Dampak Peraturan Walikota No 26 Tahun 2013 dan Perubahan Tata Guna Lahan Terhadap Usaha Ternak Kambing dan Domba di Kota Medan

Abstract

This research aims to examine the implications of Mayor Regulation No. 26 of 2013, which prohibits the rearing of four-legged livestock within urban areas, as a strategic measure to mitigate environmental pollution. The regulation is in alignment with the Regional Spatial Plan (RTRW) 2011–2031, which emphasizes pollution control, sustainable development, and environmental conservation. This study employs a qualitative research approach, involving 24 informants comprising government officials, business actors, and consumers, selected through purposive and snowball sampling techniques. Data were gathered through in-depth interviews and field surveys, and subsequently analyzed using an interactive analytical model. The findings reveal that the city is not designated as an agricultural or livestock production zone, resulting in a significant dependency on external regions to fulfill food demands, particularly for goat and sheep meat. Furthermore, land-use changes driven by population growth have hindered the development of livestock farming areas. Although there is notable market potential for goat and sheep meat, especially in relation to religious practices such as qurban and aqiqah, local producers are unable to meet this demand due to regulatory constraints and limited land availabilit
