<![CDATA[This study analyzes the implementation of Blitar City Regional Regulation Number 1 of 2017 concerning Public Order and Peace and the factors influencing its enforcement effectiveness. The study employed an empirical juridical method with a qualitative approach. Primary data were obtained through interviews with Civil Service Police Unit (Satpol PP) officers, the public, and informal business actors, as well as through observation; secondary data were obtained from laws and regulations, government documents, and scientific literature. The results indicate that enforcement of the Regional Regulation has been carried out through patrols, warnings, enforcement, socialization, and guidance. However, violations continue to recur, particularly related to the use of public space by street vendors and illegal parking. The main obstacles include limited apparatus resources, inadequate supporting facilities, low understanding and awareness of the law, and conflicts between demands for order and the economic needs of informal business actors. Analysis using the theory of law enforcement effectiveness and legal system theory indicates that the most decisive issue lies in the interaction between the enforcement structure, regulatory substance, and the legal culture of the community. These findings are also relevant to the regulatory evaluation process in Blitar City that continues with the drafting of a new Regional Regulation. The study recommends strengthening outreach and the capacity of Public Order Agency (Satpol PP), providing alternative business and parking locations, cross-regional coordination, and consistent, proportional, and participatory enforcement.]]>
