Health effects of holistic housing renovation in a disadvantaged neighbourhood in the Netherlands: a qualitative exploration among residents and professionals

BackgroundHolistic housing renovations combine physical housing improvements with social and socioeconomic interventions (e.g. referral to social services, debt counselling, involvement in decision-making, promoting social cohesion). In a deprived neighbourhood in Utrecht, the Netherlands, this paper examined residents’ and professionals’ experiences, ideas, and perceptions regarding holistic housing renovation, its health effects, and underlying mechanisms explaining those effects.MethodsSemi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with 21 social housing residents exposed to holistic housing renovation, and 12 professionals involved in either the physical renovation or social interventions implemented. Residents were interviewed in various renovation stages (before, during, after renovation). Transcripts were deductively and inductively coded using qualitative software.ResultsResidents experienced and professionals acknowledged renovation stress caused by nuisance from construction work (noise, dust), having to move stuff around, and temporary moving; lack of information and control; and perceived violation of privacy. Involvement in design choices was appreciated, and mental health improvement was expected on the long term due to improved housing quality and visual amenity benefits. Social contact between residents increased as the renovation became topic for small talk. Few comments were made regarding physical health effects. The interviews revealed a certain amount of distrust in and dissatisfaction with the housing corporation, construction company, and other authorities.ConclusionsRenovation stress, aggravated by lack of information and poor accessibility of housing corporation and construction company, negatively affects mental health and sense of control. Potential stress relievers are practical help with packing and moving furniture, and increased predictability by good and targeted communication. Social interventions can best be offered after renovation, when residents live in their renovated apartment and the nuisance and stress from the renovation is behind them. Social partners can use the period leading up to the renovation to show their faces, offer practical help to reduce renovation stress, and increase residents’ trust in their organization and authorities in general. This might also contribute to residents’ willingness to accept help with problems in the social domain after renovation.

Digital methods in architectural and environmental renovation of buildings for a public function

This article explores advanced digital methods for comprehensive renovation of industrial buildings into public spaces. Four different approaches are described in detail: 1. Digital mapping and modeling: allows accurate spatial analysis to be performed for optimizing design solutions before physical renovation; combines virtual and augmented reality to create an immersive experience. 2. Integration of augmented and virtual reality: facilitates joint decision-making by visualizing proposed projects and thus increasing public engagement. Historical and cultural narratives are overlapped, strengthening the connection between the past and the present. 3. Smart building systems: include IoT devices and sensors to optimize energy efficiency, comfort, and overall functionality; solve unique challenges related to the conversion of industrial buildings. 4. Digital twin technology: creates a dynamic virtual copy for continuous real-time monitoring; uses machine learning for predictive analysis, increasing operational efficiency and sustainability. The convergence of technologies and architectural innovations presents a transformative force in the context of architectural and environmental renovation of industrial buildings, representing a change of the paradigm in the renovation of industrial facilities for re-use as a public function.

An Indicator Framework for Evaluating Building Renovation Potential

Implementation of a new European Union directive on energy renovation in Denmark can be expected to have a strong impact on the country’s energy renovation requirements. Accordingly, an indicator framework has been developed with the aim of identifying and quantifying the energy renovation potential of a specific Danish municipality. We identified and selected four indicators—energy consumption, CO2 emissions, heating costs and current energy labels—specifically for detached dwellings. The physical renovation potential was then quantified based on the indicator results, and an average score for the four indicators was calculated for each of the 10,228 detached dwellings in the municipality. All four indicators were weighted equally in the calculations of the total renovation potential score. The methods used in this study can be applied more widely as they rank detached dwellings according to their renovation potential. However, we also found that more detailed data are necessary to determine the specific renovation potential of detached dwellings. A greater effort to collect more data on the part of the municipalities would improve the accuracy of analyses.

Minat Pengunjung Di Pasar Tradisional Sukorejo Kec. Sukorejo Blitar

Traditional markets are places of interaction between sellers and buyers which are characterized by direct transactions and frequent bargaining processes. The existence of traditional markets makes people happy because traditional markets provide many basic daily needs and necessities and of course the prices are much cheaper than in supermarkets. Because of this, the development of traditional markets really needs to be improved, so that public interest increases, changes to traditional markets are needed. The development of traditional markets in Blitar can be seen, among other things, by physical renovations, activities to clean the environment around the market, arrangement of places and grouping of types of merchandise, orderly administration, order and security. Supporting factors include traditional market traders who always follow the advice and directions of market managers, the presence of cleaning staff, and good support from the Trade Department. However, there are also factors that hinder the development of traditional markets in increasing public interest, including: lack of public awareness about not throwing away rubbish, packaging of goods for sale that does not attract public interest, water drains that are often clogged with rubbish. The approach we take is a qualitative approach, such as going directly to traditional markets to see firsthand a clear picture and accurate facts.

Reducing carbon emissions through green renewal: insights from residential energy consumption in Chinese urban inventory districts from an evidence-based decision-making perspective

The green regeneration of urban inventory is now much more viewed as a strategy to create “green finance”, in contrast to the urban renewal movement that was started in the 1950s and focused on the physical renovation of the built environment. This study draws on evidence-based theory to examine the spatial forms of residential communities in 36 urban districts of China. From a morphological perspective, it summarizes the spatial forms of residential environments at the level of buildings and microdistricts. The results indicate that in urban areas, the aspect ratio and shape coefficient of residential buildings have a significant impact on household energy consumption, and an appropriate increase in building density will help reduce carbon emissions. In conclusion, this study emphasizes the role of carbon reduction as a kind of “green finance” and provides a reference for subsequent urban renewal decisions in combination with China’s actual cases.

Planning the Migration to a New Database: Implications for the Collections of Meise Botanic Garden

Established in 1796, the Meise Botanic Garden has undergone multiple changes in nationality, name, focus, and locations. These changes have impacted its herbarium, living collections, and associated data. The way specimens are filed in the herbarium varies according to specimen type, taxonomic group and historical importance. Pragmatic solutions were used in the past for dealing with the divergent collections and their users' specific needs. There are at least 15 filing systems used at the Botanic Garden at present. In 2015, funding facilitated the digitization of 1.2 million herbarium specimens. A follow-on project in 2018 digitzed another 1.4 million specimens. Together with other initiatives, like the Global Plants Initiative, we have more than 2.7 million imaged specimens, representing about 77% of our herbarium collections. Of the imaged specimens, 89% have minimal data (barcode, species name, collector(s), collector number, collection date, country and locality), while the remaining 11% still need the metadata captured from the scanned images (mostly being done through the crowdsourcing project DoeDat). In 2023, a call to tender was started for a new Collection Management System (CMS) as part of the Distributed System of Scientific Collections (DiSSCo) Flanders*1 project. This call for tender was compiled in consultation with various natural history institutions, botanic gardens and museums in Belgium. At present, we are in the process of evaluating the various tenders. As part of the preparation to migrate the data from our present database to the new database, data gaps are being filled and data is being cleaned where possible. This will facilitate the migration from one system to another. This is particularly important for fields relating to taxonomy, countries and collectors, as these have implications for the physical location of specimens in the herbarium. In the past months, much time has been dedicated to linking specimens to the taxon table. At present fewer than 0.6% of specimens with a filing name (the scientific name under which the specimen is filed in the herbarium cupboards) remain to be linked to the taxon table. The use of the Taxonomic Name Resolution Service helped to resolve some of the issues associated with unlinked names. Many of the remaining unlinked names are names of infraspecific taxa (which are not yet in the taxon table), orthographic variations, or names of commercial cultivars or hybrids. However, this does not include the 11% of the specimens without data mentioned above. The number of specimens lacking a country code is 7%. The African Herbarium, which represents about a third of the specimens at the Botanic Garden, is sorted according to species, country and collector. Resolving missing country codes would facilitate the curatorial process for this collection. Likewise, 6% of specimen data only have collectors as free-text that still needs to be linked to the standardised collectors table. Atomizing and linking these collector strings would also ease the migration to a new CMS. In 2015, a master plan was also drawn up for the physical renovation of the Garden, including the herbarium's infrastructure. Work on the herbarium is planned for 2025, but is contingent on funding. The CMS will form a crucial part of this move as specimens will be reclassified. As is mentioned above, there are several classification systems used at the Botanic Garden. The African and Belgian collections currently follow Mabberley (1997) for angiosperms. This system is no longer up-to-date, and we are considering moving to APG IV (Angiosperm Phylogeny Group) system for flowering plants. For example, the 213 genera present at the Botanic Garden for the family Liliaceae sensu lato (Mabberley 1997) would resolve to 24 families in APG IV. As the specimens are arranged alphabetically by family and genus, this would mean a significant physical reorganization of specimens. The CMS will also be used to track the movement of the various collections. Once the new CMS has been chosen, we will have a better idea of what needs to be done in order to facilitate data migration. For example, linking our taxonomic names to external sources using their permanent identifiers (e.g., World Flora Online, International Plant Names Index, Global Biodiversity Information Facility, Index Fungorum, MycoBank, World Register of Marine Species) would allow us to track and maintain taxonomic changes more easily in the future. Importing the various permanent identifiers into our current database would be prone to inconsistencies as the existing fields are not fit for the purpose. A possible solution would be to manage this data externally and import them into the new CMS. A similar approach could be followed with collectors and Wikidata permanent identifiers. We hope to develop a pragmatic approach with practical solutions.

IMPLEMENTASI PROGRAM BEDAH POJOK BACA KELAS UNTUK MENINGKATKAN LITERASI SISWA DI SEKOLAH DASAR

The lack of availability of adequate classroom reading corners and attracting students' attention has an impact on students' reading interest. This activity aims to implement the Class Reading Corner Surgery Program as an effort to improve student literacy in elementary schools. The method used is a participatory approach through collaboration between the activity implementation team, teachers, and students. The first phase was conducted an initial survey to evaluate the existing condition of the reading corner and based on the survey results, the reading corner surgery program was designed by involving physical renovation, procurement of new books, and development of interesting activities to improve students' interest and reading skills. The results of this program show a positive impact on significantly improving student literacy in elementary schools. After going through the process of renovation and procurement of books, the reading corner in the classroom becomes more interesting and comfortable for students. This Class Reading Corner Surgery Program not only focuses on the physical aspect, but also pays attention to the development of students' reading interest and reading skills. With this program, it is expected that students' literacy in elementary schools can increase significantly, having a positive impact on their learning and development.

Cultivating a Patient-Centered Environment (CAPE): Renovations in Long-Term Chronic Care

Achieving institutional goal of full, person-centered care was encumbered by an outdated structural “hospital model” at one long-term care facility that undertook building renovations, transforming long hallways into “neighborhood” of compact households. Quality of Life Survey and Long-term Care Minimum Data Set generated data at baseline and 1-year follow-up, comparing renovated(RU) and non-renovated unit(NRU) residents (n=36) to evaluate achievement of person-centered care. RU residents indicating they could “eat when I want” increased 75% to 81% at follow-up and decreased 17% for NRU residents. Sixty-seven percent of RU residents reported bathing “when they want” in contrast to 40% of NRU residents. Most RU residents agreed, “staff act on my suggestions.”More RU residents (68% vs 53%) agreed: “I spend time with other like-minded residents” and more RU residents (86% vs 43%) reported opportunity to explore new skills, interests. RU residents more often reported (50% vs 37%) “people ask for my help or advice.” Similar differences were observed with “it is easy to make friends here,” 67% RU residents responding affirmatively. RU residents reporting “feeling down” improved, moving from 46% to 50% disagreeing with this item with while increased number of NRU residents (18% to 22%) reported “feeling down” at follow-up.Improvement with independent performance of bed mobility, transfer, walking, and dressing among RU residents was observed while NRU residents had decreased percentages of independence. Evaluation of resident outcomes demonstrated improvement with personal choice, activities, personal relationships, functional independence and mood. Physical unit renovations appear to enhance implementation of person-centered care model.

The Spirit of Time—The Art of Self-Renovation to Improve Indoor Environment in Cultural Heritage Buildings

The purpose of this paper is to explore the challenges of an old low-standard urban district with a strong historical and cultural heritage and propose more sustainable renovation solutions, acceptable for the residents and municipality. The challenges of physical renovation or refurbishment are complex due to poor condition of the buildings, municipal ownership and governance, mixed management with community and low rents, which are insufficient to cover the costs. The paper discusses the proposed solutions of living standards, supported by the research in two directions: (i) available resources and reuse of materials, (ii) developing a renovation guidance for inhabitants from the building physics perspective, including indoor environment quality. Challenges related to energy efficiency are addressed from the decision-making perspective to overcome the barrier of lack of motivation to invest in energy-efficient measures at the individual and community level. The interdisciplinary approach complements engineering-focused studies with a focus on the comfort conditions and the influence of occupant habits in sustainable buildings. The methods used were literature review, case studies with observations and survey, looking to cover all technical, social, and historical aspects of sustainable renovation of cultural heritage buildings with the same level of importance. Results show that to keep a sustainable, low-cost urban living model, instructions for self-renovation are a valuable guidance for non-professional actors to make more sustainable choices. In conclusion, we can emphasize that inhabitants are accustomed to lower living standards, so the project is aimed to present the proper solutions for improvement as a balance between new sustainable technical solutions, personal self-renovation skills, habits, and health.

Sebuah Nama: Masjid Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin I Jayo Wikramo

“What’s in a name?”, the phrase popularized by William Shakepeare, is often used by many people. However, this is not approriate when it’s related to historical fact such as what happened with the changing name of A great mosque in Palembang. This study aims at describing the history of the changing name of that mosque. This research used historical method which consists of heuristic, criticsm, interpretation and historiography. The results shows that the mosque, built in 1738 by Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin I (titled Jayo Wikramo) called by Sulton Mosque, was built by adopting various cultures that were reflected in its architecture, and underwent several renovations. Not only physical renovation, but also the changing name. In 2019, the plant to change the name of this mosque attracted protest from community. However, it was finally agreed that the new name of the Great Mosque of Palembang, namely the Mosque of Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin I Jayo Wikramo. Based on historical notes, there are three names that have been used on this mosque, namely Masjid Sulton, Masjid Agung and Masjid Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin I Jayo Wikramo. Keywords: Mosque, Naming, Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin I Jayo Wikramo, Palembang

From communism to capitalism: Tallinna Kaubamaja – Estonia's department store

ABSTRACT Tallinna Kaubamaja opened its door in July 1960, and is the oldest and largest (in terms of sales) department store in Estonia. Tallinna Kaubamaja (Estonian for ‘Tallinn Trading House’, but known in English as Tallinn's Department Store), has gone through a number of changes over the past sixty years, both in terms of physical renovations, but also in terms of management and retail practices. Tallinna Kaubamaja is an exemplar of one of the few traditional department stores that had opened during the Soviet period, continued to exist during the re-independence period in the early 1990′s, the privatization period in the mid 1990s, and a period of expansion and greater competition through the first two decades of the twenty-first century. The focus of this historical review is to address the following questions; how did this traditional department store manage to succeed for six plus decades through such change, and what is the legacy of being a Soviet era store located in country that was vehemently opposed to being a Republic in the USSR?

Theory to practice: How the City of Utrecht develops a Health and Equity in all Policies approach

Abstract Introduction We witness an increase in Health in All Policies approaches worldwide. In Utrecht this inter-sectoral and multi-level governance approach is strong since several years. Utrecht has made progress in linking spatial challenges with social challenges, aiming for healthy urban living for all. An example is social renovation, in which social housing corporations combine physical renovation with social programs in Overvecht, the most socio-economically deprived neighbourhood in Utrecht. The project addresses social determinants of health, such as income, education and employment, and subsequently improvement of health of the residents. Methods In April 2020, social renovation of an apartment building of around 180 households will start. During the exploration phase, community workers carry out door-to-door visits. This forms the basis for community development activities and provides the possibility to refer residents directly to professional assistance. After one year, the actual renovation starts. Following, new residents are purposely selected and assigned to the newly renovated flats that have been vacated during the process. Results Impact of the social renovation process on health and health determinants will be evaluated. The door-to-door visits are used to interview the residents about their wellbeing, stress, mental and physical health condition, sense of mastery, financial problems, perceived safety, and social and physical living environment. Interviews will be repeated during the community development phase (after six months), and just before the start of the physical renovation (after one year). Discussion Social renovation aims to contribute to and preferably improve residents' personal living conditions and social living environment, instead of just improving their housing conditions. Lessons learned from this process will inspire replication and upscaling in other neighbourhoods.

Environmental Consideration For Physical Housing Improvement In Bukit Kencana Jaya Semarang

So far, economic factors dominate the reasons for doing physical renovation activities of the houses. This means that the more stable the condition of the household economy, the physical improvement activities will be more likely to be conducted. This study investigates how the physical changes of the house are carried out at each stage of the family life cycle in Bukit Kencana Jaya Semarang. The four stages in family life cycle are single families, families without children, families with children and elderly families. Furthermore, this study also analyse what are the environmental considerations that influence the physical changes made. The method used is survey research, with the distribution of questionnaires to 60 respondents in 5 different types of houses. This research confirms that house physical change activities are household sustainability strategies to improve quality of life and achieve well-being. Proximity to environment facilities and location attachment to neighbourhood became the main environmental considerations findings. This research output supports the objective of Sustainable Development Goals number 3 about health and well- being, and Sustainable Development Goals number 11 on sustainable communities.

Swedish House Owners’ Intentions Towards Renovations: Is there a Market for One-Stop-Shop?

In this paper, we examine factors affecting owners’ intention for renovation of their detached houses. Furthermore, we analyze their interest in choosing a one-stop-shop (OSS) service for the renovation, even though such a concept is not yet established in Sweden, but emerging in other parts of Europe. Our study is based on responses to an online questionnaire survey of 971 house owners residing in Kronoberg Region in Sweden. About 76% of the respondents intend to renovate in the near future, with approximately 71% of them preferring to renovate individual components of their dwelling and 5% to renovate their whole house in steps. House owners of younger age, higher income, higher education, and those with an interest for environmental issues, were the ones most interested in physical renovations, which improves energy efficiency of the building. For those house owners, one-stop-shop can facilitate the decision-making process, and help them to choose those measures that will improve their quality of life. Approximately 20% of the respondents had a positive view towards an one-stop-shop, which is an indicator that market for such a service exists. Parameters such as quality of work, cost and energy savings and specification of measures to be adopted are the key for the promotion of one-stop-shop. Additionally, house owners want to have a certain level of involvement in the selection of actors performing the renovation. Moreover, financial incentives, e.g., loans, do not play a significant role for the selection of one-stop-shop, but act as complementary motive for house owners.

Project management in higher education: a grounded theory case study

PurposeThis paper analyzes project and portfolio management within a major research library, while it was undergoing a complete physical renovation and reinvention of programs and services. This is a complex, almost 100-million-dollar undertaking that implemented a project management (PM) methodology known as portfolio management. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the implementation and management of this process and provide a brief overview on project and portfolio management as a discipline. Additionally, it provides strengths and weaknesses as well as recommendations when implementing PM.Design/methodology/approachThe analysis uses a qualitative research methodology case study with a theoretical foundation of inductive grounded theory. The case study is based primarily on seven interviews of project managers who are involved with the project. It also uses document analysis to assist in triangulating the findings and provide a contextual overview of a complex process. A number of themes emerged into overall categories and findings.FindingsThe key takeaways were the perceived strengths and weaknesses of the process. The strengths were improved communication and transparency, improved organization and documentation and formal decision-making process and resource allocation. The weaknesses were the hammer and the nail problem, the tools and paperwork, rigidity and the lack of agility within the process. This study also describes the process in detail and gives recommendations for improving the methods implemented in similar circumstances.Originality/valueThis paper analyzes strategic management concepts from an empirical grounded theory approach and real-world perspective with key recommendations.

Physical vs. Aesthetic Renovations: Learning from Swedish House Owners

In this paper, we identify the socio-economic attributes and attitudes that have influenced house owners in renovating their homes in the past. Our study is based on responses to an online questionnaire survey of 971 house owners living in Kronoberg County in Sweden. Results showed that the interest and willingness of the house owners to perform a renovation varied depending on their demographic background and the age of the house. The latter positively affected past renovations, only when combined with the residence time. Furthermore, the age of house owners strongly and positively affected the probability of performing aesthetic type of renovations, because of a long time of residence in the house. Younger, town living, and highly educated house owners seem to be more concerned regarding saving energy, which motivated them to perform physical renovations on their house. Our results also suggest that income, level of education, and place of residence have an effect on renovation decisions only through their effect on the energy concern of house owners, and a varied effect on renovation decisions, when combined with the time of residence in the house.

JINHUA MEMORIAL PARK IN SUINING

Observation and representation are the fundamental and core processes and methods in landscape design. By transforming a historical industrial site into an urban cultural park for citizens’ recreational needs, the Jinhua Memorial Park in the Suining City demonstrates how landscape designers observe and represent in post-industrial renewal practice. Designers continuously deepen their understanding of the site through a process from site observation and perception, research and exploration to systematic analyses. During this process, designers were inspired by the industrial production process and textile products, and then applied such concepts in spatial arrangement and prototype for physical renovation. As the skeleton of spatial arrangement, the main road of the campus connects various functional spaces and landscape nodes of the park. Five design strategies, including in-situ preservation, transposition retention, material reuse, appearance protection, and spiritual revitalization, are applied to protect and reorganize the industrial heritages to recall the past prosperous scenes. Landscape design approaches, intuitive or implicit, are adopted to tie up the past, present, and future of the site while making a park that meets the needs of all kinds of users.

Multi-Criteria Decision Support System for Green Commercial Space Design

Commercial space features essential characteristics of attracting clients and creating profits; thus, the exterior and interior designs of conventional commercial space were often made to look grandiose and overdecorated. Over time, according to commercial attributes, operator preferences, and style of the designer, commercial spaces have constantly undergone renovation into varied styles. However, the physical renovation processhas caused multiple and composite types of environmental pollution, such as waste and noise pollution caused by breaking of walls or partitions, anddecorative paint pollution, as well as the use of high-energy-consuming lighting equipment, air-conditioning systems, and decorative materials. Global pollution has caused climate change, endangering living organismsand human life. Furthermore, no effective method exists to control the problem of high greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, this study used energy-saving design concerns of a garden-type commercial space to propose an energy-saving evaluation model. The study combined three methodologies, the Delphi method, analytic hierarchy process, and fuzzy logic theory, to construct a multi-criteria decision support system for designing green commercial spaces, and used the green spatial design of a garden café as an example to illustrate the high objectivity and adaptability of the proposed model in practical application. The study also used an international award-winning case to validate that the proposed model had practical value as a reference to support key design decisions.

Effects of chemical and physical grassland renovation on the temporal dynamics of organic carbon stocks and water‐stable aggregate distribution in a sandy temperate grassland soil

AbstractGrassland renovation can be done physically by ploughing or chemically using herbicides, but information on influences of grassland renovation on soil structure is scarce. Our objective was to compare physically and chemically renovated grasslands and to quantify temporal variations of soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks, water‐stable aggregates and SOC stored in different aggregate fractions. Soil samples were taken on a sandy soil before (T0), 6 days (T6_days), 2 (T2_mo), 7 (T7_mo) and 12 months (T12_mo) after grassland renovation and in permanent grassland. Neither grassland renovation practice led to SOC losses in 0–10 cm after 12 months. The physical renovation led to an increase in microaggregates (53–250 μm) in the surface soil between T0 and T6_days and to highest microaggregate concentrations in T2_mo and T7_mo. Therefore, ploughing seems to have direct negative effects on macroaggregates (10 mm–250 μm) followed by indirect longer‐lasting negative effects which were nullified after 1 year. Chemical renovation resulted in no different aggregate distribution than permanent grassland. Strong temporal variations in aggregate distribution were found especially for large macroaggregates with lowest concentrations in T6_days and 6.7‐ to 10.2‐fold higher concentrations in T2_mo. A linear regression suggested that the soil gravimetric moisture content might have caused this observation.

Strategi Pengembangan Pasar Daerah Berbasis Komoditas Unggulan

Regional markets, including traditional markets that are now turned into people's markets, are certain areas where buyers and sellers meet, both directly and indirectly, through the process of buying and selling various types of consumer goods through bargaining which is also a market developed and managed by the regency government or city in Indonesia. People's market focal points can be observed from their influence on the fulfillment of small people's livelihoods. That is why the people's market is a pillar of people's economy.
 The purpose of this study is to formulate a strategy for developing regional markets in Pasuruan Regency to improve the community's economy based on regional superior commodities. This research is a field research using a descriptive quantitative approach. This research was conducted in 14 regional markets in the Pasuruan Regency administrative region and 5 village markets
 The analysis shows that several factors are the strengths and weaknesses of traditional markets in Pasuruan Regency. The most prominent strength factor is that all of the markets sampled in this study are located in strategic locations. Whereas the most prominent weaknesses are lack of adequate sanitation (drainage is not functioning properly, bathroom, and toilet conditions, clean water is not all available, market disinfection has not been carried out, not yet free of vector / star of infectious diseases. Pasuruan Regency needs to revitalize traditional markets, namely physical renovations of market buildings, and accompanied by institutional building.
