Abstract

E-sisa (sisa elektrik dan elektronik) merupakan kebimbangan alam sekitar yang ketara, pada masa kini dan pada masa hadapan, kerana ia adalah sisa pepejal yang paling banyak dihasilkan di seluruh dunia. Malangnya, hanya sebahagian kecil daripada e-sisae yang dihasilkan (17%) secara rasmi dikutip dan dikitar semula. Ini membimbangkan kerana kebanyakan peralatan elektronik mengandungi bahan toksik, seperti plumbum dan merkuri, yang boleh menjadi sangat berbahaya jika dilepaskan ke alam sekitar. Untuk menangani isu ini, adalah penting untuk melibatkan semua pihak berkepentingan dalam program kitar semula e-sisa. Setiap pemegang taruh mempunyai peranan penting dalam memastikan program ini berkesan. Satu kajian telah dijalankan di bandar Kota Kinabalu untuk mengenal pasti peranan dan isu yang dihadapi oleh pihak berkepentingan dalam aktiviti kitar semula e- waste. Penyelidikan ini melibatkan wakil daripada penduduk, agensi kerajaan, NGO dan entiti swasta. Data dikumpul menggunakan borang panduan temu bual, dan hasilnya dikategorikan kepada dua tema: peranan dan isu yang dihadapi oleh setiap pemegang kepentingan. Rangka kerja konseptual ekologi telah digunakan untuk mengenal pasti perkaitan antara semua pihak berkepentingan yang terlibat dalam isu kitar semula e-sisa. Secara umumnya, kejayaan program kitar semula e-sisa bergantung terutamanya kepada penglibatan semua pemegeang taruh. Walau bagaimanapun, terdapat beberapa halangan untuk penglibatan tersebut, termasuk peraturan yang tidak jelas untuk entiti swasta oleh pihak agensi kerajaan, kekurangan infrastruktur untuk penduduk, dan ketidakkonsistenan program oleh pihak NGO. Oleh itu, adalah penting untuk menangani penemuan penyelidikan ini bagi memastikan kemajuan dalam program kitar semula e-sisa. Isu-isu yang dikenal pasti dalam kajian mesti diselesaikan, kerana ia mempunyai kesan yang besar terhadap kejayaan program.

E-waste (electrical and electronic waste) is a significant environmental concern, both now and in the future, as it is the most solid waste generated globally. Unfortunately, only a small percentage of the e-waste produced (17%) is officially collected and recycled. This is alarming because most electronic equipment contains toxic substances, such as lead and mercury, which can be very dangerous if released into the environment. To address this issue, it is essential to involve all stakeholders in the e- waste recycling program. Each stakeholder has a crucial role in ensuring that the program is effective. A study was conducted in the city of Kota Kinabalu to identify the role and issues faced by stakeholders in e-waste recycling activities. The research involved representatives from the resident, government agencies, NGOs, and private entities. The data was collected using an interview guide form, and the results were categorized into two themes: the role and issues faced by each stakeholder. An ecological conceptual framework was used to identify the interrelationships between all stakeholders involved in the e-waste recycling issue. In general, the success of the e-waste recycling program depends mainly on the involvement of all stakeholders. However, there are several obstacles to such involvement, including unclear regulations for private entities and government agencies, a lack of infrastructure for residents, and the inconsistency of programs for NGOs. Therefore, it is essential to address the findings of this research to ensure progress in the e-waste recycling program. The issues identified in the study must be resolved, as they have a significant impact on the program's success.
