Strategies for Enhancing Slum Settlement Study Case: Tegal Sari Mandala III, Medan Denai District

Tegal Sari Mandala III in the Medan Denai District is a residential area characterized by poor sanitation and a high risk of flooding, making it a mild slum. To prevent slum conditions from becoming normalized in Indonesian society, it is essential to address and eliminate such settlements. Each location presents unique challenges and requires tailored solutions to tackle slum issues effectively. This research employs both qualitative and quantitative methods, which are suitable for examining slum areas. The analysis reveals that the primary problems include poor environmental maintenance, such as garbage accumulation and improper waste management, leading to flooding, polluted rivers, and foul-smelling surroundings. Solutions to these issues include developing and enhancing the settlement quality by establishing a night market and creating green spaces along the banks of the Sulang Saling River.

The Operation Management Practices of Night Market Vendors in Selected Cities and Municipalities in the Province of Albay

The study examined the operation management practices of night market vendors in selected cities and municipalities within the Province of Albay and utilized a quantitative research approach and a descriptive- correlational design. Data from 206 vendors were collected through a self-administered questionnaire, employing a stratified sampling technique. The research aimed to identify significant differences in operation management practices based on vendor profiles and to explore the significant relationship between these practices and encountered challenges. Results indicated that the majority of night market vendors were aged 51-60, predominantly male, high school undergraduates, and married. They typically started with initial capital below Php10,000, had operated for 3-5 years, and earned daily income below Php5,000. Sole proprietorship was common, with 1-2 employees. Vendors reported high involvement in procurement, product preparation, pricing, sales, marketing, and customer service. Internal challenges such as sourcing, lack of proper storage facilities, managing costs, lack of innovation, and staff training engagement were noted, along with external challenges like compliance, weather conditions, competition, negative online reviews, and customer relations. While vendor profiles did not significantly affect operation management practices, a significant relationship existed between these practices and internal challenges. However, no significant relationship was found between operation management practices and external challenges. Based on these findings, a Night Market Operations Business Manual was proposed to improve operation management practices, encourage collaboration, and address challenges for enhanced business success and sustainability.

The aim of this research is to find out the public's perception of night market activities and the impact they have on road access in Bukit Pariaman Village, Tenggarong Seberang District, Kutai Kartanegara Regency.The type of data analysis carried out was using a qualitative descriptive analysis method. This research was carried out through interviews, field observations and document analysis. The research results show that the night market in Bukit Pariaman Village, which has been operating since 1995 and is held every Wednesday night, is an important economic and social center. However, limited parking space causes traffic jams that disrupt community activities. Inadequate infrastructure has also disrupted sales activities and reduced income since the Covid-19 pandemic. Parking money is channeled to the village treasury, but there has been no concrete solution from the market management and village government. This creates a feeling of discomfort felt by the community. Therefore, better management is needed, including providing parking lots, improving infrastructure and fair regulations. The community hopes that the village government will immediately provide a solution to reduce congestion and increase comfort. The research results recommend providing adequate parking, infrastructure improvements, more effective traffic management, transparency in financial management, and collaboration with the community to improve night market management in Bukit Pariaman Village.

Poly-(ionic liquid) coated with magnetic nanoparticles for micro solid phase extraction of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in food samples

Poly(methyl methacrylate-vinyl imidazole bromide) (poly-MMA-IL)-grafted magnetic nanoparticles were successfully developed and applied in the micro-magnetic solid phase extraction (μ-MSPE) for 16 types of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from tea, fried food, and grilled food samples via gas chromatography flame ionization detector (GC-FID). One variable at a time (OVAT) and response surface methodology (RSM) were used for efficient optimization. The validation method showed a good coefficient of determination (R 2) ranging from 0.9901 to 0.9982 (n = 3) with linearity of 0.2 μg L−1–500 μg L−1. Detection and quantification limits were 0.06 µg L−1–0.32 µg L−1 and 0.18 µg L−1–0.97 µg L−1. Additionally, satisfactory reproducibility was attained with intra-day and inter-day precisions having RSD ranges of 3.6%–11.1%. The spiked recovery value of 16 PAHs in fried food, grilled food and tea samples obtained from the night market in Malaysia ranged from 80%–12%, respectively.

Operational and Environmental Assessment for Night Markets under the Informal Economy Impacts: Insights from the Case Study of Selangor, Malaysia

As an expression of the informal economy, the night market is not only a place that could attract locals to buy goods but also a place where tourists can experience the local characteristics. While the night market brought economic vitality to the city's economy, it also brought some issues. A comprehensive literature review of night markets revealed that existing studies paid less attention to outdoor night markets' spatial operations and waste management. Grounded in the connection between sustainability and night markets, the present study reflected on existing research findings by adopting different periods of fieldwork to conduct a case study of the night market in Jalan 17/1A, Selangor, Malaysia. The study focused on three aspects of night markets: spatial operations, waste, and waste recycling. It found that night market operations brought localized regional economic benefits while causing more severe pollution issues, significantly affecting the region's environmental health and sustainable development. The findings revealed that local government regulation of night market businesses in Malaysia is weak (the issuance of business licenses is informed of the operational guidelines), and there is also no relevant monitoring and penalties by the local government to intervene in the misbehavior of night market consumers. Based on the results of the field survey and combined with the concept of sustainable development, the present study recommended suggestions for the future spatial operation and waste management of night markets. Innovative and novel perspectives of the study combined qualitative observations and data analysis to comprehensively examine how spatial considerations and waste management strategies intersect in the unique context of night markets—aiming to fill the gaps in the sustainability of night market operations and to protect the ecology of the surrounding territorial environment, contributing to the discourse on sustainable development.

Perception on E-Wallet Application among Night Market Consumer in Lembah Klang

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to an increased reliance on online transactions in Malaysia, with E-wallet and Apple Pay being the preferred methods of payment for consumers. These digital payment options offer convenience and eliminate the need to withdraw physical cash. The surge in E-wallet usage is driven by attractive incentives like government aid programs, cash back offers, discounts, and loyalty points. However, despite the introduction of E-wallets in 2017, their adoption remains limited due to a lack of awareness among consumers and businesses. Therefore, this research explores perception on acceptance of E-wallet as payment option among consumers specifically focusing on their impact on consumer behavior at night markets. This quantitative study used multiple regressions on a sample of 393 respondents. The key findings indicate that “Appearance Easy to Use”, “Security Perception”, “Function Perception” and “Attitude” have a significant relationship on the perception of E-wallet application among night market consumer in Lembah Klang. E-wallets have the potential to transform the night market experience by providing convenience and reducing the need for cash withdrawals at ATMs. As Malaysia's population continues to grow, the government's push for mobile payments is expected to drive the widespread adoption of digital transactions in the country.
