INTRODUCTION
The Regional Government of DKI Jakarta on October 27, 2017, refused to extend the business license for Hotel Alexis and Griya Massage Alexis due to their involvement in prostitution This process was followed by the sealing of the establishment on March 28, 2018.
This policy led to conflicts in the form of both support and opposition from various societal elements, including interest groups and political factions within the DKI Jakarta DPRD (Buwono et al.
, 2024.
Dewantary et al.
, 2023.
Mahardika et al.

The discourse surrounding the closure of Alexis, initiated by the Anies-Sandi pair during the 2017 Jakarta Pilkada campaign, was one of their key campaign promises.
Upon their election, the Anies-Sandi pair fulfilled this promise by closing Alexis (Guridno & Guridno, 2.

In the initial findings, several points were observed: .
the policy aimed to fulfill campaign promises and enforce regional regulations.
the policy triggered support and opposition from interest groups such as the Jakarta Entertainment Entrepreneurs Association (Aspija.
Asosiasi Pengusaha Hiburan Jakart.
and the Indonesian Hotel and Restaurant Association (PHRI.
Perhimpunan Hotel dan Restoran Indonesi.
Jakarta, which opposed the closure, and the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI.
Front Pembela Isla.
Jakarta and the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI.
Majelis Ulama Indonesi.
Jakarta, which supported it.
the reasons behind these positions were based on economic motives (Aspija and PHRI) and moral concerns (FPI and MUI).
political factions within the DPRD DKI Jakarta were divided, with some supporting the governmentAos policy and others opposing it.
these divisions represented political conflict in the form of disagreement between political factions regarding public interest.
the political conflict appeared to be influenced by both political interests and the desire to either reinforce or delegitimize the power of the regional government.
This research explores the following questions: .
What were the considerations of the DKI Jakarta Regional Government in implementing the policy to close the Alexis Hotel and its prostitution business? .
What were the responses of interest groups and political factions of the DPRD to the policies of the DKI Jakarta Regional Government? .
Why was there political conflict between the opposition factions of the DKI Jakarta Regional Government in DPRD and the Regional Government of DKI Jakarta? .
What were the impacts of the DKI Jakarta Regional GovernmentAos policy to close the Alexis Hotel business after the political conflict? METHOD The method used in this research is a case study method with a qualitative approach.
qualitative research approach is research that uses a natural approach to understand the phenomena studied in the context of a specific setting (Creswell & Poth, 2.
Qualitative referring to meanings, concepts, definitions, characteristics, metaphors, symbols and descriptions of something, as well as an attempt to build interpretations, emphasizes the behavior of the object under study, and is characterized by the meaning of researchers in investigating cases in the form of certain phenomena in their natural environment (Hillebrand & Berg, 2.
Informants were selected purposively based on their direct involvement in the policy process, political factions, and interest groups related to the Alexis closure case.
Informants included representatives from the DKI Jakarta Regional Government, members of DPRD DKI Jakarta from supporting and opposition factions (PKS.

, the data sources used to capture them, and the coding/analytic procedure applied to categorize these forms.
The political aspect of public policy is the direction and political will that contribute to policy making.
The policies taken by the government in formulating and implementing public policies are also loaded with political preferences that participate in influencing and giving direction to the public policies that are made (Kurhayadi, 2.
Political decisions that arise from it are essentially the determination of the conflict of interest between each political actor.
Usually, it is the minority interests that are defeated by the new political policies.
Political conflict is a social conflict that has ties to the state/government, political officials/government officials, and government policies, with regard to public, national interests, or values related to politics, as well as those concerning public issues.
Forms of political conflict can be: political contestation, political opposition, disagreement, debate, disputes, also differences of opinion.
[Note: Relocate this conceptual paragraph to the Theoretical Framework section.
the Methods, operationalize PfetschAos parameters by defining observable indicators for each: .

external pressures/support Ie identified from interest group statements and media.
party interests Ie derived from party platforms and interview responses.
political opposition Ie coded from official objections and legislative debates.
Justify the classification of external actors as Auinterest groupsAy by specifying the criteria used for this categorization.
In relation to policy politics, the parameters for making policies are as follows.
From the internal aspect, internal pressure in the political system, internal constraints or support.
From the external aspect, pressure, challenges and support from outside the political system in the case raised by Pfetsch .
, the international community.
These supports and challenges in this research are identified as interest groups.
The third aspect is to consider the perception of his party's interests, and see the political opposition that will confront him.
Three sources of conflict in RaufAos view are as follows.
From the structural dimension of the relationship between the ruler and those who are controlled, when the ruler exercises his power it is considered arbitrary.
The struggle for positions of power: each party to the conflict tries to fight over certain limited political positions.
This position is highly valued in the eyes of those who fight for it.
The principle of pleasure: political power can enable people who hold it to achieve high pleasure and keep away from pain and discomfort.
In this study, parties outside the political system in the form of interest groups participate in playing their political roles.
Each group plays this role to convey his political will to the political system, in the form of political parties.
An interest group is a group of individuals or institutions who join a group based on common interests, organize themselves in achieving goals to influence political output carried out by the government, and membership is voluntary (Bond et al.
, 2021.
Grigsby, 2012.
Love, 2.
In terms of their goals, between pragmatic and idealistic, interest groups can be divided into two forms: the protective type which defends the material interests of its members, and the promotional type which fights for its ideas for the benefit of the general public (Heath, 2.
One of the ways political parties are formed is as part of an effort to integrate the various interests present in society, one of which may conflict with another another (Anggono, 2020.
Najib, 2.
This effort is then fought for in the process of making and implementing political In that role, political parties act through interest aggregation and interest articulation.

so that it is considered and formulated into political policy.
Groups convey their political will to political parties through certain channels.
This is in the form of: .

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Results Campaign promise In the 2017 DKI Jakarta Pilkada, the Anies-Sandi pair raised the issue of prostitution at Alexis as one of their campaign promises.
In the reign of Basuki Tjahaja.
Purnama Alexis seemed left alone.
Basuki even mentioned this.
This was captured by the Anies-Sandi candidate pair.
Alexis became part of the campaign promises he carried.
The prostitution business is seen by the Anies-Sandi couple as a form of violation of the ethics of just and civilized human morality based on divinity.
All religions in Indonesia, especially in Jakarta view prostitution as an unethical and immoral act.
Anies promised to eradicate the practice of prostitution in Jakarta.
At that time, he said that if he was elected later, he would close Alexis, which .

6 of 2015 concerning Tourism, and Regional Regulation No.

Community elements provide support for the Anies-Sandi pair.
The support came generally from Islamic mass organizations, including figures from the Jakarta MUI.
Muhammadiyah.
Forum 212.
Bamus Betawi, and FPI.
The pair has been supported from the start by two political parties: Gerindra and PKS.
These two political parties are the core of the KMP national coalition led by Prabowo Subianto.
PKS, which is a missionary party, sees prostitution as something forbidden.
Gerindra also emphasized the same thing formally.
This party is committed to maintaining public morality, because that is the capital of Indonesia's development.
Gerindra supports the will of the people as a necessity.
Thus, the party shows a commitment to the masses of the people in order to get support later in future political contests.
Gerindra is trying to show that it is the right party to be entrusted with the public's mandate, and to play a role as a channel for channeling people's interests.
PKS agreed on the same thing, showing the public that the party and its cadres are pro-people.
PKS hopes for the sympathy and support of the prospective voters to cast their vote for this party in future political contests.
Sitting in power for PKS cadres is the most effective form of public preaching.
Au.
[A] signature of a ruler is stronger than signatures of 1,000 doctors.
Ay Challenge In the Jakarta Pilkada, the parties that nominated candidate pairs had many reasons for their support.
One of them is because he joined a political coalition on a national scale (Gaudart.
One of the reasons for PKS's support for Anies-Sandi is the national coalition for Gerindra.
The same thing was conveyed by PKB and p, that this was one of their commitments to the Great Indonesia Coalition.
The political parties that support the Basuki-Djarot pair even fielded the chairman of the coalition.
Megawati Soekarnoputri, to directly lobby each party that is part of the KIH.
This will later determine the position of Anies and Sandi in the Jakarta government.
It is important to take into account the balance of seats in the parties in the DPRD to prevent the failure of the policy that will be made by the Regional Government to stop the Alexis Hotel and Alexis Massage Griya, due to rejection from the Jakarta legislature.
The balance of seats also determines the policies made.
Even though the number of seats that definitely support the Regional Government (Gerindra and PKS) is quite small, the issue of morality that is played by the Regional Government to get support from the community has made the opposing parties in parliament think again if they reject the policy.
This is because they need support from the public so that they can appear to dominate political seats, which in the following year there will be elections in 2019, this is a consideration for all parties in the opposition.
Polemics around policy Policy rolled out.
Alexis closed.
Various elements of society expressed their support for the representatives of the people.
Politicians from the Anis-Sandi faction support the regional government's policies.
The mass organizations that previously questioned the determination of the local government have now turned to support the regional government.
The support was Glosains: Jurnal Sains Global Indonesia | 141 Eddy Guridno.

provided by FPI Jakarta and MUI Jakarta.
Something similar emerged from the Central MUI.
The North Jakarta Community Forum (Formaj.
, the Ulama and Habaib Forum (Fuha.
, and the 212 Alumni Forum.
The 212 Alumni Presidium also supports Anies-Sandi's actions, as well as the 212 Alumni Brotherhood.
MUI feels benefited from the local government's policy of stopping the Alexis Hotel and Alexis Massage Griya.
These mass organizations are aware that they do not have the political authority to eradicate immorality.
For that, political will is needed from the local The DKI Jakarta Regional Government's policy to close the Alexis Hotel and Alexis Massage Griya has also penetrated into the community.
Various responses emerged from netizens on social Various hashtags have been used in discussions among netizens on Twitter, in the form of "#betawigratismaksiat", "#alexis" and "#alexis Tutup".
The negative sentiment towards Alexis is higher than the positive sentiment which is 38.
On October 30-31, a total of 8,880 conversations, it was stated that 71% of the conversations about Alexis showed the level of public trust in the Regional Government of DKI Jakarta.
Alexis rejected the local government's policy, denying that there was prostitution at the hotel.
The management of the Alexis Hotel stated that what was alleged by the Regional Government of DKI Jakarta actually did not exist.
He even emphasized that Alexis had never once made a guilty plea for that.
Aspija and PHRI defended Alexis.
They see the regional government's actions as being hasty and arrogant.
Aspija sees that the Regional Government cannot include evidence of prostitution that is clear, does not embrace and does not side with businessmen.
In their eyes.
Alexis contributes taxes that are important to DKI.
PHRI wants the Regional Government to support the interests of entrepreneurs, because it improves the economy of the people in Jakarta.
Even though there were criticisms.
PHRI's defense seemed half-hearted.
This is due to the attitude of Hotel Alexis as a member, and the PHRI's lack of authority to manage its members, because that authority has been removed by the government.
Apart from that.
PHRI itself admits that Alexis has violated the law, on the other hand PHRI also sees other opportunities to gain profit without breaking the law, such as making hotels Muslim friendly, and so on.
The interest groups that defended Alexis then submitted their complaints to the PDIP However, the Gerindra and PKS factions said that the argument was weak and could be It was stated that Lina Novita .

had come to Commission B.
DPRD DKI Jakarta.
However.
Commission B firmly rejected the objections raised by the management of the Alexis Hotel, who was accompanied by her lawyer.
For Commission B, public morality is an important thing that must be protected.
Formally, factions in the DKI Jakarta DPRD support the DKI Jakarta Regional Government's action to stop the Alexis Hotel and Alexis Massage Griya businesses.
However, several factions, such as the PDI-P, had an unclear attitude in the end.

agreed half-heartedly, and halfheartedly opposed it.
This stance was taken considering that the issue that was rolled out by the DKI Regional Government Anies-Sandi was classified as a sensitive issue which was supported by many people, especially Muslims in Jakarta, as well as consideration of the chances of getting votes for the 2019 Election.
However, behind that there is conflict in the form of debate and opposition between the supporting and opposition factions.
The debate took the form of: .
the DKI Jakarta Regional Government's policy towards regional regulations, .
the DKI Jakarta Regional Government's policy whether it was merely a campaign promise or not, .
regarding Alexis as a PAD contributor, .
investment issues, .
the issue of the fate of workers, .
the problem of the impact of the disease: .
Reasons for the Regional Government of DKI Jakarta to violate the Regional Regulation.
PDIP sees that the regional government has violated regional regulations in force in Jakarta.
If it is true that there is prostitution at the Alexis Hotel and Alexis Massage Griya, it must be legally proven.
Golkar sees that the regional government is not acting according to the official mechanisms and procedures.
Gerindra said it was true that the regional government was doing this as a form of fulfilling a campaign promise.
As a supporting party.
Gerindra fully supports the actions of the Regional Government.
However, the campaign promise was based on a regional regulation that prohibited the practice of prostitution.
The same thing was stated by PKS, supporting the Regional Government to close Alexis not only because of moral issues .
ultural ethic.
, but also because of legal issues, .
The reason that the Regional Government of DKI 142 | Glosains: Jurnal Sains Global Indonesia Eddy Guridno.

Jakarta makes policies is solely driven by campaign promises.
Nasdem strongly criticized the actions of the regional government which he considered only to fulfill his political campaign promises in the 2017 DKI Jakarta Pilkada.
PDIP conveyed the same thing, .
The argument that Alexis contributed to the Regional Original Revenue (PAD) of DKI Jakarta.
PDIP said that DKI Jakarta really needs taxes from the hotel business and the entertainment service industry.
The entrepreneurs have fulfilled all obligations based on regional laws and regulations.
Stopping Alexis' business means reducing Jakarta's PAD.
Pemda supporters dispute this issue.
Gerindra said that the argument was out of place.
Loss of income from Alexis is not significant for PAD Jakarta.
Although Alexis contributes taxes to Jakarta, the positive and negative sides must also be The development of PAD from 2014 to 2019 has successively increased from 4% per year, rising to 5%, until now it is above 6%.
In the prostitution business, which is the mainstay of Alexis' business, the Regional Government of DKI does not receive taxes.
If it goes into taxes, even that is against the law, .
The argument that the DKI Jakarta GovernmentAos actions deterred potential investors from investing in Jakarta.
PDIP regrets that the regional government's actions have disrupted people's businesses.
The local government did not follow up positively on the excesses of the closing of Alexis to parties who had the potential to do business there.
PDIP is worried about the impact this will have on investment potential in Jakarta.
For this faction, the Pemda DKI with its regulations has frightened investors to invest in Jakarta.
Governor Anies and Deputy Governor Sandi considered these regional government regulations to have been violated by making a governor regulationAi Pergub No.

1,138,666,310,000,-, .
The reason for the fate of the workers at Alexis.
The PDIP faction criticized the regional government's policies without considering the impact of unemployment.
The hotel business and entertainment services according to PDIP are labor-intensive services, absorbing a large number of workers.
Gerindra said that the 1,000 Alexis workers should be the responsibility of PT Grand Ancol Hotel.
This should be the responsibility of the managing company, because the company has violated the law.
The regional government has acted decisively, so that entrepreneurs engaged in this kind of field will not dare to act in violation of regulations.
The DPRD has asked the Manpower Service to temporarily accommodate former prostitutes at Alexis.
Commission B asked the Department of Manpower to care for, guide and invite them to choose respectable jobs.
However, they do not want to change professions.
Most of them see their work pragmatically.
80% of them disappeared to return to work as prostitutes.
The remaining 20% were again caught red-handed as prostitutes elsewhere, .
Rationale to Prevent Expansion of Impact.
PDIP assesses that the regional government's actions also have an impact on expanding the spread of community diseases.
Prostitution as a social problem cannot be eradicated, but it can be localized in certain places so that it does not spread.
In the eyes of some people, prostitution is seen as a form of entertainment, pleasure .
appy need.
, and even a kind of lifestyle.
Jakarta, as a metropolitan city that is filled with people with various backgrounds and views on life, certainly also includes businesses like Regarding the spread of HIV/AIDS in Jakarta, localization creates a great opportunity for the spread of HIV/AIDS to be monitored and controlled.
However, if prostitution is suppressed, then sexual acts outside of marriage become latent and not easy to detect.
Policy impact Impact on law enforcement.
The local government is seen as having applied the law Local government action is a symbol of law enforcement that is sharp up and The law in the form of a tourism regional regulation, and related to the concept of tourism which is regulated by the regulations above it, is enforced in Jakarta.
Impact on entrepreneurs.
Entrepreneurs can no longer play around with the law, and against the law.
This impact was also felt by Endah Setia Dewi when she tested Griya Massage Delta, which served prostitution.
When he pretended to book a place.
Delta said it was temporarily closed.
Hospitality and entertainment Glosains: Jurnal Sains Global Indonesia | 143 Eddy Guridno.

businesses are careful to break the law.
The impact on the popularity of DKI Jakarta Regional Government (Anies-Sandi Leadershi.
The actions of the regional government have made most of the community, in this case the Muslims in DKI Jakarta, become somewhat calmer.
Netizens also show this popularity.
Positive sentiment to local governments averaged 38.
5% .
October 2007 71%.
In 2018, the name Alexis has a negative meaning in cyberspace, associated with the Alexis Massage Hotel and Griya.
Positive values towards the Regional Government, and negative towards 'Alexis' are also found among the residents.
The emergence of other cases of prostitution in Jakarta to be handled by the Regional Government.
There was a development of covert prostitution in several hotels in Jakarta with a gap in the meeting time when Alexis was stopped by the local government.
With the closure of major prostitution, prostitution appeared elsewhere.
Prostitution in the new place eventually grew and underwent a similar cycle.
Reports from the public indicated that other prostitution activities had emerged at lower-tier venues across the city.
Discussion Moral concept The vision of the Anies-Sandi candidate pair for Jakarta is "Jakarta is an Advanced and Civilized City with All Citizens Feeling Justice and Prosperity".
Building Jakarta must be based on the spirit of realizing a humane and civilized city.
Jakarta must have morals for the welfare of its In Anies Baswedan's view, religious values, faith in God are important assets for the community to develop Jakarta.
This notion of morality was later used by the Regional Government of DKI Jakarta as capital to develop DKI Jakarta.
Jakarta residents must be human beings who have a sense of humanity.
treat others as treat human beings ethically.
Society in general, and Jakarta is no exception, consists of two moral views: religious and secular (Masduki, 2011.
MuAoasyara, 2019.
Mumtaz, 2.
Religious groups are making religious values as their way of life.
In the view of religion, sexual relations are strictly regulated: permitted only within marriage and between a man and a woman.
Beyond that is forbidden.
Meanwhile, secular groups make human needs and desires in their daily lives an ethical basis.
This secular society sees humans as measuring tools and determining ethical truth.
Related to the phenomenon of sexuality, in a secular view, sexual relations in any form and type is a human right.
Meanwhile, religious ethics is considered as a 'pressing ethics'.
So there is a difference of opinion between the two groups of people who are secular and religious.
The concept of morality initiated by Anies and Sandi comes from the views of the religious community.
Political considerations in policy formulation Anies and Sandi won the Pilkada.
They were elected as the new Governor and Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta.
The two parties supporting Anies-Sandi during the 2017 DKI Jakarta Pilkada put pressure on the Regional Government to immediately fulfill their campaign promises.
PKS and Gerindra have interests, because that is their means to show that the two parties are worthy of receiving the mandate of their constituent masses.
At that time.
Gerindra wanted to raise its leader.

as potential voters (Septiana et , 2.
At least, the mass of voters who previously made their choice of the Anies-Sandi pair, in general, are the masses of DKI Jakarta who make moral values a guide for their daily lives.
PKS
and Gerindra targeted these masses to face political contestation in 2019 (Gaudart, 2.
On the other hand, there is a possibility that the DKI Jakarta Regional Government will face challenges in the internal political system of government.
The first possibility is a challenge from the opposition.
This party is a supporter of the candidate pair that lost in the 2017 Pilkada (Dasuki-Djaro.
, a pair supported by the Great Indonesia Coalition, supporters of the central The regional government and this group in parliament can be read as a micro form of the conflict between KIH and KMP (KMP was then left with Gerindra and PKS, the two parties supporting Anies-Sand.
This conflict is also an extension of the political conflict between KIH and KMP.

Aberar Guridno Political Dynamics.
Capital politics has a close relationship with national politics.
Indonesia as a developing country, its development and politics are concentrated in the capital.
Political issues in developing world countries that implement a democratic political system are important in the eyes of the people, and are important in managing the country.
In third world countries, the local politics of the capital is a micro form of national politics.
Political dynamics in DKI Jakarta, which is the capital, reflects political dynamics at the national level.
It can be seen that the role of national politics in local politics, in this case DKI Jakarta, is felt strong.
Even the Anies-Sandi pair themselves see that the ideas that underlie nationalism at the national level must also be present at the local level: Jakarta.
With regard to the two coalition camps facing each other nationally, the political winners of the Governor and Deputy Governor of Jakarta as an extension of national politics must stand on one of the two camps.
This will then burden the governor and deputy in making executive decisions in the Jakarta administration.
The regional government also has to deal with elements in its executive government unit, as well as with party members in parliament who are linked to Alexis.
Alexis targets the upper middle class social group segment.
Alexis provides prostitution services at the elite level, with good supporting facilities.
Board members became one of the targets.
Unscrupulous board members become customers.
Individual officials of the state apparatus participated in the prostitution business at Alexis, and there were members of the DPRD who enjoyed the services During the campaign.
Anies had promised in front of the mass organizations that supported him to eradicate immorality.
Then, the mass organizations collected promises from Anies and Sandi who had occupied DKI 1 and 2.
The Alexis Hotel case became one of the prominent issues to be billed.
These interest groups pressured the Regional Government to immediately realize its promise to close the Alexis Hotel.
These interest groups convey their agenda of political interests, namely the moral agenda for the Regional Government to hear.
They lobbied the grassroots masses to get support in putting pressure on the regional government, through mass media coverage.
This is one pattern of the relationship between political institutions and interest The political will of these promotional interest groups can be interpreted as representing the will of the majority of Anies-Sandi's electorate, bearing in mind that most of the electorate is a mass of people who have ideological and religious moral values.
This pressure from the mass media can be seen as a good moment for the Regional Government of DKI Jakarta to close the Alexis Hotel business.
And this is read by the Regional Government as a momentum of support.
Tourism business in the eyes of formal laws must pay attention to the moral values, customs and culture of the local community.
The Tourism Office is aware that in order to bridge the gap between this Perda and real conditions, regulations are needed.
Governor Regulation No.
18 of 2018 appears as a bridge.

The political conflict surrounding this issue mirrored broader national political dynamics, with different factions in the Jakarta Legislative Council either supporting or opposing the decision.
The study emphasizes that policies in such contentious situations are influenced by a range of factors, including moral preferences, political dynamics, previous political events, and the views of society.
The findings also reveal the critical role of worldview in shaping the perspectives of opposing interest groups, with moral-religious framing versus secular-pragmatic framing driving much of the conflict.
These dynamics underline the complex nature of public policy formulation in political conflict contexts.
To enhance future policy-making, it is crucial to consider the varying worldviews and interests of different societal groups, ensuring that policies are inclusive and address the concerns of all stakeholders.
Moreover, the role of political dynamics and previous events should be incorporated into the policy design process to ensure a more comprehensive approach.
Future research could further investigate the impact of differing worldviews on political conflict resolution, particularly in the context of moral versus pragmatic policymaking.
