ANALISIS YURIDIS PENEGAKAN PERDA PENGELOLAAN SAMPAH DI KABUPATEN PINRANG

Abstract

This study evaluates the sub-optimal enforcement of administrative fines under Pinrang Regency Regional Regulation Number 7 of 2013 concerning Waste Management. Employing an empirical legal method (socio-legal) with a descriptive-evaluative approach, this research dissects the root causes using Lawrence M. Friedman's Legal System Theory. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with key informants from the Environmental Services Office, field observations, and questionnaires administered to 100 residents in urban areas prone to illegal dumping, particularly in Watang Sawitto and Paleteang districts.

The findings reveal a systemic dysfunction across all three pillars of the legal system. In the substance aspect, a regulatory void exists due to the absence of implementing regulations detailing technical guidelines for sanction enforcement. In the structure aspect, law enforcement is hindered by a shortage of certified Civil Servant Investigators (PPNS), logistical constraints in transport fleets, and the underperformance of the Tiroang TPS 3R facility. The accumulation of these structural and substantive weaknesses has degraded the legal culture, fostering an atmosphere of public apathy and permissiveness toward environmental pollution. This study recommends reconstructing the law enforcement model from a criminal paradigm (ultimum remedium) to direct administrative sanctions (primum remedium). This transition should be supported by optimizing transport fleet routes using GIS Network Analysis technology and integrating Waste Banks with Land and Building Tax (PBB) reduction incentives.
