This study examines the proposed policy issue of restricting Warung Madura from economic, political, and social impact perspectives. The background of this research is the increasing number of Warung Madura, which has sparked discussions about their economic contributions and social implications. The objective of this study is to analyze the economic benefits and drawbacks of these small enterprises, understand the political motivations behind the proposed restrictions, and evaluate the potential social consequences for business owners and the local community. This research employs a qualitative methodology, including literature reviews and interviews with stakeholders, to gather comprehensive insights. The findings reveal that Warung Madura plays a significant role in the local economy by providing affordable goods and creating job opportunities. However, concerns exist regarding market competition and regulatory compliance. Politically, the proposed restrictions appear to be driven by pressure from larger retail businesses and urban development plans, raising questions about equity and inclusivity in policy-making processes. The discussion highlights the complex interplay between economic benefits and political interests, emphasizing the need for a balanced approach that considers the livelihoods of Warung Madura owners and broader community welfare. The study concludes that policy decisions should be based on a thorough understanding of the socio-economic landscape and inclusive of marginalized voices to prevent unintended negative consequences. This research contributes to the discourse on urban economic policies and social equity, providing a foundation for more equitable and sustainable policy formulations in the future.
