ENFORCEMENT OF CRIMINAL SANCTIONS AGAINST STREET VENDORS (PKL) USING PUBLIC FACILITIES IN THE PERSPECTIVE OF URBAN SPATIAL PLANNING

Abstract

This research examines in depth the regulation, law enforcement, and implications of the enforcement of criminal sanctions against street vendors (PKL) who use public facilities to sell, with a focus on the review of urban spatial planning. The method used is a literature study with a qualitative approach, reviewing laws, local regulations, as well as judicial practices and recent research results. The findings show that criminal sanctions play an important role in maintaining spatial order, but the success of enforcement is strongly influenced by regulatory synergy, supervision models, and empowerment of small business actors. Positive implications include improving the quality of public space, while negative effects can arise if law enforcement is not accompanied by relocation and empowerment solutions. Harmonization between criminal law enforcement and spatial policy is needed to create an orderly, fair and sustainable city.
