| dc.description.abstract | Traditional markets are centers of social and economic interaction that provide
daily necessities but often face environmental sanitation challenges, such as piles
of waste that produce unpleasant odors. An unhealthy market environment can
negatively affect the physical health and well-being of visitors and may serve as a
breeding ground for disease vectors such as flies. This study aims to analyze vendor
behavior (knowledge, attitudes, and practices) regarding market sanitation, assess
the sanitation conditions, and measure the fly density in the dry area of Tavip
Market, Binjai Kota District. This research is a descriptive survey using
observational and interview approaches. The population consisted of all dry stall
vendors at Tavip Market (121 people), with a sample of 55 vendors selected using
purposive sampling. Primary data were obtained through interviews and fly density
measurements using a fly grill. The results showed that the majority of vendors in
the dry area were female (74.5%), aged 18–40 years (61.8%), and had been
working for 1–10 years (83.6%). Most vendors had moderate knowledge of market
sanitation (43.6%), but their attitudes were predominantly poor (96.4%). Likewise,
the majority of vendor practices regarding market sanitation were also poor
(47.3%). Overall, Tavip Market's sanitation was found to not meet health
standards, with only 29.71 percent compliance based on the Indonesian Ministry of
Health Regulation No. 17 of 2020. Fly density measurements in the dry area
indicated a moderate category (3–5 flies/block/grill), with an overall average of
9.28. The highest fly density was found at the Temporary Waste Disposal Site (TPS),
with an average of 28 flies (very high category). Vendors are expected to maintain
market cleanliness by disposing of waste properly and providing individual trash
bins at each stall/stand that meet the required standards. | en_US |
