Implementation of the Street Vendor Regulation Policy in the Sungai Durian Market Area Sintang District

Abstract

The implementation of the policy for managing street vendors is regulated based on regional regulations regarding the determination of the regional spatial plan for Sintan City, the prohibition on building buildings on Wirapati Street, the Durian River terminal, Brigjen Katamso Street on the edge of the Kapuas River, and Colonel Sugiono Street; regarding fees for constructing buildings; and regarding the prohibition on selling outside of places such as sidewalks and sides of main roads in the Sintang District area. The policy for regulating street vendors, among other things, stipulates that every street vendor is required to have a location use permit and an identity card from the Regent or an appointed official, and every street vendor is prohibited from carrying out business activities in places outside the designated location. Based on data from the Office of Industry, Trade, Cooperatives and SMEs from 2014 to 2020, the number of street vendors recorded in Sintang District was 390 people, of which 290 people were in places that were not the designated locations and 100 people were in the locations that had been provided. The conclusion on the policy aspect can be said that at the implementation level, it was considered a failure because it did not receive support from street vendors. Then the implementor must have responsibility and commitment to implement the PKL structuring policy well in accordance with the policy achievement targets. Experience in structuring street vendors, whatever the bitterness in relation to economic growth, is a positive input to improve the ability to enforce legal order. The suggestions conveyed require coordination, availability of resources to support action in the field, equal treatment of target groups in structuring, and the need for a socialisation strategy for PKL structuring policies.
