Abstract

The decline of traditional markets has led to sluggish local economy, which in turn has had an adverseeffect on the national competitiveness. In response to issue, the government enacted a special law for theactivation of traditional markets and has provided active support, while switching legal hierarchy from thelaw in time limits to the law in ordinary times. This study was intended to analyze the degree of activation of traditional market support projectspromoted by the government for more than a decade based on the form of the merchant organization. To this end, a research was performed using common elements, activation factors and five forms of themerchant organization classified and examined by store management status survey of the Small andMedium Business Administration as data. According to the analysis results, the shopping district association showed the highest average score inmarket size as a common element, and private organization not controlled nor protected by law as for thesize of commercial supremacy. In the case of the location, registered merchant association is situated inlarge city, and the registered merchant association showed the highest average score in the land area andfloor space, and cooperative business association in the total floor area. In this regard, this study suggests an implication that a more formalized and structured form of themerchant organization which manages and operates traditional markets will contribute to a sustainablemarket activation.
