Comparing Spatial Accessibility, Circulation, and Facilities in a Formal Market and an Informal Street Market in Teluk Naga, Tangerang Regency

Abstract

Kampung Melayu Market, managed by the Tangerang Regency Government, and Mutiara Garuda Complex Market, which has developed along a residential road, serve users through different spatial arrangements. This study compares their accessibility, circulation, trading-space configuration, and facilities using qualitative observations, interviews, and literature review. Kampung Melayu has direct access to angkot routes, internal corridors, and clearer commodity zoning, although pedestrian infrastructure around the site is limited and the assessment records gaps in loading and unloading, worship provision, and parking against the SNI 8152-2015 criteria cited in the study. Mutiara Garuda is less directly served by public transport and has no comparable set of formal facilities in the observed area. However, its roadside stalls are close to surrounding homes and allow customers to stop directly beside vendors. This convenience comes with conflicts between trading, customer stops, and through-traffic. The findings show that formal facilities and spatial order are important, but they do not alone explain how users choose a market. The available evidence does not establish that Mutiara Garuda’s presence caused the decline in activity at Kampung Melayu.
