With the passage of time, the world's population continues to increase that align with the increasing need for resources, one of them is energy. In general, the use of energy in the world is still dominated by fossil-based energy or known as non-renewable energy. If there is no energy shifting, there will be some serious environmental problems and energy scarcity in the future. Indonesia has a national ene rgy target of 23% in 2025 and 31% in 2050 to use renewable energy. Currently, the percentage achieved is only 11.2% thus some various efforts are needed to achieve this target. In urban context, apart from increasing energy demand, population growth also has implications for an increase in the accumulation of waste in landfills. One of the cities experi encing this is the Bandung City which produces 1477 tons of waste every day. Most of the waste produced is organic waste, which is 930 tons or 63% of the waste generation. Bandung has made various efforts to reduce of organic waste, one of them is through a waste sorting program called KangPisMan (Kurangi Pisahkan Manfaatkan ). One area that has succeeded in implementing the waste sorting program is the Cihaurgeulis SubDistrict. As a solution to reduce waste and also to increase the percentage of renewable energy utilization, the use of biogas energy sourced from organic waste is quite promising in answering these problems. Biogas itself is one type of renewable energy that is closely related to community participation thus the community readiness is the main factor. Therefore, in this study, identification of community readiness in the use of new and renewable energy based on biogas will be carried out in Cihaurgeulis SubDistrict. This study uses two types of data collection, namely primary and secondary. Primary data collection was conducted by interviewing 17 key informants to obtain information and assess the readiness of the community in Cihaurgeulis Sub-District. In addition, interviews were also conducted with representatives of Cibangkong SubDistrict as a good practice precedent that was replicated for Cihaurgeulis Sub-District in terms of biogas utilization. Then, the secondary data consisted of several planning documents and a masterplan for waste management in Bandung City and Cihaurgeulis Sub-District. The analysis used is content analysis to identify community readiness variables, then scoring analysis to assess community readiness, and qualitative descriptive analysis to explain the existing conditions of each community readiness variable. The results showed that the value of community readiness in Cihaurgeulis Village was 15.52 and belong to preparation level. There are several variables of community readiness that have not yet optimal, such as community efforts, knowledge, community conditions, and program and policy support. Therefore, the next step to increase the readiness of the community of Cihaurgeulis Sub-District in the use of biogas is to conduct interventions and strategic plans for each of these variables.
