Abstract

Informality has been, in one way, an urban economic issue and, on the other hand, a unique urban living in Indonesia, a potential for tourist attraction. The attraction to some extent emerges as the result of a continuous and dynamic process of spatial formation and reformation of the informal sectors and street vending activities, wherein customers and observers are part of the process itself. Utilizing N. J. Habraken’s theory, “The Structure of the Ordinary,” as a framework, this paper explores the way territorializing of the street vendors takes place. The case observed is the street vendor activities, particularly for the culinary and secondhand book stalls, along one of the popular streets in the heart of Bandung City, the Cikapundung Street.
