Abstract

Economic development, industrialization and increasing population, especially in Tokyo, gave rise to waste problems in Japan in the 1950s. As a solution to this problem, the Japanese government implemented solid waste management practices, including 3R promotion, separate collection, waste incinerator facilities in urban areas, high efficiency energy recovery, incinerator ash recycling, and final disposal. This article aims to determine whether the proposed solutions have unpredictable consequences and how some elements of society react to them. This work uses a quantitative approach with the application of Q-Methodology. The findings of the problem show that there are four types of people and core beliefs, namely: (a) Super authoritarian core beliefs shown by scientists who support the government, (b) Egalitarian core beliefs with extreme views in civil society, (c) Central beliefs that are relatively egalitarian , demonstrated by civil society that agrees with the government, (d) The authoritarian core individualistic values are reflected in private companies working for the government.
