Abstract

The Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) method of waste processing is focused on transforming garbage into a more environmentally sustainable replacement fuel. This caused Cilacap Regency to hosts an RDF Integrated Waste Processing Site (IWPS). The development of the Eco-Edu-Park further supported the RDF IWMS by improving the quality of environmental resources and making a positive contribution to the regional economic. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the circular economic value of the Eco-Edu-Park project at the Cilacap RDF IWPS. The adopted strategy comprised descriptive and quantitative analyses to ascertain economic value using the willingness to pay method. The results showed that the establishment of Eco-Edu-Park at RDF Cilacap garnered favorable support from all stakeholders, as the respondents expressed agreement and interest in visiting the park. The total potential income from the development process was projected to be IDR 5,504,235 for scenario 1, and this was based on the attraction’s carrying capacity. For scenario 2, approximately IDR 5,502,603,733 was realized annually, which reflected the respondents’ preferences for the diverse attractions. This study implied that integrating circular economic principles into educational tourism development tended to generate significant environmental benefits, while fostering public engagement in sustainable waste management.
