Abstract

Environmental infrastructure planning that is effective and appropriate plays an important role in increasing the productivity of fishing communities and supporting sustainable regional development. Kampung Nelayan Seberang Belawan, where the majority of residents depend on the fisheries sector, requires better environmental infrastructure planning to support fishing activities and improve community welfare. This study aims to analyze the existing infrastructure conditions, identify environmental infrastructure needs, and formulate appropriate strategies for environmental infrastructure planning to enhance fishermen's urgent productivity and support regional development. The research uses a qualitative method with a case study approach, interviews, and direct observation. The results show that the current environmental infrastructure is inadequate. Coastal protection infrastructure, such as wave barriers and mangrove planting, is crucial for maintaining environmental resilience and preventing damage caused by abrasion and natural disasters. Proper management of waste and domestic wastewater will also improve environmental quality and public health. The provision of better educational and health facilities will improve the quality of life for fishing communities and create opportunities for a more creative and technologically literate younger generation. This has a positive impact on the environmental infrastructure planning of Kampung Nelayan Seberang in regional development. The planning of environmental infrastructure in Kampung Nelayan Seberang constitutes a strategic key in developing competitive coastal areas. The success of this arrangement greatly depends on multi-party collaboration, sustainable planning, and policy support for marginal areas. By maximizing strengths and opportunities and mitigating weaknesses and threats, this area can grow into an inclusive and productive community.

Abstract

Traditional markets play a central role in the local economic system and the social life of communities, particularly in Medan City. However, the dynamics of urbanization, competition from modern retail, and changes in consumer behavior have posed significant challenges to their sustainability. This study aims to analyze the relationship between the strategic location of traditional markets and their economic performance using a mixed-methods approach and spatial analysis. The research focuses on six traditional markets in Medan City: Petisah Market, Sukaramai Market, Beruang Market, Ikan Lama Market, Sei Sikambing Market, and Pringgan Market. Quantitative data were collected through questionnaires using a Likert scale and analyzed descriptively and correlationally, while qualitative data were gathered through field observations and in-depth interviews to interpret the socio-spatial context of each market. The key variables include accessibility, commodity diversity, and environmental comfort, which are linked to economic performance indicators such as visitor numbers, buyer loyalty, and sales stability. The results show that Petisah, Pringgan, and Ikan Lama Markets scored highest in these variables and demonstrated better economic performance. Correlation analysis identified commodity diversity as the most influential factor on economic performance, followed by environmental quality and accessibility. To strengthen the analysis, a SWOT model was also applied to identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats faced by traditional markets. This analysis reveals that the primary strengths of the markets lie in their location and social interaction, while the main challenges stem from a lack of modern management and pressure from digital markets. This study recommends development strategies based on local advantages, infrastructure modernization, market information digitalization, and cultural promotion as steps to sustainably enhance the competitiveness of traditional markets amid urban spatial changes.
