The background of this study is that the community environment has not been maximised as a learning resource for students. Concepts of subject matter and social values such as social interaction have not yet been linked to the community conditions surrounding students. The purpose of this study is to describe the social activities of the traditional market community, to identify the social values and activities of the traditional market community as a source of social studies learning. The research method used is qualitative, with data sources from sellers, buyers, and security personnel at the Tegal Gubuk market. The data collection techniques used are observation and interviews. Data analysis uses data reduction, data display, and conclusions. The research results show the presence of social values and material social values in buying and selling activities. Vital social values occur in meeting the needs of the market community related to facilities such as places of worship, toilets, parking areas, and market management spaces. Spiritual social values include four aspects: truthfulness, such as the prices given to buyers; beauty, such as market cleanliness; goodness, such as honesty in buying and selling; and religiosity, such as religious activities during prayer times. Social activities include cooperation, mutual assistance, buying and selling, and social interaction. The social values and social activities of the Tegal Gubuk market community can be correlated with teaching materials. Keywords: Social values, social activities, learning resources
