The presence of illegal parking attendants at minimarkets in Surabaya remains a legal issue that creates legal uncertainty and potentially harms consumers using parking facilities. This condition reflects a gap between the provisions of Surabaya Regional Regulation Number 3 of 2018 concerning Parking Management and its implementation in practice. This study aims to analyze the legal framework governing the handling of illegal parking attendants under the Regional Regulation and to examine its implementation and enforcement challenges in minimarket parking areas. The research employed a qualitative method using a socio-legal approach. Primary data were collected through in-depth interviews with the Department of Transportation, the Municipal Public Order Agency (Satpol PP), minimarket managers, and community members, while secondary data were obtained from legislation and relevant literature. The findings indicate that the Regional Regulation provides an adequate legal basis for addressing illegal parking attendants. However, its implementation has not yet been fully effective due to limited inter-agency coordination, the suboptimal role of minimarket managers, low public legal awareness, and social and economic factors. Strengthening institutional coordination, improving supervision, and increasing public legal awareness are therefore necessary to enhance the effectiveness of parking law enforcement.
