Bobby Ardiansyahmiraja, Jun Kajee, Irene Dyah Ayuwati

This study aims to estimate the number of traditional coffee shops, known locally as "Warung Kopi" or "Warkop," in Surabaya, Indonesia. Traditional coffee shops play a significant role in the daily social and economic life of Indonesian communities but have received little attention in academic research. This paper utilizes a straightforward geospatial analysis technique to map and estimate the number of these establishments within Surabaya. Using Python for random geographic sampling within the city's administrative boundaries and the Google Places API for identifying relevant coffee shops, this research provides an initial count of Warung Kopi, estimating there to be between 17,000 and 27,000 in the city. This simple yet effective approach offers a replicable method for similar studies in other contexts, providing insights into the scale of informal economies in urban areas.
