Material type: materialTypeLabelBookPublisher: Indian Journal of Public Administration Description: 65(3), Sep, 2019: p.646-660.Subject(s): Waste, Utilisation of - Bali In: Indian Journal of Public AdministrationSummary: The analysis presented here will apply the integrated sustainable waste management (ISWM) model to Bali’s tourism industry to contemplate the viability of introducing to the island tech-based infrastructure, specifically solar-powered waste compactors, in low- to medium-density areas. The current system of waste management in Bali reveals a lack of cooperation among its stakeholders; hotels and luxury developers are using non-biodegradable materials at a massive scale—the proper disposal of which the local residents are unfamiliar with—and much of this waste ends up in illegal dumps. This system illustrates how inherently unsustainable the tourism industry is in general and especially in areas lacking consistent government supervision. This article will explore how a culture-shift perspective, organisation of cooperative entities, multi-stakeholder governance and integration of tech-based solutions can help alleviate current pressure on the waste system in Bali. - Reproduced.
