The pop-up market in Gampong Lhongcut, Banda Raya Subdistrict, Banda Aceh, continues to thrive as a mainstay for local residents. Despite operating for only about two hours each morning, this community market has proven its resilience by enduring for more than 10 years.
The success of this pop-up market stems from the active role of local youth who manage it independently. This youth-led initiative also enjoys full support from the gampong government to drive the local economy.
