LAW ENFORCEMENT IN DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES AROUND COASTAL AREAS OF KUPANG
Abstract: Coastal zone is a
crucial zone because it has a wealth of natural resources of high economic
value while at the same time is prone to adverse affects due to interference of
development activities. This research is an empirical legal research which
examines that there have been various local regulations with which management
of the zone must comply but within those regulations themselves there exist
contradictory articles. Furthermore, this research discovered that this was
caused by the drafting of local regulations do not consider to environmental
aspects in coastal zone, inaccuracy in the process of local regulations
drafting and the strong ego sector so that the Government issued building
license by law enforcement officials that deviate much from the existing
regulations. The incompliance of which was done for the sake of economic gain
without the least consideration about the environmental aspects and proper land
use whereas the development in coastal zone should have a strong regulatory
foundation and not based on interests of public authority and sheer power.
