Abstract: Abstract By employing the McNemar Test, this study aims to determine the behavior of traders. More precisely, this study measures the behavior of traders through changing/non-changing attitudes after conducting dialogue between traders and the government concerning the trader’s relocation agenda. The sample of this study took the case of relocating traders from the east to the west side of the Sidoarjo Main Market. Traders affected by relocation are divided into 4: vegetable traders, non-vegetable traders, male traders, and female traders. With the basic formulation of the McNemar Test X2hit = (|A-D|-1)2/(A + D), at a 5% significance level with 1 degree of freedom, it has a value of Chi-Square Table X2table = 3.84. Of the 4 measurements and tests in the 4 sample groups, 1 sample group concluded that the dialogue activity was effective enough to change traders’ attitudes. From ‘disagree’ to ‘agree’ or ‘agree’ to ‘disagree’. While the other 3 sample groups concluded that dialogue activities were ineffective enough to change traders’ attitudes. From ‘disagree’ to ‘agree’ or ‘agree’ to ‘disagree’. Meanwhile, the overall measurement and testing results show similar results from the 3 sample groups, which stated that dialogue was ineffective enough to change traders’ attitudes. In the end, traders moved to the new relocation area. Yet, it does not necessarily mean ‘agreeing to relocate’ but is more due to compulsion because several problems began to appear at the old place, mainly due to reduced quantity and quality of facilities as a carrying capacity in transactions.
