| dc.description.abstract | The environmental conditions of traditional markets in Indonesia are generally
poor, characterized by dirt, mud, and piles of waste that produce unpleasant odors.
Market sanitation must be managed optimally to create a clean and healthy market
environment. High activity levels in market areas generate large amounts of waste,
requiring effective waste management efforts. This study aims to analyze the
characteristics of traders, market sanitation, waste management systems, and fly
density at the Kampung Lalang Traditional Market in Medan City in 2025. The type
of research used is descriptive survey through observation and interviews. The study
population consists of all traders at the Kampung Lalang Traditional Market,
totaling 312 people, with a sample of 76 traders selected using Proportionate
Stratified Random Sampling. For visitors, 96 respondents were selected using
Cochran's formula. The results showed that the majority of traders were aged 41-
50 years (28 people or 36.8%), most were female (55 people or 72.4%), and the
most common length of employment was 1-10 years (38 people or 50%). Based on
the assessment criteria from the Indonesian Ministry of Health Regulation No.17 of
2020, only the 1st Floor (clothing and jewelry) and 2nd Floor (clothing) met health
requirements (70%). The waste management system at the Kampung Lalang
Traditional Market was categorized as non-compliant with SNI 19-2454-2002 in
terms of waste storage, collection, and disposal. The measurement of fly density
showed that the temporary waste disposal area (TPS) had the highest density, with
an average of 25 flies per grill block, while the overall market area was categorized
as high, with an average of 15.8 flies per grill block. It is recommended that market
management improve sanitation facilities and infrastructure, establish more
specific waste management policies related to market waste handling and disposal,
and enhance cleanliness supervision to create a healthy market environment. | en_US |
