Abstract: People with disabilities also have the same rights as normal humans in general, the role of the Indonesian nation in respecting the rights, obligations and roles for people with disabilities is contained in various regulations. In the 1945 Constitution at the preamble precisely in the fourth paragraph, it is clearly written that the fulfillment of rights for citizens with disabilities is guaranteed without exception in their daily lives. The Lamongan Regency Government also has rules in this regard which are contained in the Regional Regulation of Lamongan Regency Number 8 of 2020 concerning the Implementation of Protection and Fulfillment of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, this is a positive signal that the Lamongan Regency Government has tried and has very noble intentions to provide good services, especially to people with disabilities in Lamongan Regency. This study uses normative legal research, and it is hoped that in the future this research can provide conceptual input on local government policies, especially the Lamongan Regency Government in fulfilling the rights of persons with disabilities in the Lamongan Regency area. The results of research and discussion of this study show that although the Lamongan Regency Government has issued a Regional Regulation regarding Legal Protection for Persons with Disabilities, there are still obstacles, namely regarding accessibility for people with disabilities in Lamongan Regency and have not been fully implemented in various sectors, for example in Lamongan Square there have not been found accessible roads for wheelchair users, In shopping centers, especially in Lamongan Level Market and several Malls, there has not been found a special elevator for people with disabilities and tourist attractions that still do not provide proper facilities for people with disabilities. In the future, local governments should be obliged to provide accessible facilities for people with disabilities so that they are easily accessible and their rights can be given fairly.
