The Relevance of Prohibition of Plastic Bags to Protect the City Park Sustainability in Jakarta with the Policies, Applications, and Sanctions

Abstract

This paper discusses prohibiting the use of plastic bags in DKI Jakarta to maintain the preservation of beautiful and fertile city parks. We will take a policy, enforcement, and sanctions perspective. We believe that the preservation of urban parks in Indonesia is closely related to the efforts of the variables above. To facilitate this discussion, we have had a preliminary reading, then collected several articles from international publications, then we examined them one by one to see how the plastic bag ban in these cities was intended. Furthermore, we also discuss the policy model, its application in the field, and the sanctions applied to the policy's success. We carry out the analysis process by understanding problems, analyzing data, analyzing in-depth, and drawing conclusions by ensuring that the data findings have answered the research questions validly and reliably. What we can summarize, among other things, that what was invited to be enacted in the regulation on the prohibition of using plastic bags in DKI Jakarta is still highly relevant to the implementation of the same thing in other places, as evidenced by the publications we have reviewed. Therefore, the outcomes have not been as expected because each party has limitations.
