Abstract

This study examines the implementation of Regional Regulation Number 10 of 2014 on Public Order and Community Tranquility, with a focus on the transformation of enforcement strategies from a repressive to a persuasive approach. The objective of this research is to analyze the effectiveness of a persuasive (non-compulsory) approach in regulating street vendors (PKL) in Dapu-dapura Village, Kendari City, using operational indicators such as the level of vendor resistance, patterns of communication between authorities and vendors, and forms of compliance demonstrated during the enforcement process. This study employs a qualitative approach, with data collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. Informants include government officials, street vendors, and local community members selected purposively. Data analysis follows the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, consisting of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that the persuasive approach—implemented through socialization, guidance, and dialogic communication—has led to a decrease in vendor resistance, increased communicative interaction between authorities and vendors, and the emergence of voluntary compliance, such as the dismantling of stalls without the use of physical coercion. However, the effectiveness of this approach remains constrained by structural factors, particularly the economic conditions of vendors and the limited availability of relocation facilities. This study concludes that the persuasive approach is more effective than the repressive approach in fostering compliance based on awareness. Nevertheless, its success largely depends on the integration of socio-economic policies that accommodate the sustainability of street vendors’ livelihoods
