The research method used in this research is descriptive qualitative method, using phenomenological approach. The data collection techniques used in this research were interviews, observation, and documentation. In addition, the data analysis technique used includes three streams of activities, namely data reduction, data presentation, and conclucion drawing. The results found from this study are that the interaction of the main actors in Tegal Panas localization, namely Commercial Sex Workers (CSW), Mami, and Consumers, can be describe as a hierarchy. In this case, the CSW’s position is as the axis of interaction, so it can be subordinate when interacting with Mami, and can be superordinate when interacting with Consumers. The position of the management or security of Tegal Panas localization is as a third party, which also represents the government and local residents. The existence of rules and policies set for the CSW and the Mami, made the management or security in the highest superordinate position in the social structure of Tegal Panas localization.
