This study views street vendors as public issues which are related to the conflict over public spaces between the government and the street vendors. The conflict was derived from differences in the interpretation and meaning of public spaces. The government has visions of order in the city and tries to control the street vendor in public place. However, the street vendors interpret public place as a strategic place to conduct their business and try to defend their existence in it. The differences in interpretation encouraged the birth of street vendor movement in Bandung. This research employed social movement concept to describes how street vendors try to construct their identities, build up the strength of their organization/association, frame and disseminate issues, and establish some coalitions. It used a qualitative method with case study research by attaining some cases of street vendors in Bandung and observing their news through newspaper and online media between 2015-2016, as well as conducting some interviews with key informants. The data collected through participative observation, thorough interview with street vendors, municipal government, street vendors’ organizations/associations, and focus group discussion. This research showed that the process of identity construction is carried out informally through kinship system. Furthermore, the street vendors built their movement based on issues of unjust policy which is supported by right to seek livelihood, marginalization issue, and limited access to formal economic sectors. These issues become their justification to maintain their business in public places and their efforts to go against government interpretation of public places which become their foundation to formulate policies about street vendors. Lastly, to strengthen their bargaining position against the government, they establish three types of coalition; political coalition, political-economy coalition, and economy coalition.

Most of the literature focusing on the work and aspirations of women has been produced by and about a western environment and context. Comparatively little literature has been produced within the sphere of management studies about the particular issues facing women in the developing world in terms of their aspirations, work-life balance and general operational issues of their work lives. Among the problems facing Nepalese women wishing to work outside the house are the issues of being seen in public and interacting with strangers in public places, while retaining the perception of being decent and respectable. Some public spaces are considered suitable for women to occupy and the nature of these can vary because of the powerful caste, class and ethnicity issues that colonise Nepalese society. This includes the work of street vendors and other entrepreneurs. Data is provided by personal interviews as well as ethnographic observation. This provides recommendations for both the women involved and also public policy. Keywords: entrepreneurs, female entrepreneurs, Nepal, public space

The Relationship

Singapore is known to have a citizenry loyal to its one-party dominated government. Cherian George refers Singapore as the “Air-conditioned Nation,” wherein free speech is sacrificed for economic stability in this metaphorical or virtual greenhouse and fostered a controlled and docile politic. Dissent from members of registered opposition parties or ordinary citizens, however, has been voiced during “illegal gatherings” in public places. Many of these attempts, both purposeful and accidental, challenge rules designed to limit the citizenry’s ability to voice publicly. In this paper, I examine these civil disobedient acts under the framework of construction and politics of socially- and mentally-constructed space in connection to the laws of Singapore. Utilizing the ideas of space as defined by Henri Lefebvre and Michel Foucault, I analyze three separate accounts of assembly and/or procession. I identify the relevant laws of Singapore and examine how these laws are interpreted and applied by law enforcement, revealing a tension between space and the body politic. Politics of space is a concept usually connected to social class; yet, class consciousness is what the Singaporean government strives to eliminate through the control of ideology and by limiting the freedom of speech in public spaces. My contribution examines the relationship between space and politics, reflecting the conflicts between the government, which has the power over the use of places and citizens who would like to express ideas differently from governmental-led ideologies physically and publicly in these places, and the opposition’s actions in this virtually-caged public space named Singapore.

Street vendors in Pati Simpang Lima area are invading urban public spaces with increasing number. While providing job opportunities, their unregulated existence reduces the level of service of the public spaces and has starting to create environmental problems. The study examines the street vendors’ activity characteristics, space and infrastructure availability, seller and customer preference and the local government’s policy on street vendors. The study identified that the availability of open public space in Pati Simpang Lima area have attracted the increase of street vendor activities. There is a growing need for infrastructure such as parking spaces, public toilets and waste related infrastructure. There has not been any local government regulation let alone innovative approaches to street vendor activities in either socio‐cultural, economic nor normative terms. The direction was to physically regulate the street vendor area in terms of vendor space allocation, business times regulations and infrastructure. The lack of space in the area has imposed a need for relocation for some of the vendors to a new place such as Jalan Penjawi, with adequate supply of infrastructure. In terms of policy, there should be legalization and limitation of the number of street vendors using socio‐cultural, economic and normative models.
