ENFORCEMENT OF REGIONAL REGULATIONS AS IMPLEMENTATION OF “SATPOL PP” DUTIES

Introduction

Enforcement of regional regulations as implementation of “satpol pp” duties. Examine Pamekasan Satpol PP's role in enforcing regional regulations for street vendor control. Uncovers challenges in firm implementation due to officer compassion and public complaints.

Abstract

In solving the problem of controlling street vendors, they require them to look at the problem from various aspects, and not only from one aspect. In this context, the Head of the Pamekasan Satpol PP which is an institution that carries out security and order in the community must continue to take corrective steps in all aspects of its activities, in order to improve the performance of its apparatus, considering that there will be more protests and complaints from both road users and residents. from the street vendors themselves who sell on the roadside. Based on the results of the research that the author did in the field, it turns out that the conditions for controlling street vendors are not firm, so it can be concluded that the ideal control of street vendors is difficult to realize, because in reality there are still Satpol PP officers in Pamekasan Regency who control street vendors with compassion and not have the heart to deal with traders whose stalls/businesses must be forcibly dismantled when there is a security and order raid.

Review

This manuscript addresses a highly relevant and often complex issue concerning the enforcement of regional regulations, specifically focusing on the challenges faced by the "Satpol PP" (Public Order Agency) in controlling street vendors. The chosen case study of Pamekasan Satpol PP highlights a practical, real-world problem that many urban centers grapple with, making the topic pertinent for understanding local governance and public order. The abstract effectively conveys the central dilemma: the difficulty in achieving firm enforcement due to factors such as officer compassion and the resulting public complaints, which positions the research as an exploration into the nuances of regulatory implementation at the local level. However, the abstract, as presented, reveals several limitations that would need substantial elaboration in the full paper. The description of the research methodology is notably vague, simply stating "results of the research that the author did in the field." This lacks critical detail regarding the research design, data collection methods (e.g., interviews, observations, surveys, document analysis), and the analytical framework employed. Consequently, the strength and validity of the conclusion—that "the conditions for controlling street vendors are not firm" and "ideal control... is difficult to realize"—cannot be adequately assessed. Furthermore, while identifying officer compassion as a factor is an interesting observation, the abstract does not suggest a deeper analysis into *why* this compassion arises, its systemic implications, or alternative strategies to reconcile the need for enforcement with social considerations. To enhance the academic rigor and practical utility of this work, the full paper should explicitly outline its research questions, objectives, and a detailed methodology. It would greatly benefit from moving beyond a purely descriptive account to offer a more analytical perspective on the interplay between regulations, enforcement culture, socio-economic realities of street vendors, and public perception. Recommendations for future research or policy implications should be grounded in a robust analysis that considers a broader spectrum of factors beyond individual officer sentiment, such as resource constraints, legal ambiguities, political will, and community engagement. Addressing these points would transform the paper from a preliminary observation into a valuable contribution to the literature on urban governance and regulatory enforcement.
