Based on the results of the data analysis, it is feasible to draw the following conclusion: The 2019 Bandung City Regional Regulation Concerning the Treatment of Vagabonds and the Homeless regulates how the municipal government is to handle gepeng. Social services aid in efforts to rehabilitate society. According to Article 16 of the 2019 Bandung City Regional Regulation, efforts to end homelessness are conducted in four different ways: prevention, repression, social rehabilitation, and reintegration activities. The central government's support, the 2019 Regional Regulation, the existence of non-governmental groups, and community support all contribute to the Bandung City Government's attempts to manage sprawl. Two barriers are the sluggish homeless culture and the cash-on-hand culture.
