANAGEMENT The waste management process was introduced and implemented in Suaka Margasatwa, National Park, National Tourism Park, Run Forest Park and Buru Park. The principles of waste management that were implemented: • Reduce - is a technique to reduce waste by maximising the use of goods. Example: tumbler, shopping bag, etc. • Reuse - means to reuse garbage that can still be used for the same function or other functions. Example: handkerchiefs, print paper back and forth, etc. • Recycle - has the meaning of the process of making used materials or waste into new materials that can be reused. Example: composter, can, etc. The community need to manage natural resources and the environment - waste bank, community waste management, and or non-governmental organisations have the duty to provide guidance and training as well as community involvement in: • Performing waste segregation according to the type of waste. • Carrying out action on caring for waste in the conservation area. KEY FACTORS FOR SUCCESS • Waste management • Provision of facilities and infrastructure • Education and improvement of community awareness • Collaborative waste management Waste Management is a key success factor in developing tourism destination on conservation land area. 108
