Abstract

The traditional market is one of the main facilities for the community to obtain daily food needs, as a place to sell wet food, dry food, and ready-to-eat food ingredients that is difficult to replace with existing modern markets. During the Covid-19 pandemic, traditional markets have the potential to be a locus in the spread of the virus because of activities that invite crowds. However, buying and selling activities in traditional markets must continue to supply the daily needs of the community, and to support the economic sustainability of the poor society. Government plans and directions for meeting the community needs in the smallest neighborhood or RT (Rukun Tetangga) did not implemented during the PSBB (large-scale social restrictions) period in Palembang. It can be seen that there are still many people whose shop at traditional markets. For this reason, it is necessary to organize the implementation of economic activities in traditional markets by applying public health priorities. This study examines the adaptations made by community of Palembang City in traditional markets during the Covid-19 pandemic. That is done by observing the fulfillment of health protocol support facilities in the market environment, the form of adjustment to health protocol directives, and the comfort and health aspects in terms of the technical aspects of traditional market buildings. The results of this study become the basis for the development of traditional market building standards in accordance with health protocols (in setting policies, fostering business activities, and supervising), including the pattern of traditional market spaces, facilities and infrastructure adapted to the behavior of the local community.
