The result shows that, on average, after Trans Java toll road program, the trend of increasing the number of minimarkets in villages crossed by the Trans Java toll road is 0.53 units larger compared to The villages that doesn't crossed by Trans Java toll road. But the results show that there is no significant effect of the Trans Java toll road on the number of traditional stores, namely the grocery store as traditional retail.
