Abstract

Slum settlements cause a decline in the quality of the living environment which endangers the health of the surrounding community. Article 4 paragraph (4) of the Bekasi City Regional Regulation Number 11 of 2022 states that if the results of supervision and control show a non-conformity with the standards of decent housing, the City Regional Government will make handling efforts according to its authority. The aim of the research is to find out how the Bekasi City Government implements its authority in rejuvenating slum settlements around the Bantargebang TPST based on Bekasi City Regional Regulation Number 11 of 2022 and its obstacles. The research method uses empirical juridical methods. The data source is primary data supported by secondary data. Data collection techniques using interviews and related documents. Data was obtained and analyzed descriptively using a qualitative approach method. The results of the research show that the Bekasi City Government carries out the authority to rejuvenate slum settlements by giving a mandate to the Bekasi City Department of Housing, Settlement Areas and Land (DISPERKIMTAN) through special regulations in Article 8 paragraph (1) of Bekasi Mayor Regulation Number 127 of 2021. Rejuvenation of slum settlements is carried out through the Uninhabitable Houses (RUTILAHU) and Slum Free Cities (KOTAKU) programs. The author concludes that there are three obstacles to implementing the authority to rejuvenate slum settlements, namely: (1) budget limitations, (2) the large number of illegal slum settlements, and (3) the Bekasi Mayor's decree regarding the changing size of slum settlements.
