Abstract
Jiung is an informal market growing in public open spaces in Kemayoran, Central Jakarta, Indonesia. It consists of a row of non-permanent stalls and is also observed to be surrounding the densely populated settlements and four main Streets which are the Benyamin Sueb, Haji Ung, Kemayoran Gempol, and Bendungan Jago. Most of the traders come from the settlements behind the row of the market stalls and sell from morning to night except for those on the Kemayoran Gempol Street section, who are allowed to only trade up to late afternoon when traders with tents on the Street resume. These trading activities, however, lead to the closure of the Kemayoran Gempol Street and the tents used in the night market also cover the stalls of the Jiung Market merchant. Meanwhile, this market is acceptable to the residents and also the traders due to the long time existence of the Night Market activities in the place. There is, therefore, the need to understand the adaptation process to be implemented for the night market traders to be acceptable using the qualitative approach. It was discovered that a mutually beneficial relationship is the main reason the Night Market has survived up to the present moment. Moreover, the market was also found to have influenced the distribution of traders in several locations around the area but it is possible to inhibit the distribution growth through an architectural approach as a contribution towards the planning and design of urban public spaces in the country.
Highlights
Cities are centers of growth characterized by the rapid development of several aspects [1] and [2]. These are, unable to be contained by the available formal spaces, thereby, leading to the growth of informal spaces [3] which are highly dependent on location, accessibility, mobility, and connectivity based on economic and strategic considerations [4]. This is observed from the fact that informal spaces usually develop in public open spaces due to high accessibility and low levels of supervision and control [5] and [6]
Been made by the traders in an effort to deal with the pressures caused by environmental changes in order to survive and maintain privacy in public spaces [17] and have the potential to change the face of the city [18]
Jiung Market area consists of 3 main parts which are the settlement, market, and the night market
Summary
Cities are centers of growth characterized by the rapid development of several aspects [1] and [2]. The environmental changes were, observed to have affected the adaptation strategies in the community [24] and [25] It is, interesting to study how the Jiung Night Market has survived in the middle of the Jiung Market up to the present moment as well as the acceptance of the migrant traders by the local population without conflict. Jiung Night Market traders start selling from the afternoon and close by evening but the activities usually commence in the noon through the setting up of tents and preparation of wares This period was considered the best time for the field observations [30]. The discussion looks for whether there is a role for Jiung Market Settlements and Market in this adaptation
