Abstract

Yogyakarta is a city that is currently also facing a complicated problem related to waste management. Waste management in Yogyakarta still relies on Integrated Waste Disposal Sites (TPST). There are around 454 scavengers who are members of the community. The existence of a scavenger community in the middle of a mountain of garbage certainly has the potential to cause new problems, especially in terms of health. The purpose of this study is to analyze and describe the communication practices of the scavenger community group Mardiko TPST Piyungan in an effort to campaign for clean and healthy behavior. This type of research is qualitative research using a descriptive approach. The method used in this study is the ethnographic approach to communication by observing the communication activities of the subjects studied. Data collection methods used in this study are interview techniques. Apart from interviews, this research also uses the observation method. The results showed that cohesiveness was an important social capital in the communication practices of the Mardiko group in an effort to campaign for clean and healthy living behaviors.
