Description
Summary:The revitalization of the Indonesian Traditional Market has prolonged problems, becoming a never-ending story, particularly in public building standards in the last decade. A competitive traditional market is public need, where the affordable prices and infrastructure are the central consideration. This research aims to figure out the current condition of the Indonesian Traditional Market and the needs of future policy towards a competitive environment of the marketplace in a metropolitan city context. However, Western culture has been mixed into the current management of the Indonesian Traditional Market. The insight of the ideal traditional market for the metropolitan city, as well as Semarang, is the standard from Indonesian public market guidance and a lesson learned from other countries. This research was conducted between 2014-2017. A case study method was applied, using semistructured interviews, document investigation of Detailed Engineering Design (DED) and field observation of registered traditional markets in Semarang. The results will determine the current implementation of Traditional Market standards in Semarang. The infrastructure performance and redefinition category among marketplaces are suggested as a consideration toward the competitive traditional market on public building policy.
