Tinjauan Hukum Administrasi Negara Terhadap Efektivitas Pemungutan Retribusi Sampah Berdasarkan Perda Bangkalan No. 1 Tahun 2024

Fitron, Dimas Fian Wahyu Mahardika
Abstract: AbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan mengkaji efektivitas pemungutan retribusi pelayanan persampahan di Kabupaten Bangkalan pasca berlakunya Peraturan Daerah Kabupaten Bangkalan Nomor 1 Tahun 2024 tentang Pajak Daerah dan Retribusi&#8230; ribusi Daerah. Melalui pendekatan Hukum Administrasi Negara, kajian ini membedah keabsahan wewenang, instrumen yuridis, dan hambatan operasional Dinas Lingkungan Hidup Kabupaten Bangkalan. Analisis dilakukan dengan menerapkan teori kewenangan Philipus M. Hadjon, teori instrumen pemerintahan Ridwan HR, serta teori efektivitas hukum Soerjono Soekanto. Hasil penelitian mengungkapkan bahwa rencana penerapan retribusi sampah bagi dapur Program Makan Bergizi Gratis sebesar dua ratus ribu rupiah per bulan berdasarkan Peraturan Daerah Nomor 3 Tahun 2024 dan Peraturan Bupati Nomor 9 Tahun 2025 belum berjalan efektif. Tingkat kepatuhan wajib retribusi sangat rendah karena hanya sekitar dua puluh pelaksana yang melakukan pembayaran. Penyebab utama meliputi ketidakjelasan skema pelayanan akibat tarif yang tidak mencakup biaya pengangkutan sampah, kelumpuhan infrastruktur di Tempat Pemrosesan Akhir Buluh, dan lemahnya penegakan sanksi administratif oleh aparat pemungut. Situasi ini memicu tindakan kedinasan non-prosedural serta konflik sosial-ekologis dengan masyarakat desa setempat. Guna menyelesaikan permasalahan tersebut, diperlukan klarifikasi skema pelayanan yang mencakup seluruh komponen biaya, rehabilitasi infrastruktur pemrosesan sampah, serta penguatan penegakan sanksi administratif untuk meningkatkan kepatuhan dan efektivitas pemungutan retribusi. Kata Kunci: Hukum Administrasi Negara; Retribusi Sampah; Efektivitas Hukum; Kabupaten Bangkalan. AbstractThis study aims to examine the effectiveness of waste service retribution collection in Bangkalan Regency following the enactment of Bangkalan Regency Regional Regulation Number 1 of 2024 concerning Regional Taxes and Retributions. Using an Administrative Law approach, this research analyzes the legitimacy of authority, juridical instruments, and operational obstacles faced by the Environmental Agency of Bangkalan Regency. The analysis applies Philipus M. Hadjon’s theory of authority, Ridwan HR’s theory of government instruments, and Soerjono Soekanto’s theory of legal effectiveness. The findings reveal that the planned implementation of a waste retribution fee of two hundred thousand rupiah per month for kitchens under the Free Nutritious Meals Program (Program Makan Bergizi Gratis), based on Regional Regulation Number 3 of 2024 and Regent Regulation Number 9 of 2025, has not been effective. The level of compliance among retribution payers remains very low, with only approximately twenty operators making payments. The main causes include unclear service schemes due to tariffs that do not cover waste transportation costs, the dysfunction of infrastructure at the Buluh Final Processing Site (Tempat Pemrosesan Akhir Buluh), and weak enforcement of administrative sanctions by collection officers. This situation has triggered non-procedural administrative actions and socio-ecological conflicts with local village communities. To address these issues, it is necessary to clarify the service scheme to include all cost components, rehabilitate waste processing infrastructure, and strengthen the enforcement of administrative sanctions in order to improve compliance and the overall effectiveness of retribution collection. Keywords: Administrative Law; Waste Retribution; Legal Effectiveness; Bangkalan Regency.

Siregar, Dosta Ernauli, Purba, Lasvina Br., Chyntia, Jesica Dhea, Fauzi, KMS Muhammad Amin
Abstract: This study aims to identify the dominant error patterns of students in geometry learning based on Newman's Error Analysis (NEA) and to examine their implications for readiness to understand Non-Euclidean Geometry. The method&#8230; thod employed is a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) of 10 empirical articles published between 2019 and 2026. Data were extracted based on the five stages of NEA — reading, comprehension, transformation, process skill, and encoding — and subsequently analyzed through narrative synthesis, percentage comparison, and descriptive effect size. The results indicate that comprehension errors and encoding errors are the most dominant categories, with the highest percentages of 56.92% and 50%, respectively, followed by transformation errors, which consistently fall within a moderate effect range (20–40%), while reading errors and process skill errors are classified as low. The primary causes of errors include weak understanding of geometric concepts, inability in spatial visualization, limited mathematical language, and lack of procedural precision. The findings contribute as a diagnostic foundation for designing more effective geometry learning, while simultaneously serving as a conceptual bridge toward higher-level geometry
