Analysis of the problem on street vendor relocation in Menara Kudus Tourist Area

Abstract

This paper examines the problems in relocating street vendors in the religious tourism area of Menara Kudus. The relocation of street vendors does improve the visual quality and environment of the region, but it becomes a problem for street vendors, especially in the decline of consumers, revenue and the return of street vendors to the original location. Using qualitative methodology, this study examines the problem of relocation more deeply through depth interview analysis with street vendors. The results showed that there are problems in each parameter, such as the visibility of relocation sites whose image is less potent when compared to parks. Accessibility that this type of mode of transportation cannot traverse. The environment where the relocation is different from the flexibility of the previous environment. Limited land expansion that requires temporary arrangements related to land use. Competition with street vendors in the red zone (on street) can be in direct contact with consumers compared to the relocation of street vendors.
