The issue of street vendors (PKL) in Sidoarjo Regency, particularly in the Gading Fajar area, has become a significant concern as it relates to public order, the use of public space, and the economic dynamics of small communities. To address these challenges, the Sidoarjo Regency Government enacted Regional Regulation Number 3 of 2016 as the legal basis for structuring and empowering PKL. This study examines how the regulation is implemented in practice and evaluates its effectiveness using a qualitative descriptive method through interviews, observations, and documentation, analyzed with Leo Agustino’s policy evaluation model, which assesses five key aspects: administrative resources, institutional coordination, infrastructure and technology, financial support, and regulatory adequacy. The findings show that the implementation of the regulation has not yet reached optimal performance, as limited socialization, insufficient personnel, weak coordination among agencies, inadequate supporting facilities, and low compliance with zoning rules hinder the achievement of policy objectives. These issues are reflected in the continued presence of PKL operating in non-designated areas despite clear regulatory provisions. Therefore, strengthening institutional capacity, improving facilities, enhancing enforcement consistency, and developing more operational technical guidelines are essential to ensure more effective and sustainable management and empowerment of street vendors in Sidoarjo Regency.

The zoning system policy in the New Student Enrolment (PPDB) is an educational policy reform aimed at equalising access to services and improving the quality of education in Indonesia. This research analyses the implementation of the PPDB zoning system policy at the level of State Junior Secondary Schools using George C. Edward III's policy implementation theory approach, which covers four main variables: communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure. The research method employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive research type. Data collection techniques were conducted through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation study of the regulations implementing the zoning system policy. The findings show that the implementation of the PPDB zoning system policy has proceeded in accordance with the technical regulations of Permendikbud Number 01 of 2021 and Sidoarjo Regent Regulation Number 37 of 2020. The admission routes provided include the zoning route, achievement, affirmation, and parental transfer, which offer fair opportunities for all prospective students. Nevertheless, there are still obstacles in the execution, particularly related to the limited infrastructure for distance learning, public perception regarding the selection mechanism, and the disparity between the number of available places (quota) and the number of applicants for certain routes. This research recommends the need for more comprehensive socialisation, improvement of supporting infrastructure, and periodic evaluation of policy implementation to ensure the achievement of the goal of equitable and quality education.

This article explores the dynamics of implementing the New Student Admission (PPDB) policy, focusing on the zoning system. The study aims to analyze how this policy is carried out at the school level and the various challenges encountered during its implementation. Using a qualitative approach through observations, interviews, and document studies, the findings show that although the zoning system has succeeded in reducing the distance between students’ homes and schools, disparities in school quality remain unresolved. The affirmative pathway has not effectively reached its target groups due to limited outreach and lack of supporting facilities. Additionally, technical issues such as online system errors, address manipulation, and poor coordination between schools and education offices are significant obstacles in implementation. The study concludes that improving digital systems, enhancing human resource capacity, and actively involving communities are essential steps to ensure equitable access to and quality of education as envisioned by the policy.

Pasuruan City has an economic dynamic driven by the informal sector, especially street vendors (PKL), which play a crucial role in supporting the community's economy. One of the locations that is the center of street vendor activities is the Pasuruan City Square area. Despite its strategic value, the presence of street vendors in the area has caused problems related to order, cleanliness, and public space management. In response, the Pasuruan City Government has enacted Local Regulation No. 2/2013 on the Arrangement and Empowerment of Street Vendors. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the policy and identify factors that support and hinder its implementation. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach by referring to Van Meter and Van Horn's policy implementation theory, which includes six main indicators. Data collection techniques were conducted through interviews, observation, documentation, and literature study. The results show that policy implementation is quite effective, as seen from the addition of official locations, assistance with facilities such as carts, and entrepreneurship training. However, challenges remain, mainly related to limited human resources and low compliance of street vendors with zoning regulations.
