The purpose of this study was to determine the strategies of the Public Order Agency (Satpol PP) and the obstacles encountered in controlling street vendors in Polewali Mandar Regency, Wonomulyo District. The research method used was qualitative, providing an overview using objective data obtained from the field. Data collection techniques included observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of this study are where the Civil Service Police Unit's strategy in controlling street vendors in Polewali Mandar, Wonomulyo District, runs smoothly where some street vendors have been relocated to Wonomulyo Central Market. The control strategy is carried out in two ways, namely the control strategy and the socialization strategy, the control strategy is carried out by means of preventive action, repressive action, and action after the street vendors are relocated, and the socialization strategy is still lacking by the Satpol PP due to the lack of coordination between the Satpol PP and the DPP of Polewali Mandar Regency. The obstacles experienced by the Satpol PP in controlling street vendors from an internal perspective are the lack of Satpol PP personnel and inventory, from an external perspective, namely the lack of broad understanding of Wonomulyo District PKLs which makes it difficult for the Satpol PP to provide explanations regarding the applicable Regional Regulations.
