The issue of social justice in regulating private motor vehicle ownership in Indonesia
Abstract
This research analyses the concept of social justice in the regulation of private motor vehicles in Indonesia.The research gap lies in the lack of research regarding the impact of private vehicle ownership on traffic congestion and safety as well as how current regulations fail to provide social justice for the community.The research method employed is normative legal research, with a focus on regulations and legislation, alongside descriptive qualitative analysis of legal materials.The findings indicate that the private motor vehicle regulatory model needs to be revised to limit ownership rights, thereby achieving better social justice. This suggests that the freedom to own a vehicle should not compromise the community's right to safe and smooth driving.The justification for this research is based on the urgency of creating a sustainable and just transportation system as well as mitigating the negative impacts of the increasing number of private vehicles.This research brings novelty, which lies in the proposal for a stricter regulatory model regarding private motor vehicle ownership, to ensure the protection of community rights more effectively. The research makes an important contribution to the development of a more inclusive and equitable transportation policy in Indonesia.
