ClearCoastal Community Perceptions of Waste Management as an Effort to Maintain Marine Sustainability in Tapanuli Tengah Regency, North Sumatera
Researchers assessed coastal community perceptions of waste management and marine sustainability in Central Tapanuli Regency, North Sumatra, using a mixed-methods survey of 100 respondents across three villages. Results showed an average agreement rate of 91.16% on the importance of waste management for marine sustainability, though practical waste utilisation capacity for income generation remained limited.
Ocean plastic crisis—Mental models of plastic pollution from remote Indonesian coastal communities
Remote coastal communities in Indonesia are overwhelmed by plastic pollution despite low plastic literacy, largely because rising living standards have increased single-use plastic consumption while geography and poor waste infrastructure leave communities with few disposal options. The study highlights the need for supply-side interventions and better waste management systems, not just consumer education.

This Indonesian study surveyed vocational school students' perceptions of plastic waste recycling and how recycling education influenced their attitudes and behaviors. Early education about plastic waste management is important for building the next generation of environmentally responsible consumers and policymakers.
When Plastics Dominate the Seas: a Study of the Threat to Coastal Community Development from Plastic Waste
This qualitative study investigated the ecological, health, and economic impacts of plastic pollution on coastal communities in the Riau Islands, Indonesia, focusing on effects on marine ecosystems and fishermen's livelihoods. Plastic waste was found to threaten fish stocks and fishing income, illustrating how marine plastic pollution directly undermines coastal community development.
Knowledge, Attitude, and Practices toward Plastic Pollution among Malaysians: Implications for Minimizing Plastic Use and Pollution
Researchers surveyed Malaysians about their knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding plastic pollution. The study found that while most people were aware of plastic pollution problems, there was a significant gap between awareness and actual behavior change. The findings suggest that education campaigns alone are insufficient and need to be paired with practical infrastructure and policy changes to reduce plastic use.
Construction of a plastic waste management policy model in the coastal city of Padang
Researchers evaluated plastic waste management policies in the coastal city of Padang, Indonesia, using descriptive interviews with stakeholders across relevant government agencies, finding that existing policies focus exclusively on land-based household waste and lack specific provisions for coastal plastic management. They found that the only applicable national regulation (Presidential Regulation No. 83 of 2018 on Marine Waste Management) has not been effectively implemented in coastal cities like Padang.
Characteristics of plastic waste and perceptions of coastal communities in the MLC Baluno mangrove ecotourism area, West Sulawesi, Indonesia
A survey of plastic waste characteristics and coastal community perceptions in a mangrove ecotourism area in West Sulawesi, Indonesia found widespread plastic pollution threatening both marine ecosystems and local livelihoods. Community awareness and disposal behaviors were also documented to inform management strategies.
Strategic action for waste management in Manado City to prevent marine debris input to Manado Bay: a preliminary study
Researchers conducted a preliminary assessment of waste management practices in Manado City, Indonesia, to identify strategic actions for preventing marine debris from entering Manado Bay. The study recommended both short-term mitigation and long-term management interventions to reduce the ecological, public health, and aesthetic impacts of marine debris in this coastal urban environment.
