Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the policy instruments used by the Surabaya City Government to move street vendors to Bulak Fish Center. The background is because not all street vendors are ready to occupy the Bulak Fish Center. This study uses Howleet and Ramesh's theory to categorize policy instruments into three groups: Voluntary, Combined, and Compulsory Instruments. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with in-depth interviews. The research results reveal that the Surabaya City Government uses only five types of policy instruments. First, families and communities provide information to the community about the relocation of street vendors to Bulak Fish Center. Second, policies provide space to interact with street vendors, community leaders, and religious groups. Third, the policy of providing information and advice to all Surabaya local governments to keep Bulak Fish Center alive for a month. Fourth, the policy prohibiting selling in the old location. Fifth, the policy is to provide cleaning staff and transport vehicles directly to roadside vendors. However, 50 percent of the street vendors are still willing to occupy the Bulak Fish Center. Thus, the policy tools used by the Surabaya City Government have not been optimal, so that it has become a factor in the failure of roadside trade relocation operations.

Summary
Street vendors (PKL) term has been heralded from the British colonial era. The term is taken from the width of the sidewalk, which is calculated with a gap (feet) of less than 31 cm, while the width of the sidewalk at that time was only five feet or less, about 1.5 meters, as the street vendors (PKL) call it. (Widyaningrum 2009). EXPLANATION Street vendors are every person who carries out business, trading, or service activities, namely directly meeting the needs of consumer goods or food which tend to move around with little, less, or limited capital in running a business using simple tools It is located in a public place (especially on a sidewalk or part of the road) without formal law. The facilities are already equipped at the Bulak Fish Center They are still unwilling to do so because they are reluctant to be located far from their homes and have to take public transportation, so they find it difficult to mobilize. In arranging street vendors to the Bulak Fish Center, the Surabaya government has set a policy. As for the text of the Local Government Regulation of Surabaya Number 17 of 2003 concerning the Preparation and Empowerment of Street Vendors, the Regional Government needs to organize and empower street vendors as Surabaya residents who do business in the informal sector
