Solid waste management is an essential basic service that should reach entire population. But, in reality, there are still number of places those don’t get this service yet. The difference in targets and conditions of area and community makes it necessary to have different approaches in designing solid waste manageme all at once causing no harm to environment. Cianjur Regency, the second largest regency in West Java, consists of areas with various characteristics such as urban, peripheral, rural, and coastal. The locations of research were in six kedusunan, each is in separate subdistricts (kecamatan) within this Regency. Two kedusunan with peripheral characteristics located in Dusun Sudi, Desa Nagrak, Cianjur Subdistricts and Dusun I, Desa Sindanglaka, Karangtengah Subdistrict, two rural kedusunan in Dusun Cibodasgirang, Desa Campakamulya, Campakamulya Subdistrict and Dusun Sirnagalih, Desa Pagelaran, Pagelaran Subdistrict, and two coastal kedusunan in Dusun Sindangbarang, Desa Saganten, Sindangbarang Subdistrict and Dusun Kaum, Desa Cidamar, Cidaun Subdistrict. The objectives of this research were to get the description of existing condition and community preference relating to solid waste management; to identify the potentials from natural resources, human resources, and infrastructure within or around the research area to support solid waste management; to identify determinant factors those have correlation with community’s attitude toward solid waste management, and; to compare community’s preference in peripheral, rural, and coast area toward solid waste management. Here we used descriptive and comparative methods using primary and secondary data. Primary data was collected from observations, interviews, measurement of solid waste generation and composition, and questionnaires. Secondary data was gathered from relating offices. Frequencies and crosstabs method was also used to analyse questionnaire. From this research, we found that the most common problems were open burning and sewage disposal to water body. Besides, in rural and coastal area, there was no desa apparatus appointed to handle solid waste management. Peripheral area had benefits from its location near the district center and final disposal so it had more access to solid waste management socialization and to organize solid waste transport to final disposal site. Many people in rural area owned land for their own solid waste treatment site (37.9% in Cibodasgirang and 54.3% in Sirnagalih). Solid waste trade sectors had reached research area. Respondents in peripheral area preferred to spend some money for solid waste collection by employee (52.2%) while in rural and coastal area preferred to separate their own waste, composted their organic solid waste and sold the ‘valuable’ ones (40.9% in rural and 29.3% in coastal). Garbage bank was the most expected facility in peripheral (42.6%) and rural (41.9%) while in coastal, TPS was the most voted (41.3%). Generally, most respondents preferred communal solid waste management: 72.3% in peripheral, 59.1% in rural, and 58.7% in coastal. Individual management was mostly voted in rural by 23.7% respondents and the lowest in peripheral (6.4%), Compost hole was the most preferred technology in three kinds of researched area, but in coastal, the rejection rate was higher than composter. The highest percentage respondents who chose to contribute in the form of money was in peripheral and the lowest in coastal. Contribution in the form of solid waste separation and composting was mostly voted in rural and least in peripheral. Factors those influenced people’s preference in solid waste management form was education level, income, and land ownership. Rejection rate and preference of certain organic solid waste treatment were influenced by land ownership, organisation attendance, and education level.
