Abstract

East Java free from prostitution has become the turning point that makes regional government of Ponorogo Regency intends to close any form of prostitution. In June 2015, Kedung Banteng, the only one prostitution business in Ponorogo, was officially closed down by The Minister of Social, Khofifah Indar Parawangsa. This closure then is followed by the demolition of its buildings in April 2016. In the context of freeing Ponorogo from any prostitution business, the government have already done their work well. The outcome expected from this study is an article published in an accredited national journal and a supporting teaching material that is significantly used in Public Policy Analysis subject and Sociology subject. Unfortunately, these coffee shops not only offer cups of coffee or food, but also provide hidden prostitution business. In this case, the sexual transaction is done online using some social media applications such as Blackberry messenger and Whatsapp application, while the prostitution action took place in a hotel and in a lodging house using short time system.
