This study uses four samples of traditional markets, one in Jakarta and three revitalized markets in Semarang.

The results of this study obtained justification that the revitalization of traditional Indonesian market if mapped components are factors that affect the success or failure of a revitalization process when compared to some case studies of market revitalization in Jakarta and Semarang. This research suggests to the local decision makers to avoid the paradigm of budget-based development but, also to adapt socio-engineering aspects by considering the social interaction of traditional market traders in the Indonesian context.
