Article attempts to describe and explain in detail the changes in traders' behavior after Revitalization of Blok III Pasar Raya Padang. Informants were selected using purposive sampling technique and in data collection used observation techniques and in-depth interviews. The results showed an increasingly good physical market change such as the presence of merchant zoning, market floors that had been using ceramics, increasingly good lavatories, better prayer rooms, extensive merchant stalls, cleanliness and market security. Market changes bring changes in the behavior of traders both in serving buyers such as hours of going and going home trading, strategies to serve buyers and how to increase merchant merchant turnover. The better and more organized physical changes make the behavior of traders more orderly and cleaner. There are many ways for traders to dispose of trash, such as throwing trash into the trash can, putting it in a sack, and putting it next to the tavern so that it is not included. Market revitalization influences the relationship between traders before being revitalized which is increasingly distant due to the distance between old traders.
