Persaingan Pasar Tradisional serta Dampaknya Terhadap Pembangunan Ekonomi di kota Probolinggo

Abstract

This study explores the tradisional competition and it's effect to the economic development in Kanigaran, Probolinggo. Using qualitative methods, including interviews and field observations of 25 business units, the research reveals that Warung Madura operates with strong family-based management, flexible pricing, and 24-hour service. These features position them as adaptive micro-enterprises that fulfill the urgent and varied needs of urban communities. Their presence enhances economic resilience while subtly reshaping competition with traditional markets. Social trust-based transactions, such as delayed payments, also show their dual economic and sociocultural roles. Findings suggest that Warung Madura not only sustains family economies but also supports inclusive urban growth.
