Women, Power and Inclusive Collaboration: A Hybrid Governance Model for Sustainable Waste Management in Padang City

The problem of waste management in Padang City is not only seen from a purely technical aspect, but rather a substantive issue concerning the questions of who is involved and why, how is the process of involvement, and how are women involved. Women in waste management in Padang City are one of the main actors, especially being part of the waste bank, BSF maggot, and eco enzyme community. However, often the position of women in waste management is still not involved in the aspect of formal governance. This research aims to explain the involvement of women in waste management in Padang City from a collaborative aspect with a hybrid model and integrate the collaborative governance principles of Ansal and Gash with R. Mitchel from the aspects of power, legitimacy and urgency. This study uses a mixed-method approach, with an exploratory sequential design. The findings in this study show that women have a high urgency in waste management, but minimal in terms of power and legitimacy, this condition is coupled with the lack of city government support for women’s access in the process of formulating policies in waste management in the city of Padang that is more collaborative, inclusive, and gender-sensitive.
