Street vendors are still and kept growing, because there are many consumers who

5.
Peddling goods while
yelling, sometimes ran close to the consumer
The presence of street
vendors in urban areas including tembalang. Of course, due to several factors
they are as follows:
1.
The number of
unemployment
Unemployment
due to the lack of jobs and land is still the difficulty of having a job
especially in the regions tembalang . Because the number of people who are
jobless , they chose to do work instantly .Namely by being street vendors . Due to being street
vendors not requiring special skill and can gain an advantage just like workers
in general .
2.
The economic crisis
The
economic crisis that hit indonesia to cause the number of businessmen who close
their businesses because they were not enough to production costs and other
operational costs .It is forcing businessmen to close their businesses and
dismiss the workers .The workers who dismissed this is finally become a vendors
because of limited that they have expertise .
3.
A very rapid city
population growth
The
good is a thriving city very quickly , but if the city could not handle the
problem of the occupation of a very rapid growth also will result in the number
of people unemployed and eventually became vendors .
Street
vendors could arise anywhere , including at the education center tembalang as
in , although tembalang are the areas that are quite far from the city center ,
however tembalang into land suitable for use selling because crowded students
tembalang in the region . For example in front of campus polinnes .Vendors in
front of polines is one example of the development of street vendors who was so
advanced .Many vendors in the area certainly trigger various other problems
.However , the vendors in the area very closely related with consumers who most
of the students. We definitely cannot blame street vendors .Traders are just
people trying to to forward and meet the needs of their lives .On the contrary
, we should see consumers who are mostly of educated people .They are supposed
to know that actions that they do is illegal .
The vendors
will impact big for community life tembalang. Positive impact, street vendors
in an uncertain manner can absorb jobs, from the many unemployed were.Their
educational this trying to get creative, with own capital nor without capital.
The government has introduced to the life of vendors , fostered , arranged , do
not pursued by not be turned off , because they have also donated contributed
in developing employment .The vendors is also facilitate the consumer to buy
various kinds of needs , for example food , drink , stationery , an instrument
of the office , etc .The price offered is is quite cheap , this is what makes
vendors always visited by the consumers .
The
negatives, street vendors are ignoring of order, security, clean and the noise,
where there are street vendors, over there, there ' s chaos noisy and a lot of
trash. With enforcement continuous discipline , briefing that are to be
instructive from the government , will be able to fix problems street vendors
.Clear the street vendors , it never runs out everywhere they were , for those
who dwell increases , discharged the now , will appear again the next . They of
conducting business activities in order to meet the demands of life .
In
conclusion , street vendors persists and continue to grow , because many
consumers who want to buy and use of goods and services from them .There should
have been the cooperation of all the elements which is from the customers , the
governments and street vendors . Consumers should be aware and be more selective
in buy their needs .As well as the government should can facilitate , build and
maintain traders to controlled well .It is to create a safe environment ,
comfortable , and worthy of for their citizens .
