Abstract

Introduction to the Problem: Urban flooding in Palembang has emerged as a critical environmental and governance challenge, where inadequate waste management systems exacerbate hydrological risks and intensify disaster vulnerability.
Purpose/Study Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the legal effectiveness of waste governance in Palembang by analysing the interaction between regulatory frameworks, institutional enforcement, and community behaviour in addressing flood-related waste issues.
Novelty: The novelty of this research lies in integrating a socio-legal perspective that highlights enforcement gaps, institutional weaknesses, and cultural waste disposal practices, thereby positioning environmental law not only as a regulatory instrument but also as a tool for adaptive governance in disaster risk reduction.
Methodology: Employing a mixed-methods design, the study combines in-depth interviews with enforcement agencies and community leaders and a structured survey of 475 respondents across five sub-districts, analysed through Miles and Huberman’s interactive model.
Results/Findings: The findings reveal a significant gap between legal provisions and practical implementation, stemming from weak inter-agency coordination, limited infrastructure, insufficient enforcement personnel, and entrenched socio-cultural behaviours. While formal regulations exist, their operationalisation remains fragmented, underscoring the need for strengthened institutional capacity, consistent enforcement, and community engagement to reduce waste-related flooding in Palembang and similar urban contexts.
