Study of Spatial Pattern Distribution of Traditional Markets to Modern Markets in Surakarta City

Abstract

Population growth will encourage the development of economic development in a region. The trade sector, which continues to develop with the growth of trading facilities in traditional and modern markets, will create a pattern of distribution of trading points. Surakarta has 44 traditional markets and 88 modern markets as trading facilities. The market locations are spread across five districts. This study examines the spatial distribution pattern of traditional markets to modern markets in Surakarta City, using the Average Nearest Neighbor (ANN) analysis method with the help of ArcMap 10.8 software as a data processing tool. The results obtained in this study are that the pattern of distribution of traditional markets throughout Surakarta was included in the random pattern category, with a value of Nearest Neighbor Ratio = 1.020146. Meanwhile, the distribution pattern of the modern market was included in the clustered pattern category, with the Nearest Neighbor Ratio = 0.789121. Banjarsari sub-district was the area with the most trading facilities. The highest population and total area among other sub-districts in Surakarta City drove this.
