Law enforcement against motorcycle riders as an effort to prevent noise pollution in Kalurahan
Caturtunggal, Kapanewon Depok, Sleman, Yogyakarta, is a critical issue given the negative
impacts of noise on public comfort and health. This study examines the implementation of Law
No. 22 of 2009 on Road Traffic and Transportation, as well as Governor Regulation of
Yogyakarta Special Region No. 40 of 2017, which regulates the noise standards for motor
vehicles. The findings indicate that law enforcement in this area remains suboptimal.
Challenges include a lack of noise measurement facilities, low public awareness regarding the
impacts of noise pollution, and inconsistent enforcement of regulations. Additionally, social
factors, such as the perception of racing exhaust systems as lifestyle symbols, pose significant
obstacles. This study recommends ongoing public education, enhanced supervision, and inter-
agency collaboration to create a more comfortable and healthy environment. Community
participation in reporting violations is also crucial to strengthening the effectiveness of law
enforcement.
