- Abstract
Street vendors choose locations in public spaces or state-owned spaces that are close to the main productive activities. In addition, street vendors also choose locations on roads that have a large quantity of movements. The city government then arranges the street vendors whose locations are often considered disturbing. The Surakarta City Government stabilizes those street vendors. Stabilization is done by moving street vendors to a public space, which is more convenient for both the street vendors and customers. The locations of stabilization can differ according to the street vendors’ characters and the availability of land. There are 7 out of 24 street vendors’ stabilization locations in Surakarta that are located around the settlement areas. Street vendors’ locations placed around the settlement areas have a different typology from those at other areas. Settlements with a wider range of activities trigger street vendors to provide more goods and more operational hours. This study aims to analyze the typology of the street vendors’ stabilization locations located near settlement areas. This study uses a descriptive qualitative analysis to identify the typology of the street vendors' stabilization locations near the settlement areas. The results show that Surakarta has unique street vendors’ stabilization locations. The street vendors’ stabilization locations around settlement areas are mostly in the neighborhood of roads. Settlement areas encourage a very high movement of community activities. People keep leaving to work or to do some activities outside their settlements, and then they will always return to their settlement areas. Community activities passing across these street vendors’ stabilization locations make the existence of the street vendors feel very beneficial to the community in meeting their needs even though they are located in the neighborhood of roads.
