在东南亚发展中国家，街头小贩在公共空间的活力和非正规经济方面发挥着重要但常常被忽视的作用。然而，他们在人行道和其他有争议的领土上遭到不分青红皂白的清除，因为他们占据这些地区，因为缺乏他们可以开展业务的空间。但此类事件以及可能随之而来的冲突可以通过重新审视政策来解决，这些政策似乎是反供应商的，或者无法理解他们的存在和需求。这项研究研究了马尼拉大都会活跃的通勤交汇处之一——卡洛坎市纪念碑站地区的街头小贩，根据现行法律制定了他们的需求、问题和愿望。同时检查的是经常有争议的道路、拐角和地役权的典型用途，小贩和其他使用者每天都在这些地方协商对城市空间的所有权。
In developing states of Southeast Asia, street vendors play a significant but frequently unappreciated role in both the vibrancy of public spaces as well as the informal economy. Yet, they are subject to indiscriminate purges from sidewalks and other contested territories, which they occupy for lack of provision of spaces in which they could otherwise do business. But such occurrences, and the conflicts that may follow, can be addressed by revisiting policies, which seem anti-vendor or which fail to comprehend their presence and needs. This research studied street vendors of one of the active commuter interchanges of Metro Manila, the Monumento Station area in Caloócan City, framing their needs, issues and aspirations against existing laws. Simultaneously examined were typical uses of shifting, often contested stretches of roads, corners, and easements where hawkers, among other users, daily negotiate a claim to the city’s space.
