Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: This study will be implemented in 12 purposively selected villages in East Java Province, Indonesia, comprising six intervention villages in Malang District and six control villages in Banyuwangi District. The selection of villages was guided by a set of criteria to ensure comparability and reduce contamination between arms. These criteria include rural classification, similar levels of population density, predominant employment types (e.g., agriculture or home industry), lowland geographical characteristics, and existing waste management infrastructure such as operational waste banks or waste bank cells. In this cluster-based quasi-experimental trial, villages serve as the clusters that were allocated to intervention or control, while households within these villages will serve as the units of analysis.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: No exclusion criteria is applied in this study. Household that is not consented to participate in this study will not be included in the study.
