Traditional markets are an important component of the people’s economy and play a strategic role in supporting trading activities and community social life. The Government of Muaro Jambi Regency implemented a policy to relocate the Sengeti People’s Market to reorganize and improve the quality of trading facilities so they become more orderly, feasible, and representative. However, after relocation, market utilization has not functioned optimally, and various management problems persist. This study aims to analyze traditional market governance after relocation in Muaro Jambi Regency, using the Sengeti People’s Market as a case study. The research employs a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data were collected through field observations, in-depth interviews, and documentation, involving informants from the Trade Division of the Office of Cooperatives, SMEs, Industry, and Trade, as well as market managers, traders, and community members. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive qualitative techniques, including data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that post-relocation governance has not been optimally implemented. Key issues include weak policy communication, mismatches between facilities and traders’ needs, limited trader participation, and poor coordination among relevant agencies. The study highlights that successful market relocation depends not only on physical development but also on participatory, transparent, and sustainable governance, supported by stronger institutional coordination, increased trader involvement, and continuous evaluation.

This research aims to analyze the forms of legal protection for consumers in the case of illegal cosmetic circulation in the Traditional Market of Moluo Village, Kwandang District, North Gorontalo Regency, and to examine the roles of the Health Department and the Gorontalo Food and Drug Supervisory Agency (BBPOM) in supervising and guiding business actors. The research method used is empirical legal research with a non-doctrinal qualitative approach, thru interviews with sellers, consumers, and supervisory authorities, as well as field observations and document studies. The research results show that the majority of vendors in the market already understand the importance of a distribution permit from BPOM and choose to sell legal products, although in practice illegal cosmetics are still found due to high consumer demand for instant results. The main obstacle lies in consumers who are often aware of the dangers of illegal cosmetics but still purchase them. BPOM Gorontalo implements legal protection thru two channels: preventive measures such as socialization, education, and routine inspections, and repressive measures such as legal action in accordance with Article 435 of Law Number 17 of 2023 concerning Health. The implications of this research confirm the need for more comprehensive legal protection strategies with cross-agency collaboration, increased public legal literacy, and consumer empowerment to make them more critical in product selection.
