In some cities in Indonesia adopted this global issue in the form of a policy of reducing the use of plastic bags. Banjarmasin city is one of the cities in Indonesia that produces a policy of reducing the use of plastic bags in malls, mini markets, supermarkets and traditional markets Research methods used qualitative approaches phenomenological variants with interactive model data analysis. The results showed the development of the number of traditional markets that experienced rapid development as much as 81 pieces spread across 5 sub-districts in Banjarmasin city. The increase in the number of traditional markets is in line with the increasing population growth so that there is a difference in the distribution of traditional markets in the 5 sub-districts. Since the policy of the Banjarmasin City Government in 2016 until now has failed the policy of reducing the use of plastic bags in traditional markets. This condition is due to the existence of constraint factors in the implementation of municipal government policies that include structural factors in the city government environment and traditional market communities.
