Minangkabau has a strong reputation as an entrepreneur society, mainly based on their involvement in trade (galeh). This society created some famous trading cities along with the east coast of Sumatera that has been thriving as homes of diverse culture, and Pariaman City as one of them. As a trading city, there are various marketplaces across Pariaman and its surrounding that influenced from this mixed culture. By the qualitative method and descriptive approach, the purpose of this study is to examine the distribution of marketplaces and how the specific local wisdom creates their level of traditionalism. Field observations and some in-depth interviews were held to identify how the kinship system may affect their trade networking at each marketplace. The type of Minangkabau markets is determined by the variety of its commodities, which is defined by their stall owner. The owner who inherits their stalls sells local and traditional commodities because they have strong relationships and also the obligation with their kinship. The owner who bought independently can sell various products freely. The “Balai days” event brings together the Minangkabau sellers (rantau and darek) is the principal identity of the traditional Minangkabau market across Pariaman area. The more traditional market, the less-strategic area it places, and the less traditional is the reverse.

Minangkabau 作为一个企业家社会享有盛誉，主要基于他们对贸易的参与（galeh）。这个社会在苏门答腊东海岸创造了一些著名的贸易城市，作为多元文化的家园，帕里亚曼城就是其中之一。作为一个贸易城市，帕里亚曼及其周边地区有各种受这种混合文化影响的市场。通过定性方法和描述性方法，本研究的目的是检验市场的分布以及特定的地方智慧如何创造其传统主义水平。进行了实地观察和一些深入访谈，以确定亲属关系系统如何影响他们在每个市场的贸易网络​​。Minangkabau 市场的类型取决于其摊位所有者定义的商品种类。继承他们的摊位的所有者出售当地和传统商品，因为他们有牢固的关系以及与他们的亲属关系的义务。独立购买的业主可以自由销售各种产品。“Balai days”活动汇聚了米南加保卖家（rantau和darek ) 是Pariaman 地区传统Minangkabau 市场的主要特征。越传统的市场，它所放置的战略区域就越少，而越不传统的市场则相反。
