Abstract

The research is aimed at analyzing the communication of the policies of solid waste management in Manado, seen from the communication factors. First are the knowledge and understanding of the contents of the policies by the government, responses, and abilities to communicate, as well as the credibility of the government. Second is the clear and understandable content. The third is the use of appropriate media in delivering the messages. Fourth, people’s understanding, attitude, and community behavior on solid waste management are highly determining the success of the implementation of the policies in Manado. The research applies to qualitative methods. The data were collected through observation and in-depth interviews with 20 informants, which include government apparatuses and the community. The research found that governments have adequate knowledge, understanding policies, responses, communication ability, and credibility. However, the qualities are not supported by the availability of appropriate media in distributing the information. In addition, the messages delivered to the people have not been able to change the behavior of most of the people in Manado in terms of waste management.
