Abstract

Amidst the rapid urbanization of Jakarta, the adoption of Nature-based Solutions (NbS) such as composting offers a sustainable pathway for waste management and environmental rejuvenation. This research endeavors to discern the critical factors impacting the willingness of Jakarta's metropolitan population to participate in composting. This study identified key determinants through a comprehensive analysis, including the availability of composting facilities, expertise of trained cadres, adoption of advanced composting technologies, and routine field monitoring. Furthermore, demographic nuances, specifically marital status, and age, emerged as influential parameters. Singles and the younger age bracket (20 to 29 years) exhibited distinct attitudes towards composting, hinting at underlying generational and lifestyle-based disparities. These findings provide a foundation for tailoring policies and interventions that cater to Jakarta's unique urban fabric, promoting a more inclusive and influential composting culture. © 2024 Fitria et al.
