Evaluation of the Success of the Implementation of Policies on the Prohibition of Homeless and Beggars and the Practice of Prostitutes in the City of Medan for the Period of 2015 (Study of Regional Regulation of Medan City Number 6 of 2003)

Introduction

Medan City, as a metropolitan city that continues to develop, faces challenges in overcoming social problems such as homeless people, beggars, and prostitutes. The Medan City Government, through Regional Regulation (Perda) Number 6 of 2003, seeks to overcome the negative impact of this phenomenon. However, over time, questions about the success of the implementation of the regulation arose. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Perda Number 6 of 2003 in overcoming the problems of homeless people, beggars, and prostitutes in Medan.

Background

Medan City is one of the largest cities in Indonesia, with a population of over 2 million people. The city is known for its rapid economic growth, but it also faces significant social challenges, including homelessness, begging, and prostitution. These problems have a negative impact on the quality of life of citizens and the overall development of the city. In response to these challenges, the Medan City Government enacted Regional Regulation Number 6 of 2003, which aims to prohibit homeless people, beggars, and prostitutes from operating in the city.

Methodology

This study uses a descriptive method with a qualitative approach, involving interviews and direct observations of related stakeholders. Six evaluation indicators are used to assess the success of the implementation of the policy, including:

  • Effectiveness of policy implementation: This indicator assesses the extent to which the policy is implemented as intended.
  • Impact on homeless people, beggars, and prostitutes: This indicator assesses the impact of the policy on the target population.
  • Public awareness and support: This indicator assesses the level of public awareness and support for the policy.
  • Coordination and collaboration: This indicator assesses the level of coordination and collaboration between agencies involved in the implementation of the policy.
  • Supervision and law enforcement: This indicator assesses the level of supervision and law enforcement in implementing the policy.
  • Revision and adjustment: This indicator assesses the need for revision and adjustment of the policy to ensure its effectiveness.

Results

The results of this study showed that Perda Number 6 of 2003 was not fully successful in achieving its goals. There are various inhibiting factors, both internal and external, which causes the implementation of this regulation to be constrained. Internal factors include lack of resources and experts, coordination between agencies that are less effective, as well as weak supervision and law enforcement. External factors which are obstacles, including low public awareness, poor socioeconomic conditions, as well as the practice of illegal levies carried out by certain elements.

Discussion

The results of this study suggest that the implementation of Perda Number 6 of 2003 is constrained by various internal and external factors. These factors need to be addressed in order to ensure the effectiveness of the policy. Some recommendations that can be applied to increase the effectiveness of Perda Number 6 of 2003 include:

  • Increasing resources and experts: Medan City Government needs to provide adequate resources and increase the capacity of experts involved in the implementation of the Regional Regulation. This concerns training, adding personnel, and increasing relevant access to information.
  • Increasing coordination between agencies: Increasing coordination and collaboration between various related agencies, such as the Social Service, Satpol PP, Police, and Social Institutions of the community, it is very important to harmonize steps and create effective synergy.
  • Increasing supervision and law enforcement: Strict and consistent law enforcement and intensive supervision are needed to avoid violations of regulations and ensure the effectiveness of its implementation.
  • Increasing public awareness: The Medan City Government needs to develop intensive socialization and campaign programs to increase public awareness about the importance of complying with regulations and providing support for homeless, beggar, and prostitute prevention programs.
  • Community Empowerment: Medan City Government needs to empower the community to run social programs that aim to improve welfare and reduce poverty which is a major factor in the occurrence of homeless people, beggars, and practical practices.

Conclusion

Perda Number 6 of 2003 is a good first step in overcoming social problems in the city of Medan. However, the success of its implementation requires a strong commitment from all parties, especially the government and the community. By improving coordination, increasing supervision, and adjusting regulations with the times, it is hoped that this regulation can be an effective solution in creating a more orderly, safe and prosperous Medan city.
