The Effect Of Administrative Sanctions Enforcement On The Level Of Corporate Compliance In Waste Management In The West Java Industrial Estate

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of the enforcement of administrative sanctions on the level of company 

compliance in waste management in the West Java Industrial Estate. The problem of industrial waste 

management is still an important issue, considering that many companies have not fully complied with the 

provisions of environmental law. Administrative sanctions, which include written reprimands, government 

coercion, license freezes, and license revocation, are expected to be effective instruments to improve 

compliance. However, its effectiveness is still often questioned in practice. This study uses a quantitative 

approach with a cross-sectional design. Data was collected through questionnaires and interviews with 40 

companies in the Bekasi, Karawang, and Cikarang industrial estates. The analysis was performed using 

descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation tests, and simple linear regression with the help of SPSS software. 

The results showed a weak positive relationship between the implementation of administrative sanctions and 

the level of compliance (r = 0.115, p = 0.478), indicating that the relationship was not statistically significant. 

The regression analysis revealed that administrative sanctions explain only 1.3% of the variance in compliance 

(R² = 0.013), with a regression coefficient of 1.21 (p = 0.478). This indicates that administrative sanctions 

alone are not strong enough to encourage company compliance in waste management. Other factors, such as 

internal company commitments, economic incentives, and public oversight, are more dominant in influencing 

compliance. This study concludes that a combination of legal instruments, incentives, and community 

participation is needed to make environmental law enforcement more effective and able to support sustainable 

development in Indonesia.
