In line with increase in the amount of population and with the growth of economy, there occurs an increase in the quantity of wastes and appearance of new types of wastes. It can pose some more complex environmental problems, if the capacity of community in treating the wastes does not develop. Therefore, a community-based waste treatment becomes an increasingly relevant, important treating method. <br /> <br /> <br /> Some measures of promoting capacity in treating wastes have been initiated by the community of Kampung Banjarsari, South Jakarta, as early as three decades ago. In the last decade, the results of the Banjarsari Village's community's efforts have been recognized by diverse parties, particularly in Province of Jakarta. The purpose of this research was to understand the developmental process of waste treatment in Banjarsari Village, and the impacts of this process. Especially, the research questions asked were: how the current condition of waste treatment in Banjarsari was; what were initiated in the initial stage, and how the developmental dynamic of the waste treatment was; how did internal and external institutional factors influence the development of waste treatment in Banjarsari; and how did the development of the waste treatment produce benefits and costs for Banjarsari's community. <br /> <br /> <br /> This research used qualitative method, particularly using ethnographic approach in analyzing data. The data collection was conducted by field observation and in-dept, semi-structured interviews with Banjarsari's figures and community, scavengers, and some relevant public officers. The description of the results of data analysis was conducted by preparing a segmentation of periods (chronological), categorization, and interpretation. <br /> <br /> <br /> From the whole results of analysis it could be concluded as follows: first, waste treatment Banjarsari's community conducted could be categorized as a community-based integrated waste treatment, because the initiative efforts and resources used in the waste treatment were originated at the Banjarsari's community itself. Moreover, Banjarsari's community succeeded in developing institutional elements, which became one of the important factors in supporting the activities of waste treatment. Women were the initiator and driving force in the development of waste treatment in Banjarsari. However, it was inseparable from the supports of households (including husbands), and the social norms the Banjarsari's community held. <br /> <br /> <br /> Second, the development of waste treatment in Banjarsari could be categorized into three periods: era of community's initiatives (before 1996); era of external intervention (1996-2002); era of network development and expansion (2002-currently). From the three periods, the era of community’s initiatives (before 1996) was of highest importance because it was during the stage a transformation in thought framework, behaviors, and societal values occurred. <br /> <br /> <br /> Third, those institutions that played a role in developing waste treatment in Banjarsari could be grouped into internal and external ones: KWT, PKK, Karang Taruna, Pos Yandu, Majelis Taklim, as internal institutions group, and UNESCO, Unilever, and Local Government as external institutions group. The internal institutions group was an important factor that form the character integrated in the waste treatment by Banjarsari's community. In other side, the role of external institutions was as facilitator in network expansion. <br /> <br /> <br /> Fourth, waste treatment in Banjarsari gave some benefits in form of environmental cleanness and reservation, improvement of local community prosperity, and the social interactions that supported local learning. However, there were some that might be social costs such as: the loss of other economic opportunities (besides of those related to waste treatment), widening of gap in prosperity, and isolation of Banjarsari community from its social environment because of their strong economic self-sufficiency. <br /> <br /> <br /> This research offered some recommendations to avoid the incurrence of social costs in the future, namely: (a) transfer of knowledge among Banjarsari's community and other communities around its surroundings; (b) development of partnership relation between Banjarsari's community and Local Government in environment treatment promotional activities; (c) establishment of cooperatives in Banjarsari's community to avoid widening of economic gap. <br />
