One of the things that drives the increase in urban population growth in Indonesia is urbanization and industrialization. This is triggered by the availability of infrastructure in urban areas which tend to be better than in rural areas. The development of such a complex city triggers the emergence of various urban problems, among others, irregular use of spatial planning, zoning of land allocation, the emergence of environmental pollution problems, to business-oriented development so that they do not care about the environment. This study uses a descriptive method with a qualitative approach and data triangulation analysis, the results of the study explain that The city of Bekasi, which is known as an urban area, also has an impact, such as an increase in the amount of waste, both from individuals, households, and other crowded places that have the potential to cause waste to become a source of environmental pollution. Collaboration between stakeholders in environmental management of the Bekasi River Outskirts begins with the mobilization of common principles, shared motivation and joint capacity building as an interaction component of the dynamics of collaboration and is continued by carrying out collaborative actions that form a collaborative governance model. Furthermore, the collaborative governance model approach to environmental management in the Bekasi River Outskirts that has been developed so far shows that it is part of the system context dimension in collaborative governance that begins and moves in multilayers, but has not run effectively; where the elements in question consist of (1) service conditions and resources, (2) legal and policy frameworks, (3) socio economic and cultural characteristics, (4) network characteristics, (5) political and power dynamics, and history conflict. This can be seen from the unfulfilled dimensions of the system context optimally mainly on the elements of service conditions and resources, namely the availability of inadequate and sufficient sources of funds for the management in question, second, on the elements of the legal and policy framework, namely the absence of a legal or regulatory framework that is administratively adequate and binding for all resources, so that the parties are limited to carrying out their roles according to their respective missions.
