Abstract

This study aims to analyze street vendor licensing as an instrument of social engineering in urban informal economy governance and to assess its effectiveness in supporting urban spatial order while protecting the right to a decent livelihood for informal economic actors. The research employed a normative legal research method using statutory, conceptual, and analytical approaches. Secondary data were collected from legal regulations, policy documents, court decisions, and recent scientific literature related to informal economy governance and urban spatial planning. The novelty of this research lies in its examination of street vendor licensing not merely as an administrative regulatory mechanism, but as a social engineering instrument capable of transforming the relationship between the state, urban space governance, and informal economic actors. Unlike previous studies that primarily focus on enforcement and public order dimensions, this study emphasizes the empowerment-oriented function of licensing within the framework of constitutional economic rights and inclusive urban governance. The results indicate that the Indonesian legal framework has normatively provided constitutional and juridical recognition for the protection and empowerment of street vendors. However, in practice, licensing policies are still predominantly implemented as instruments of administrative control and spatial discipline rather than mechanisms for economic integration and social protection. The study further finds that street vendor licensing can function effectively as an instrument of social engineering when implemented through participatory, transparent, inclusive, and empowerment-based approaches. Based on the research, it is concluded that a paradigm shift from control-oriented governance toward empowerment-oriented governance is essential to ensure that street vendor licensing contributes to orderly urban spatial planning and the fulfillment of the right to a decent livelihood.

Abstract

Land acquisition for road construction in Indonesia is a crucial aspect in supporting the acceleration of infrastructure development and national economic growth. However, in practice, the land acquisition process often faces various complex problems, both from a legal, social, economic, and institutional perspective. This study aims to identify and analyze various problems that arise in land acquisition for road construction in Indonesia, as well as evaluate the effectiveness of applicable regulations. The method used is a normative juridical approach with an analysis of laws and regulations, specifically Law Number 2 of 2012 concerning Land Acquisition for Development in the Public Interest, as well as literature studies from various scientific sources. The results of the study indicate that the main inhibiting factors faced by the government in land acquisition include disagreements in determining compensation, agrarian conflicts between the government and the community, weak coordination between agencies, and a lack of transparency in the land acquisition process. In addition, social impacts such as population relocation and loss of livelihoods are also important issues that require attention. Therefore, efforts are needed to improve policy implementation, increase public participation, and strengthen aspects of justice and legal certainty to minimize conflict and accelerate road infrastructure development in Indonesia.
