Abstract

Pasar Senin is one of the traditional markets located at Kepenghuluan Rantau Panjang Kiri, Kubu Babussalam subdistrict, Rokan Hilir regency, Riau, with fairly poor sanitation, seen by the number of disorganized rubbish due to limited temporary dumping site. This could be a source of disease which could affect the health condition of sellers. This study was done to analyse the sellers’ characteristics, the knowledge, attitude, and action of sellers on market sanitation at Pasar Senin, also to analyse the market sanitation and level of fly density. This was a descriptive study with 67 sellers as samples obtained from total sampling. Most sellers were female with 35 people (52.2%), age range of 32-47 years with 31 people (46.3%), have been working for more than 10 years with 37 people (55.2%), working for more than 8 hours per day with 38 people (56.7%), and income of less than Rp. 3,000,000 with 42 people (62.7%). The knowledge and attitude of sellers were at good category, 80.6%, and 77.6%, respectively, while the action was poor, 91.0%. The assessment score showed that the market sanitation did not meet the health requirements as the score was only 20.7%. The measurement for fly density were very high at fishmonger stalls with an average of 33. It is recommended for the private sectors who organize the market to provide adequate facilities for market sanitation, and for sellers to maintain the cleanliness by appropriate rubbish disposal and provide individual garbage bin in each stall, not smoking or eating within the area while working, and to do health check at least once every 6 months to ensure the health status and safety when carrying out the work.
