The issue of illegal parking in the Pasar Jambi area remains unresolved despite various enforcement efforts carried out by the Jambi City Transportation Agency. Non-compliant parking practices, such as the presence of unauthorized parking attendants, the imposition of fees beyond official rates, and the lack of use of official attributes, indicate a discrepancy between established standards and actual field conditions. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the Transportation Agency’s supervision in controlling illegal parking in the Pasar Jambi area by applying George R. Terry’s supervision theory indicators. The research employs a qualitative method with a case study approach, using data collection techniques including observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings reveal that supervision has been implemented through stages of setting standards, measuring performance, comparing implementation with standards, and taking corrective actions. However, the effectiveness of supervision is still not optimal. This is reflected in the persistent gap between standards and practices in the field, the limited number of supervisory personnel, and corrective actions that have not been consistently effective in creating a deterrent effect. Although enforcement has been carried out progressively through warnings, guidance, and direct actions, violations continue to occur repeatedly. The implications of this study highlight the need to strengthen consistency in supervision, enforce stricter sanctions, and enhance resource capacity so that supervision is not merely administrative but can create sustainable parking order.
