Abstract

This study aims to determine the characteristics of street vendors and what are the impacts of PKL activities on the use of public space in Losari Beach, Makassar City. For this reason, the author uses descriptive analysis method with a qualitative approach. Data were collected through field notes, in-depth personal interviews, direct observations and documentary reviews so as to triangulate the evidence. As in other cities, people in Makassar City choose locations to trade by utilizing the city's potential public space. In the activity of the street vendors, they use the public space of the city such as sidewalks, road bodies and the courtyard of shops. The use of public space has become a characteristic that is identical with the existence of street vendors. But on the other hand public spaces are also used by other user groups, which also require space for their activities in the public space. One of the main public spaces in the city of Makassar is the Losari beach that has been reclaimed and revitalized to increase public space which is cleaner and far from being slum, of course, contrary to the presence of street vendors. The existence of street vendors on the Losari beach platform that is not in accordance with its designation because it utilizes public space will have a social impact on the merchant itself and for other residents of the public space users..
