Dinamika Pengelolaan Pasar Lubuk Alung sebagai Pasar Adat Dibawah pengelolaan Datuak Marajo 2018-2025

Abstract

Lubuk Alung Market is a market located in Lubuk Alung sub-district, Padang Pariaman,
West Sumatra. This market is known by the local people as Nagari Market, but in reality
Lubuk Alung Market is not a nagari market but a traditional market. This study aims to
analyze the customary leadership system implemented in the management of the Lubuk
Alung market by Datuak Marajo as the market head for 2019-2025, as well as to analyze
the parties involved in the management of the Lubuk Alung market. This research employs
a historical method with several stages: heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and
historiography. To obtain data, the author collected data from various official sources,
such as previous archives, newspapers, previous research, books, and articles, as well as
interviews with Datuak Marajo and other parties involved in the management of this
traditional market. The results of this study indicate that Lubuk Alung Market is a
traditional market that has been managed from generation to generation by traditional
figures who have a relationship with the ownership of the customary land where the market
stands. Datuak Marajo was the head of the Lubuk Alung market management, managing
it from 2019 to the present. During Datuak Marajo's tenure, the management of the
traditional market faced several challenges, including land preservation, fires, and a nearexecution
of the market. Datuak Marajo is the head of the Lubuk Alung market
management, managing the Lubuk Alung market from 2019 to the present. The
management of the traditional market during Datuak Marajo's reign faced several
challenges, such as land disputes, fires, and a near-execution of the market. These conflict
challenges certainly resulted in divisions between the Niniak Mamak who managed the
Lubuk Alung market, traders, KAI, and other parties. Datuak Marajo still leads the Lubuk
Alung market even though he only served for 5 years, but due to ongoing land disputes and
the absence of Datuak Marajo's nephew who could replace his leadership.
