Abstract

Recurring floods in South Bandung Regency indicate failures in spatial planning and weak environmental law enforcement. Flooding should not be viewed solely as a natural disaster, but as a consequence of inconsistent spatial policies and disregard for environmental carrying capacity. This study aims to analyze juridically the relationship between spatial planning failure, law enforcement, and flood crises in South Bandung Regency. The research employs a normative legal method using statutory and conceptual approaches through library research. The findings show that violations of spatial plans, weak supervision, and ineffective legal sanctions significantly contribute to increased flood risks. This study emphasizes that consistent spatial planning policies and strengthened law enforcement are essential to preventing flood crises and ensuring the public’s constitutional right to a healthy environment.
