Street vendors in Pati Simpang Lima area are invading urban public spaces with increasing number. Whileproviding job opportunities, their unregulated existence reduces the level of service of the public spacesand has starting to create environmental problems. The study examines the street vendors’ activitycharacteristics, space and infrastructure availability, seller and customer preference and the localgovernment’s policy on street vendors. The study identified that the availability of open public space inPati Simpang Lima area have attracted the increase of street vendor activities. There is a growing needfor infrastructure such as parking spaces, public toilets and waste related infrastructure. There has notbeen any local government regulation let alone innovative approaches to street vendor activities in eithersocio‐cultural, economic nor normative terms. The direction was to physically regulate the street vendorarea in terms of vendor space allocation, business times regulations and infrastructure. The lack of spacein the area has imposed a need for relocation for some of the vendors to a new place such as JalanPenjawi, with adequate supply of infrastructure. In terms of policy, there should be legalization andlimitation of the number of street vendors using socio‐cultural, economic and normative models.Keywords: street vendor activity, public space, area infrastructure
