摘要

This paper proposes a novel approach to place branding by conceptualizing Surakarta’s traditional markets as a multi-nodal distribution-based branding network. Drawing from spatial analysis, supply-chain mapping, and stakeholder engagement across 44 markets in Surakarta, the study uncovers how distribution-linkage dynamics create interdependent relationships that go beyond commerce. These inter-market linkages are reframed as identity-building assets that enable a networked strategy for internal place branding. The model emphasizes grassroots connectivity, communal narrative, and logistical interdependence. By constructing a governance prototype rooted in distribution-supply coordination, the paper presents a framework in which markets function not only as economic spaces but also as embedded cultural symbols that represent the city’s distinct identity. The findings offer a replicable method for cities aiming to leverage internal market systems for sustainable, participatory, and culturally grounded branding initiatives.
