Analisis Dampak Sampah terhadap Kebersihan Lingkungan di Wisata Pantai Cemara Lombok Barat
AI summary Read the abstract
A study of Cemara Beach in Lombok, Indonesia found that trash—especially plastic—is piling up because people don't have easy access to bins, aren't taught about proper disposal, and rules aren't enforced. This matters beyond just an ugly beach: plastic waste that ends up in the ocean breaks down into microplastics that can enter the seafood we eat, while polluted beaches also hurt local economies that depend on tourism. The researchers suggest solutions like "Zero Plastic Tourism" programs and better waste facilities, showing that community involvement is key to fixing the problem.
This study examines the impact of waste on environmental cleanliness in the Cemara Beach tourism area, West Lombok. The research is motivated by the increasing volume of waste, particularly plastic waste, as a result of tourism activities, which threatens coastal ecosystems and sustainability. This study employs a qualitative descriptive approach, with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. Informants include local traders and visitors. The findings reveal that waste accumulation is primarily caused by low environmental awareness among the community and tourists, limited waste management infrastructure, and weak supervision and law enforcement. The impacts are both ecological and socio-economic, including decreased environmental quality, marine pollution, reduced tourism attractiveness, and lack of collective responsibility among stakeholders. The study emphasizes the need for collaborative and participatory waste management strategies involving government, local communities, and tourists. Programs such as “Zero Plastic Tourism,” improved waste facilities, and consistent environmental education are recommended to support sustainable tourism development and environmental preservation.

Characteristics of Beach Debris in Labuhan Haji District, East Lombok Regency, Indonesia
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers found that beaches in East Lombok, Indonesia are littered mostly with plastic waste, coming from sources like nearby farms, rivers, trash dumps, and tourist activity. This matters because plastic debris on beaches breaks down into microplastics over time, which can end up in seafood and drinking water, making its way into our bodies and raising concerns about long-term health effects that scientists are still studying.
Participatory Decision Making in Homestay Waste Management to Support Sustainable Tourism Development at Sakera Beach Bintan, Indonesia
AI summary Read the abstract
A study of homestays at Sakera Beach in Indonesia found that trash—including plastic—is often dumped together and poorly managed because owners, locals, and officials aren't coordinating on clear rules or systems. This matters because unmanaged plastic waste near coastlines can break down into microplastics that pollute water and seafood, eventually ending up in the food we eat, so the researchers propose a shared plan (sorting trash, composting, cutting single-use plastics, and educating tourists) to curb pollution at the source before it reaches the ocean.
