<![CDATA[The misuse of child-friendly parks by street vendors in Cilegon City has prevented these spaces from functioning optimally as child-friendly facilities. Although the Cilegon City Government has Local Regulation No. 3 of 2024 and Mayor’s Regulation No. 16 of 2018 as legal bases for managing this issue, street vending in park areas continues, requiring further examination of policy implementation. This study aims to analyze the efforts of the Cilegon City Government to address the misuse of space by street vendors in child-friendly parks and identify supporting and inhibiting factors. This research employed a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation and analyzed using Van Meter and Van Horn’s policy implementation theory, covering policy standards and objectives, resources, implementing agencies, implementers’ attitudes, interorganizational communication, and the economic, social, and political environment. The findings show that the government has conducted public awareness, capacity building, supervision, enforcement, coordination, and relocation planning. However, implementation remains suboptimal because of weak coordination, limited resources, budgets, and infrastructure, inconsistent enforcement, vendors’ economic conditions, and indications of external influence. Strengthening coordination, resources, consistent enforcement, and appropriate relocation sites is therefore necessary.]]>
