CIRCULATION PATTERNS AND ZONING OF THE GUDANG LELANG FISH AUCTION PLACE, BANDAR LAMPUNG

Abstract

This study explores the role of Teluk Betung, a key sub-district in Bandar Lampung, as a commercial center and its impact on the local economy, with a focus on Pasar Gudang Lelang. Known for its thriving trade and strategic location near Pelabuhan Panjang, Teluk Betung offers a wide range of commodities, significantly contributing to the city's economic growth. Among its markets, Pasar Gudang Lelang is crucial for fish trade, using a tiered auction system that supports fair pricing and direct transactions between fishermen and traders. Its evolution from a dedicated fish market into a broader community hub reflects its importance for local commerce and daily life in Bandar Lampung.The research employed a descriptive qualitative method to analyze the spatial organization, circulation patterns, and user behavior at Pasar Gudang Lelang. Data collection included direct observation, interviews, and literature review, providing insights into the market’s layout and functionality. Findings reveal that while the market's linear circulation pattern facilitates navigation, there are issues such as congestion, inefficient zoning, and inadequate parking that hinder smooth movement and visitor comfort. Additionally, the integration of wet and dry zones needs improvement to maintain hygiene and better align with user needs.The study underscores the importance of thoughtful market design, including clear zoning, effective circulation paths, and improved wayfinding to enhance the market's functionality. These adjustments are crucial for preserving Pasar Gudang Lelang's role as a central trade hub while adapting to modern demands, ensuring its sustainability and continued relevance in Bandar Lampung's economic landscape.
