Abstract:
Environmental damage is not only caused by the lack of understanding of the environment as a result of low educational background, but it is often caused by many factors, especially about the fulfilment of life needs that are not based on wise knowledge, awareness, attitude and behavior about how to maintain and preserve environment due to greed, waste, and ignorance. Environmental issues, especially waste, are very easy to find in Indonesia. We often encounter rubbish strewn across the river, drainage, rice field, roadside, and other open areas, which are difficult to find in Japan especially in Kitakyushu City. This research was conducted for 6 months under qualitative case study approach, the location of this research was in Kitakyushu City of Japan and Bandung City Indonesia. The purpose of this research is to depict household waste management in Japan and Indonesia realized in the wisdom behavior by society in managing the waste. The research results show that the efforts made i
n building environmental wisdom in Kitakyushu Japan are realized by integrating "environment conservation" policy and "industry promotion" policy with the aim of building resource-recycling-based community. In fact, these efforts are conducted jointly between government, community and industry by optimizing the industrial infrastructures, as well as improving the community technology and knowledge capabilities. While in Indonesia, there are still non-synergistic policy issues, between regulations, facilities, environmental education and ineffective waste processing technology.
