In market management, the DKI government takes a two-way approach. First, an infrastructure approach with infrastructure improvements and additions, a program to rearrange market conditions in 2022, greeting traders once a week, gotong royong with associations, and exercising with market traders. Second, the non-physical approach is the application of regional regulations and mayoral regulations. This has an impact on the welfare of the people of Yogyakarta.
