Abstract

Karanganyar is one of the developing districts in central Java, in both the economic and health sectors. One of the economic and health developments that deserve special attention in Karanganyar is the number of traditional markets that have not implemented the concept of health and good sanitation. Unhealthy traditional markets have the potential to become a hotbed of infectious diseases that are harmful to the health of surrounding communities. Trade ministry data of 2017 mentions the number of markets in Indonesia at around 13,450 traditional markets with 12.625 billion traders. The results of preliminary observations indicate Malangjiwan Colomadu market included in the category of unhealthy market characterized by the number of puddles, slippery roads and animal carriers of diseases such as rats, cockroaches, mosquitoes and flies roaming around the market. Communication and occupational health training programs for traditional market traders are very important activities to teach market traders to prevent various diseases in traditional markets. Participants in this program include 23 market traders working in Pasar Malangjiwan Karanganyar area. The program is carried out using extension, communication and training methods by providing information and simulations of 3 topics covering clean and healthy living behaviours, waste sorting practices and 6-step handwashing practices.
