Abstract

The study of the handling of street children in Parepare City is intended to analyze and describe this problem in the perspective of Public Policy. The handling that has been carried out by the Parepare City government is still not optimal. So far, the handling of street children has only been limited to the services of orphanages and halfway houses for street children, which have not been maximized in overcoming this problem. The wandering of street children until now shows the need for the government to overcome these problems from the aspect of efforts that can be done, namely by making a policy to deal with the problem of street children. So far in the city of Parepare there has been no public policy specifically dealing with street children This research method is qualitative. Data collection techniques were carried out using observation, FGD, interview, and documentation techniques. The informants of this research are the Head of the Parepare City Social Service, Head of the Social Plan Division, Parepare City Social Service, 5 Street Children, 2 Social Workers, 3 Parents of Street Children. This research is expected to produce recommendations for handling street children in Parepare City. The problem of street children should be taken more seriously by creating a public policy, so that in the future the problem of street children can be overcome in the city of Pare-pare.
