Analysis of the Impact of Perda Implementation Number 2 of 2014 on the Development of Prostitution in Jambi City

Articles from the results of this study describe the impact of the application of Regional Regulation No. 2 of 2014 concerning the eradication of prostitution in the city of Jambi, the implementation of the regulation directly closes the places of prostitution (Payo Segandung and Langit Biru) in the city of Jambi. By using a qualitative descriptive research design, this study illustrates the positive impact and negative impact of the enactment of local regulations by closing the place of prostitution in the city of Jambi. The positive impact of the enactment of regional regulations can be seen from the increasingly reduced intensity of prostitution practices in the city of Jambi and the increasingly strong identity of the city of Jambi as a Malay land that closely cultivates eastern cultures and customs. However, the negative impact is also felt by the health service which previously could control the spread of HIV-AIDS contagion before the closure of the localization in the city of Jambi, then the economic impact was also felt by the people who depend on living in the place of localization.
