The technique of collecting data through participant observation, in-depth interviews, Focused Group Discussion (FGD) and study documents.

The results of the study explained that the description of coordination as a consequence of the principle of cooperation, inter-stakeholder commitment qualitatively still low which looks at the impression which the Chief sectoral ego related local government offices tend to abdicate responsibility and looking at waste as a problem domain Landscaping and Sanitation Department.
