Implementation of Law Enforcement Against Environmental Pollutants in Gemaharjo Village, Pacitan

This study aims to discuss environmental law enforcement that occurred in the village of Gemaharjo Pacitan. Law enforcement is carried out related to environmental pollution, namely the disposal of cow dung into rivers which causes river water to become polluted. This pollution makes river water unusable by villagers for their daily needs. This study uses an empirical legal research method where data from the field obtained by observation and interviews are then systematized for analysis and conclusions are made. The scope of the research only discusses law enforcement against environmental pollution perpetrators in the village of Gemaharjo Pacitan. From the results of interviews and observations obtained in the field, law enforcement in the village of Gemaharjo Pacitan has been carried out well, namely the village head reprimanded with a cultural approach to the parties concerned. This approach is accompanied by education to utilize cow dung waste into something useful, not something harmful. Law enforcement can be carried out preventively and repressively, but law enforcement in the village of Gemaharjo Pacitan prioritizes prevention because the culture is so thick in the area that this approach is considered more humane to use
