[email protected] 2 Computer Science Faculty, Universitas Bhayangkara Jakarta Raya, Kota Jakarta Selatan, Daerah Khusus Ibukota Jakarta 12550, Indonesia; [email protected] Abstract: The obligation to keep a distance from other people due to the pandemic has changed human life patterns, especially in shopping for their primary needs, namely food. The presence of the food marketplace presents new hope in maintaining health and food availability without crowding with other people while shopping. The main problem that is often a concern of the public when shopping online is transaction security and the Ease of use of this food marketplace applica- tion. This research is the intensity of using the Food Marketplace in terms of Interest, transaction security, and Ease of use of this application.Researchers analyzed the relationship between varia- bles with the Structural equation model. Respondents who became this sample were 300 applica- tion users spread across various major cities in Indonesia.This study's results provide a view that the intensity of the food marketplace's use has increased significantly during the new normal life.

  • Mandaluyong City, Philippines
    MANDALUYONG CITY, PHILIPPINES Case Study (Public Buildings) Project Summary: Manila, the capital of the Republic of the Philippines, has the eighteenth largest metropolitan area in the world, which includes fifteen cities and two municipalities. Mandaluyong City is the smallest city of the cities in Metro Manila, with an area of only twelve square kilometers and a population of over 278,000 people. A public market was located in the heart of Mandaluyong City, on a 7,500 square meters area along Kalentong Road, a main transit route. In 1991, the market was destroyed in a major fire, in large part because most of the structure was made of wood. As a temporary answer for the displaced vendors, the government allowed about 500 of them to set up stalls along the area’s roads and sidewalks. This rapidly proved to be impractical, in that it led to both traffic congestion and sanitation problems. Rebuilding the public market became a high priority for the city government, but financing a project with an estimated cost of P50 million was beyond the city’s capability. Local interest rates were high, averaging approximately 18 percent annually, and the city was not prepared to take on the additional debt that construction of a new market would have required. The city government was also concerned that if the charges to stall owners became too onerous, the increased costs would have to be passed on to their customers, many of whom were lower-income residents of the area. The answer to this problem that the city government decided to utilize was based on the Philippines’ national Build-Operate-Transfer law of 1991.
