Effective wastewater management is crucial to mitigating the environmental damage caused by the landfill.

💡Wisata Edukasi (Educational Tourism)

Wisata edukasi refers to the concept of transforming TPS Piyungan into an 'educational waste tourism' site. The video suggests that with proper management, the landfill could become a place for learning about waste management and environmental conservation. This vision includes planting trees and creating an attractive landscape to make the landfill a less stigmatized and more educational destination.

Highlights

Rapid urban growth has led to an increase in waste production, posing a global problem affecting ecosystems, human health, and the planet's future.

Waste management often fails due to lack of awareness and ineffective systems, with both citizens and government contributing to the issue.

The Piyungan landfill in Yogyakarta receives over 400 tons of waste daily from three regions: Yogyakarta City, Sleman Regency, and Bantul Regency.

Piyungan was previously a residential and agricultural area, but it was repurposed as a landfill, with residents being relocated.

Contaminated wells near the landfill have led residents to rely on PAM (public utility water) for clean water, as groundwater is no longer safe for consumption.

Health issues such as diarrhea, skin rashes, and coughs were prevalent, but improved sanitation practices, like the installation of clean water stations, have reduced these problems.

The landfill also serves religious and community purposes, with clean water stations facilitating proper hygiene for both health and religious practices.

Piyungan has two health service providers: one government-led and the other run by the Muhammadiyah organization in collaboration with various hospitals, offering more comprehensive free healthcare.

Challenges in waste disposal include long delays at the landfill, causing waste to pile up and creating an unpleasant odor that affects nearby residents.

Water contamination from the landfill could further degrade the quality of drinking water, heightening the urgency for better waste management practices.

Future plans aim to turn the landfill into an educational site and green space, offering a more positive outlook on waste management and environmental education.

The Mardiko community plays a vital role in helping reduce waste through recycling efforts, collecting up to 90 tons of waste weekly.

Despite their contributions, waste collectors at Piyungan receive no official support or aid from the government, relying on donations from private individuals or organizations.

Yogyakarta's reputation as an educational hub contrasts sharply with the growing waste problem, highlighting the disconnect between civic pride and environmental management.

Public awareness and involvement in waste separation at the household level could help mitigate the waste crisis, starting with small changes that collectively have a larger impact.

visi misi dari pemerintah apa komitmen

tadi TPS ini satu itu ikut membantu

pemerintah dalam hal mengurangi debit

sampah maka komunitas kami dinamakan

mardiko

mardiko kepanjangan dari makaryo Adi

ngayojokarto yang berarti bekerja

membantu kebersihan Kota Yogyakarta

lewat apa lewat mulut Loh kok bisa ya

dengan teman-teman yang jumlahnya kurang

lebih 400 orang Nah itu bisa mengurangi

efek sampah per Minggunya karena di sini

ada 15 pengepul atau juragan lah itu

bisa mengumpan kami prediksi kurang

lebih

6 ton 6 ton kali 5 15 pengepul Jadi

kurang lebih 90 ton per minggu kalau 1

bulan berapa 1 tahun berapa Sudah 28

tahun berapa Kalau tidak ada di TPS

maka pemulung yang ada KTP kali ini

sangat berperan sekali untuk membantu

mengolah debit sampah yang ada di tpst

Tetapi maaf kami bukan menjelekkan dari

pemerintah ya terutama yang menanya

masalah sampah yaitu belum pernah kami

dibantu berwujud apapun oleh pemerintah

terutama yang menangani masalah selama

ini baik itu sembako ataupun apa belum

pernah Kalau anda dari pihak swasta atau

hamba-hamba Allah yang ingin berdonasi

[Musik]

ya ya

sedih juga sih kan Jogja kan karena kota

istimewa kan katanya Tapi kok malah

Banyak sampah gitu kan kayak

kontradiktif antara Kota Pendidikan dan

kok banyak sampah gitu kan masyarakatnya

tidak apa namanya tidak ware dengan itu

gitu kan tapi di sisi lain juga

kita juga mengelak bahwa ini ya memang

salah pengelolaan gitu ya dari

masyarakat dan pemerintah sebagai

pengelola

kalau dari pengamatan saya ya itu dari

rumah

itu memang kita dari

kecil itu tidak dibudayakan untuk

menjaga lingkungan terutama masyarakat

kota ya cenderung lebih tidak peduli

lingkungan karena mereka anggap

lingkungan tidak begitu pengaruh buat

dia gitu lain dengan masyarakat di desa

gitu ya kalau di kota kan semua sudah

ada yang mengelola gitu jadi cuma cukup

bayar retribusi selesai urusan gitu Tapi

ketika

tempat penampungan sampah penuh tutup

baru jadi masalah yang besar

untuk sekarang kayaknya tidak bisa ya

karena

tanpa sampah tuh nggak mungkin karena

kita juga tiap hari bab mohon maafkan

juga sampah jadi nggak bisa kita hidup

tanpa sampah sampah Anda cuma cara

mengolahnya saja yang harus

di apa ya di perhatikan gitu ya

[Musik]

jadi

lebih awal lagi lah mulai dari hal-hal

kecil gitu ya sampah itu mulai dibelah

di rumah di kos gitulah jadi jangan

meskipun kita belum bisa

apa yang melakukan aksi-aksi besar gitu

Tapi lewat aksi-aksi kecil yang dari

rumah tadi bisa mungkin membantu yang

lain untuk bisa sama-sama

berubahlah meningkatkan apa namanya

kami ya atas nama warga masyarakat

sekitar tpsting karena kami sebagai juru

bicara atau penyampai aspirasi keluarga

masyarakat Coba sebagai Ketua Komite

pemulung yang ada di tptkan ini kalau

sampai Ini masih digunakan sebagai

tempat pembuangan sampah mohon dikelola

dengan baik baik tempat pembuangannya

baik jalannya baik air limbah air

lidinya baik drainasenya baik keluar

warga masyarakat Mungkin suatu

pencapaian mempunyai aspirasi atau tidak

lanjutin dan perhatikan warga masyarakat

sekitar tpstik ini Itu semuanya supaya

nanti agak ke depan semuanya bisa ada

suatu kebersamaan dalam artian seiring

sejalan Senada seirama senasi saya

perjuangan dalam arti tidak ada yang

dirugikan itu sebagai penyewaan kami

atas nama masyarakat juga
