Membayangkan Kembali Tata Kelola Lingkungan di Pasar Tradisional: Penilaian Keberlanjutan Pasar Rumput dalam Pengembangan Berorientasi Transit di Jakarta, Indonesia

Traditional markets in urban Indonesia are vital socio-economic hubs yet remain plagued by chronic issues such as poor sanitation, inadequate waste management, and deteriorating infrastructure conditions that jeopardize public health and undermine economic resilience. This study critically examines the environmental governance of Pasar Rumput, a pioneering class-A traditional market integrated with transit-oriented development (TOD) and vertical housing in South Jakarta. Utilizing a mixed-method sequential explanatory design, the research engaged 531 participants, including traders, consumers, market operators, and government officials, through structured surveys, field observations, and in-depth interviews. Environmental management performance was assessed across six key domains: building condition, cleanliness, solid and liquid waste management, clean water availability, and market safety. Quantitative analysis showed a high overall mean score of 4.12 on a five-point scale, with market safety (4.35) and building condition (4.28) ranking highest, while waste management recorded the widest gap at 3.87, indicating targeted areas for improvement. Qualitative insights from 12 institutional stakeholders revealed systemic deficiencies, including fragmented inter-agency coordination, limited stakeholder accountability, and behavioral noncompliance among market actors. Unlike previous studies that isolate infrastructure or trader behavior, this research offers a transdisciplinary governance framework, MITRA-PASAR (Management Integration for Traditional Market Sustainability and Resilience), which synthesizes sustainability theory, stakeholder theory, and environmental performance benchmarking. The proposed model promotes upstream waste management, cross-sector collaboration, and institutional reinforcement aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). By situating traditional market governance within the spatial complexity of a TOD, this study contributes novel insights into the interdependence of environmental, institutional, and behavioral systems in dense urban economies. The findings generate actionable recommendations for policy reform, infrastructure planning, and governance innovation applicable to traditional markets in other developing urban contexts.
