Abstract:

In optimizing the role of government in enforcing environmental law, seen from the perspective of State Administrative Law, requires comprehensive efforts. The main challenges include limited resources, lack of coordination between institutions, and inconsistent policy implementation. Solutions include increasing environmental awareness, strengthening social supervision, and utilizing information technology to support environmental law enforcement. This study aims to explain that the government needs to have a competent and independent supervisory unit to oversee the implementation of environmental regulations. This supervision can be done through routine inspections, online monitoring, and receiving reports from the public. The research used a descriptive normative method with primary and secondary data sources. The ultimate goal is for the role of government and society to play an important role in enforcing environmental law. Community participation can be in the form of social supervision, reporting violations, and support for law enforcement efforts. The government needs to increase public awareness of the importance of environmental protection and the importance of compliance with environmental laws. This socialization can be done through various media, including social media, as well as schools and community activities.
