Implementation Of Local Regulation No. 11/2012 On Road And River Boundary Lines Regarding The Effectiveness Of Sanctions

This study examines the application of Regional Regulation No. 11/2012 on road and river boundary lines and evaluates the effectiveness of its sanctions in Cirebon Regency, Indonesia. The issue of illegal buildings violating road and river borders remains prevalent, mainly along Jalan Pilang. This research analyzes how effectively the regulation and its sanctions are implemented to curb these violations. The study employs an empirical juridical approach, using primary and secondary data from field research, document reviews, and interviews. The findings reveal that enforcing sanctions under Regional Regulation No. 11/2012 could be more effective, with numerous illegal structures still encroaching on regulated boundaries. Although supported by legal provisions, the local Government's enforcement efforts face challenges due to community non-compliance and insufficient enforcement mechanisms. The results highlight the need for more vigorous regulatory enforcement and public awareness to uphold spatial planning laws. This study contributes to understanding the complexities of spatial regulations and provides recommendations for enhancing legal compliance in local governance.
