Analysis and Policy Design of Street Vendors Management in Bandar Lampung
Abstract. Street vendors (PKL)
are common phenomena in urban areas all around the world, including in
Indonesia. Bandar Lampung, as one of big cities in Indonesia, also has street
vendor phenomenon. Some consider PKL illegal, yet some others perceive its
existence as a way to overcome unemployment and poverty. Despite the different
views, PKL is often considered as a source of urban problems by some regional
governments in Indonesia, including Bandar Lampung Municipal Government. The
research aims to analyze PKL phenomenon in Bandar Lampung and alternative
policy issued to overcome PKL problems. The research result shows that the
emergence of PKL in Bandar Lampung is caused by several factors, such as
survival factor, lack of capital for running formal-sector business, reason of
fulfilling educational needs, lack of employment, difficult bureaucracy,
temporary job, lineages, and as a true profession. Based on the arguments and
facts proposed, Bandar Lampung government must design a better policy to better
accommodate PKL.
