Abstract
The existence of Dolly’s localization as the largest prostitution center in Southeast Asia located in Surabaya is not a proud achievement for the Surabaya city government, when Tri Rismaharini as the mayor officially closed it on June 8th, 2014, residents around the former Dolly localization lost many of their livelihoods and declining incomes. This research uses a systemic approach which is one alternative to see the relationship between government and its citizens, trying to find out how the Surabaya city government changed the economic system in the former Dolly localization to a populist-based economic activity by empowering the economic activities of citizens in the former Dolly localization despite the practice prostitution has been closed, and uses qualitative methods through interview techniques to the Public Relations Division of the Surabaya City Government, and public relations agencies or private companies (key informants) and citizens in the former Dolly localization area (informant). Based on the results of the study it was concluded that the Surabaya city government has collaborated with various private agencies in implementing an empowerment program for the community of the former Dolly localization as compensation for the closure of prostitution in the area.
