The definition of children is 0-18 years old citizen having special rights that regulated by international consensus and national regulations. One of these regulations is manifested by the Policy of Proper City for Children with Child-Friendly District Approach which have been implemented by many cities in Indonesia, including Semarang. It is a city development strategy that well-planned, sustainable, and systematically integrates the government’s commitment and sources, citizens, and business sector in fulfilling children’s rights activities. The purpose of this research is to analyze the implementation of Semarang City Major Rules No 20 in the year of 2010 about Proper City for Children with Child-Friendly District Approach and the success-failure aspects including resources, policy characteristic, and communication aspects. These aspects come from several policy implementation models by Van Meter and Van Horn, Merilee S. Grindle, Mazmanian and Sabatier, and also George C. Edward III. The result of this research indicates the implementation of Semarang City Major Rules No. 20/2010 about Proper City for Children with Child-Friendly District Approach has not been implemented as it should be (as it written on the regulation).
