Traditional markets are public service facilities that can be utilized by the community. The market function is used place where sellers and buyers meet in conducting transactions. This study aims to build a machine learning classification analysis model in measuring community satisfaction with traditional market facilities. The analytical methods used include Fuzzy. multiple linear regression (MRL), artificial neural network (ANN), and decision tree (DT). Fuzzy is used to generate a pattern of rules in determining the level of satisfaction. MRL serves to measure and test the correlation of rules that have been formed. The ANN method is used to carry out the classification analysis process based on learning. In the final stage. DT is used to describe the decision tree of the analysis process. This study presents the results of machine learning analysis which is very good in determining satisfaction with an accuracy rate of 99.99%. This result is influenced by fuzzy logic which can develop a classification rule pattern of 32 patterns. MRL also shows a significant correlation level of 81.1% based on the indicator variables. Overall, the machine learning classification analysis model can provide knowledge to be considered in the management of traditional markets as public service facilities.

Market concentration of a public service is one of the factors influencing the risks associated with contracting out, as described by the principal-agent theory. A monopoly of the service producer (the agent) creates a space for enforcing the producers own interests but not those of a service provider (the principal), whose interest is to provide the public service effectively. Market concentration therefore affects the effectiveness of contracting out said service. The aim of the study is the identification of market concentration of the waste collection and disposal service as a factor affecting the cost effectiveness of contracting out and the contract management quality in the environment of Slovak municipalities. Market concentration is analyzed through a market concentration index, in this case the Herfindahl-Hirschman index. Findings of this study confirm the existence of a high market concentration of the service in the monitored municipalities.
