Abstract

This study discusses the implementation of a policy that is claimed as one of local government roles dealing with issues of specific community in a small area in Indonesia. As one of problems related to social issues that affect the disruption of public order. PGOT; a psycho social phenomena with respect for addressing Beggars, Homelessness, Displaced People and Street Psychotics merits further investigation. However, there is no official statistics showing the numbers of homeless in the city are aware of their existence. Needless to mention, the reasons why they end up sleeping on the streets. Research method used in this study is descriptive analysis using a qualitative approach through direct observation, literature study and in-depth interviews with official employees or authorized institutions. The results show that the implementation of the policy towards PGOT is less optimal. Department of community police (Satpol PP) less provides ideal shelter or other related facilities. In addition, this is because of less support of financial and local budgeting from the government in terms of life skills coaching. The implementation of the local government policy also meets internal and external obstacles. In short, internal barriers comprise less of the human resources and budget, while external barrier involves level of community participation as the object of handling and most importantly, the role of family members. It is expected that the results in this study can be as a reference in determining the direction and implementation of a policy.
