coincides with the phenomenon of the increasing number of fashion product traders who claim to sell original factory rejected goods the management of PT Shoes Bata Tbk announced the closure of its

Xchange mall operated as usual on Monday (5/6/2024) despite the closure of its shoe factory in Purwakarta The Bata shoe brand is often mistaken as a local brand even though the shoe manufacturer is based in Czechoslovakia and has been producing since 1894 The brand first appeared in Indonesia in 1931 during the Dutch East Indies era Among the shoe brands available in Indonesia today Bata can be considered one of the oldest ones Bata must compete with imported shoes and local brands A series of local shoe brands including Piero younger generations are more familiar with brands such as Ventela There are also many other local labels that have not been mentioned In the midst of the increasing market demand these domestic products must compete with foreign brands that have big names Bata shoescurrently only have a relatively small market share This is reflected in search trend data obtained through Google Trends This comparison was made of the Bata brand with five local shoe brands and five shoe brands from abroad The data period taken is the last 12 months Also read: Bata Management: Factory Closure Has Been Through In-depth Study a number from 0 to 100 is obtained to indicate

climate have hope of increasing their market share issues arise when there are counterfeit products and "black market" shoes that are widespread in a community focused on branding In a document

quality are easily recognized fake Adidas shoes that have three lines on their logo are counterfeited with four lines these roughly imitated shoes are also selling in the market consumers can be seen wearing these products recently there has been a phenomenon of traders who claim that their products are original The price difference can reach up to one-third of the official website's listed price The goods claimed to be genuine have the status of black market goods because their origin is unclear The most popular claim is that they are obtained from items that do not pass factory quality checks This is because goods that do not pass quality checks from the manufacturer are not allowed to circulate in the market Also read: Ministry of Industry: Bata Closes Factory to Be More Efficient Heavy equipment tandem roller destroys confiscated goods in the parking lot of the Ministry of Trade, Jakarta, Wednesday (18/12/2019). The items destroyed included luminaires, water pumps, children's toys, hoes, shoes, clothes, cooling machines and flour with a total value of IDR 15 billion. What is suspicious about the factory's original claim of rejection is that there are so many traders who can be found on social media and marketplaces. The shoe sizes offered are quite complete for certain models. Regarding this phenomenon, there is no clarity regarding the upstream product. If the illegal trade activity is true, namely selling rejected products from factories at lower prices, then the brand owner will experience losses. Apart from financial losses, they also suffer brand image losses because they produce products of lower quality than usual. This also reflects the weak governance of factory management which is a production partner so that there are individuals who sell products that do not pass quality tests for personal gain. This has ultimately sparked a debate on the definition of genuine or counterfeit shoes. Looking at the current phenomenon, it is necessary to define the marketed commodities in greater detail. Shoes can be considered genuine if purchased through an official store or retail store that is authorized to trade the brand. If consumers buy shoes outside of these stores, they are stepping into the gray area concerning the authenticity of the product. Coming back to the closure of the Bata shoe factory, manufacturers face a double challenge. Apart from competing with other brands circulating in Indonesia, they also have to deal with illegal commodities. Ironically, these allegedly illegal products are becoming easier for consumers to obtain and are increasingly being traded openly. Di hampir setiap perbatasan desa dipasang kamera-kamera pengintai atau yang lazim dikenal dengan istilah CCTV. "Ini adalah bagian dari peraturan bupati mengenai desa berbudaya agar warga Purwakarta kembali ke budaya Sunda yang sesungguhnya," jelas Bupati Purwakarta Dedi Mulyadi. Bila sepasang orang dewasa tertangkap melanggar aturan tersebut baik melalui kamera pengintai maupun oleh polisi yang sedang berpatroli, maka mereka akan diberi teguran tertulis. Apabila sudah tiga kali ditegur, maka pada ke empat kalinya, pasangan tersebut akan dibawa ke balai musyarawah desa. "Nah di balai musyawarah desa atau balai budaya desa itu nanti dirumuskan kategori-kategorinya. Kan nanti ada kategori yang sudah siap menikah, dan kategori yang belum siap menikah. Dan ada kategori yang kecelakaan menikah gitu loh," kata Dedi Mulyadi. "Kategori kecelakaan menikah berarti ada aspek prosedur adat yang terlanggar yakni berhubungan badan di luar pernikahan. Kalau sudah melanggar prosedur adat, maka mereka wajib menikah," ungkap Dedi. Bagi mereka yang bersikeras tidak ingin menikah, maka akan dikeluarkan dari desa karena berarti sudah tidak bersedia mengikuti aturan yang berlaku di desa tersebut. Namun, Dedi menjelaskan, bagi pelanggar aturan yang belum berhubungan badan dapat dikenakan sanksi seperti kerja bakti atau pun membersihkan halaman. Dengan adanya peraturan desa berbudaya, ke 183 desa yang ada di Purwakarta diharapkan mengikuti peraturan ini yang dapat disesuaikan dengan keadaan masing-masing desa sehingga membuatnya menjadi seperangkat peraturan desa. Hingga Jumat (02/10) sudah ada sekitar 150 desa yang menyatakan mengikuti peraturan ini. Setelah diterapkan satu hari Dedi belum mengetahui berapa warganya yang melanggar peraturan tersebut. Sementara itu, peraturan baru ini ditanggapi beragam oleh warga Purwakarta. "Bagus yah itu aturannya karena anak sekarang kan pada pacaran terus gak mikirin sekolah," kata Tyas, 18 tahun. Sedangkan Derama Sandyakala mengatakan pemerintah harus memikirkan efektivitasnya. "Karena banyak dampak yang merugikan juga. Sekarang gampang aja kan nikahin orang, liat dampak ke depannya juga tapi, orang bisa aja punya hak bisa bercerai dan lain sebagainya. Itu juga perlu dipikirkan," kata Derama. Selain dilarang berpacaran di atas jam 21.00 WIB bagi orang dewasa, warga yang berumur di bawah 17 tahun memang dilarang pacaran, kata Bupati Dedi Mulyadi. Peraturan-peraturan ini selama tidak bertentangan dengan konstitusi Indonesia dan undang-undang tidak masalah, menurut pegiat hak asasi manusia dari Imparsial Bhatara Ibnu Reza. Tapi Reza mengingatkan bahwa peraturan daerah seperti di Purwakarta mudah untuk disalahgunakan. "Kalau begitu mudah sekali. Orang-orang yang contohnya punya pikiran 'kalau gitu kita berhubungan badan aja, biar bisa nikah' karena mereka backstreet (pacaran tanpa diketahui dan persetujuan orang tua) dapat menyalahgunakan peraturan tersebut," tutur Bhatara. Peraturan Desa Berbudaya mencakup sedikitnya 15 hal: 1. mengembangkan budaya gotong royong melalui kegiatan kerja bakti 2. mengembangkan sikap tolong menolong melalui kegiatan "beas perelek" 3. masyarakat pasangan usia subur wajib menjadi akseptor KB 4. larangan penyelenggaraan kegiatan hiburan yang berpotensi menimbulkan keributan atau kericuhan 5. anak yang berusia di bawah umur dilarang mengendarai kendaraan bermotor 6. masyarakat yang akan menikah harus menempuh proses pemeriksaan kesehatan 7. masyarakat dan pelajar wajib memiliki tanaman dan hewan peliharaan 8. anak usia sekolah wajib mengikuti sekolah formal 9. anak usia sekolah dilarang berada di luar rumah lebih dari pukul 21.00 WIB 10. masyarakat wajib memadamkan listrik di luar rumah pada saat bulan purnama 11. tamu wajib lapor ke Ketua RT dan dilarang bertamu lebih dari pukul 21.00 WIB 12. warga masyarakat yang berumur 17 tahun ke bawah dilarang berpacaran 13. warga masyarakat yang berumur di atas 17 tahun dilarang berpacaran baik di dalam maupun di luar rumah lebih dari pukul 21.00 WIB, kecuali didampingi oleh orang tua atau keluarganya 14. pelarangan kegiatan yang berisi hasutan, fitnah, kebencian, adu domba antar kelompok/golongan yang berpotensi meruntuhkan persatuan, gotong royong dan ketenteraman masyarakat 15. pelarangan penjualan dan penggunaan minuman beralkohol Anda bisa mendengarkan liputan selengkapnya dalam program Liputan Khas, yang disiarkan melalui radio-radio mitra BBC Indonesia, Kamis, 08 Oktober 2015 pukul 05.00 dan 06.00 WIB.
