This article explores regulations and strategies for managing the impact of household waste pollution in the East River Flood Canal of Semarang City. Water, crucial for human and environmental well-being, faces pollution challenges due to human activities. The study focuses on Semarang, where household waste pollution, often discarded along riverbanks, poses environmental threats. Primary data is collected through field interviews, complemented by secondary legal materials using socio-legal research methods. Regional Regulation No. 6 of 2012 addresses waste management in Semarang, aiming to empower residents in waste utilization and economic value creation. Law Number 32 of 2009 emphasizes collaborative efforts to address environmental challenges. Identified impacts of waste pollution include air and water pollution, contributing to flooding. A SWOT analysis suggests strategies such as enhancing stakeholder support, advocating the vision and mission for integrated waste management, establishing communication forums, leveraging ward roles in community counselling, and enhancing resource capacity to shift public perceptions and behaviours in waste management. This research aims to contribute to sustainable waste management practices and environmental preservation.
