Abstract

The attraction of the world of tourism is not only because it is easy to reach and intensive
promotion. However, cleanliness is one of its attractiveness factors. Therefore, waste that is
not managed properly will have an impact on environmental pollution and affect the
cleanliness and comfort of tourist areas. Waste management systems in tourist areas are
needed to regulate the management of waste generated around tourist sites. This study aims
to: (1) analyze the attitudes and behavior of visitors to river and beach tourism objects in
South Kalimantan, (2) analyze the types of waste generated by business actors and visitors to
tourism in river and beach tourism areas in South Kalimantan, (3) and analyze the level of
participation of tourism business actors in waste management in river and coastal tourist
attraction areas in South Kalimantan. This study uses a qualitative approach with the
independent interview method. The research subjects are visitors and business actors of river
and beach tourism objects in South Kalimantan. The research locations are Hulu Sungai
Tengah Regency, Tanah Laut Regency, Tanah Bumbu Regency, and Kotabaru Regency.
Collecting data by means of observation, interviews and document studies. The types of
organic waste produced are in the form of food waste, raw material waste, paper, cardboard,
newspapers, etc. The types of inorganic waste produced are plastic bags, food packaging,
plastic and glass bottles, etc. Meanwhile, the types of B3 waste produced include iron,
aluminum, glass, medical waste, etc. The results showed that organic waste generated by
visitors and beach tourism managers was 14.91%, inorganic waste was 13.49%, and B3 waste
was 16.88%. Meanwhile, 18.18% organic natural waste, 20% inorganic waste, and 36.36%
B3 waste. Waste generated by business actors was found as much as 28.33% and organic
waste as much as 42.7%. For river tourism management waste found piles of organic waste as
much as 57.14% and inorganic waste as much as 44.62%. While organic natural waste was
found as much as 71.43%. The participation of business actors and managers of river and
coastal tourism objects reached 41.18%, participation in the implementation was 73.06% and
participation in benefit-taking was 100%. The low participation of business actors and
managers of coastal and river tourism objects is because they only listen and accept decisions
that have been set in meetings. Lack of knowledge about waste management causes them to
have not implemented a good waste management system. They agree that a clean business
environment is a special attraction and comfort for visitors.
