Abstract: Exclusive policy of traditional market building for indigeneous inhabitants in Papua has the aim to
overcome the economic gap between the indigeneous and non indigeneous inhabitants in Papua. The
market is built by the regional government as a concern towards the native traders of Papua who
have no proper place to trade. Most of the trade is authorized by enterpreneurs from outside Papua.
This research is aimed to analyze the effects of the policy. The method of the research used
qualitative approach through field study. The result of the research shows that after the policy was
implemented, there are more unexpected effects. The policy is expected to develop the native traders
of Papua and avoid the authority of traders from outside Papua. However, the policy cannot be
implemented as well. Market is mostly dominated by the traders from outside Papua |
