music performances, and others by residents and the city government of Bandung. Tegallega Park
in the center of Bandung has a strategic location, namely the main city road that connects the
residential area with the city center and is surrounded by a variety of activities. This condition
causes street vendors in large numbers to carry out their activities in Tegallega Park.
1.2 Street vendors and Tegallega Park problems
Street vendors occupy areas both inside and outside Tegallega Park. In carrying out their activities
they tend to be in groups and can be differentiated based on the type of goods sold or the services
they offer. The problem arose because Tegallega Park was not designed to facilitate their activities.
Street vendors use various areas or facilities whose function is not to facilitate their activities. These
problems cause a decrease in the physical condition of the park and discomfort for other park users,
especially in the areas used by street vendors.
This study aims to see whether there is a relationship between existing activities outside the park
with the location selection of street vendors to carry out their activities. This study also aims to
look at the relationship between the types of existing activities with the types of merchandise and
services offered by street vendors. Through this relationship, it is hoped that the consideration of
street vendors in choosing a location and determining the types of goods or services they offer
can be understood. The results of this study can be used as a basis for consideration of planning
and designing public spaces such as parks in the city of Bandung. Planning a public space in the
form of a park in the future is expected to consider the existence of street vendors as part of it and
facilitate their needs, so that current public space problems due to the presence of street vendors
can be anticipated.
2 RESEARCH METHODS
This research was conducted with a qualitative descriptive method, trying to understand a phenomenon experienced by researchers in this case is the behavior of street vendors in carrying
out their activities in Tegallega Park and explaining it in words (Setyowati 2011). According to
Sugiyono in Setyowati (2011), qualitative research uses a “social situation” which consists of three
elements, namely: place, actors, and activities that interact synergistically.
This research was conducted by direct observation and data collection in the field of existing
activities outside the park, as well as the location that was chosen by street vendors in conducting
their commercial activities. Observations and data collection were also carried out on the types
of goods traded and services offered by street vendors at each location in Tegallega Park. Then
analysis and conclusions are drawn from the results of the field data to see the relationships that
occur.
3 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
3.1 Relationship between activities around the park and the location selection of street vendors
Tegallega Park is located in the southern part of Bandung city. The location of the park is flanked
by roads connecting the southern area of the city with the city center. Tegallega Park in the east
is bordered by Mohammad Toha Road, the western part is bordered by Otto Iskandardinata, and
the south is bordered by the BKR road. Jalan Otto Iskandardinata is a road that connects Tegallega
Park with the famous shopping center in Bandung, namely “Pasar Baru” and is a route for Bandung
citizens returning to work or traveling from the city center. This road is passed by two kinds of mass
public transportation, namely “angkot” (a vehicle that can accommodate 12 passengers) and city
buses. On the west side of the park next to Otto Iskandardinata Street, there is a public transportation
stop. Jalan Mohammad Toha is a route for city residents who will travel or work to the city center.
