Indonesia is an archipelago with many regencies or cities within it. A city that is awarded the Adipura Kencana award at the Adipura Awards is a source of pride and shows that the city is successful in environmental governance. 

Adipura is an instrument for monitoring the performance of district/city governments in organizing waste management and green open space in realizing a clean, shady, and sustainable environmental quality. We must be curious about what indicators are used to assess the Adipura Award.

So, this award is assessed from two indicators consisting of physical indicators and non-physical indicators. Physical indicators are assessed from the cleanliness and shade of the city. While non-physical indicators or urban environmental management include institutions, management, and responsiveness.

Adipura has four stages: planning, implementation, incentives or disincentives, and coaching. Districts or cities with the best performance in waste management and green open spaces will receive incentives in the form of Adipura awards. There are four forms of awards, namely:

  • Adipura Kencana award
  • Adipura award
  • Adipura Certificate
  • Adipura Plaque

The Adipura program is an effort to control greenhouse gas emissions from waste management. The more districts or cities in Indonesia that care about the environment, especially in waste management, the more greenhouse gas emissions arising from waste can also be reduced.
