The existence of modern stores and legal protection for traders in the people's market in Badung regency, Bali

The influx of investment in the trade sector has given rise to large-scale economic power that can not only increase and encourage economic growth, but also cause negative impacts such as unhealthy business competition between traditional markets and modern stores. If this competition is left unchecked, it will result in the displacement of the existence of traditional markets as weaker economic actors. Therefore, the arrangement and guidance carried out through policies taken by the government must be seen from a synergistic perspective for both business actors. Based on the background of the problems that have been described above, several problems can be formulated as follows: 1) How is the implementation Badung Regency Regulation, Bali Number 3 of 2017 on business competition between modern shops and traditional markets? 2) How is the role of the Badung Regency government, Bali in providing legal protection for traditional markets from the rampant existence of modern shops? The type of research in writing this scientific paper is an empirical legal research type, which is used because there is a gap between what is regulated in the Law and its practice. The implementation of Badung Regency Regulation, Bali Number 3 of 2017 has not been effective because of the non-compliance of modern shops in fulfilling the completeness of the permits and not heeding the rules that have been set as well as the indecisiveness of law enforcement officers in providing a deterrent effect. Legal protection carried out by the Badung Regency Government, Bali is felt to be less than optimal because it is more directed at preventive legal protection, namely only in the form of prevention before violations occur, by providing guidance and socialization to traditional market and modern shop business actors.
