Implementation of Environmental Pollution Control Policies in Youtefa Bay, Jayapura City

Abstract

This study aims to determine and analyze the implementation of environmental pollution control measures in Yotefa Bay, Jayapura City, along with the supporting and inhibiting factors. The research method used was qualitative with a descriptive approach. Data collection techniques included interviews, observation, literature review, and documentation. Data analysis included data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results show that the implementation of environmental pollution control policies in Yotefa Bay is influenced by various factors, such as communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure. Although the government has attempted to involve the community and raise environmental awareness, challenges such as budgetary constraints, limited human resources, and bureaucratic complexity remain obstacles. To achieve greater success, inter-agency coordination, transparency in decision-making, and active community participation are necessary. Furthermore, supporting factors such as the presence of a trained team, government support, and increased public awareness are crucial. However, challenges such as low public awareness, inadequate infrastructure, and weak coordination must also be addressed. With comprehensive measures including increased budgeting, environmental education, and inter-agency collaboration, efforts to maintain cleanliness and environmental sustainability in Youtefa Bay can be more effective and sustainable for future generations.
