Another factor is culture, people's way of thinking and consumer behavior. Javanese culture in many cases turned out to be unable to become a stronghold for legal protection in the face of crime or deviant perpetrators committed by businesses. Secondly, Indonesia is still difficult to escape from the confines of eastern culture in the context of Javanese politeness "ewuh-pakewuh", and it has been proven empirically that the "ewuh-pakewuh" bureaucratic culture makes the system of relations between businesses and consumers unbalanced.   Keywords: Reconstruction; Ewuh Pakewuh Culture; Consumer protection.
