<p class="0abstract">This study aims to develop a learning media based on the local wisdom of <em>becak</em> (pedicab) assisted by the Android to improve the mathematical representation and critical thinking abilities. It used the 4D model. The data were collected using a written test, and analysed by using the analysis of the gain scores. The result shows that the developed media based on the local wisdom of pedicab assisted by the Android (CAKA) is in a very good category and can be used as a learning media. The CAKA media can improve the mathematical representation and critical thinking abilities of grade X students of senior high school.</p>

“…In most cases, the agents of the informal tourism economy consist of street vendors, unofficial tour guides, individual transport providers, handicraft producers, artisans, providers of homestays, holders of food stalls, musicians and dance troupes. Their activities are generally beyond the effective control of authorities (Crick, 1992) but the local community benefits from the income from these activities, especially during an economic crisis (Brata, 2010; Cukier, 2002; Dahles & Prabawa, 2013).…”

This study is the first to estimate the size of the informal tourism economy. Using a dynamic general equilibrium model, this paper first estimates the size of the informal tourism economy and then assesses its linkages to key labour market variables in Thailand. Empirical results indicate that: (a) the informal tourism economy grows faster than the formal tourism and aggregate economy; (b) both formal and informal tourism economies absorb the unemployed; (c) the relationship between formal and informal economies is negative in the aggregate but positive in the tourism sector.

“…In less developed and developing countries, informal economy actors commonly provide services to tourists: for example the street vendors who cluster around tourist coaches to sell food, and beach boys who seek to befriend tourists as guides (Bah and Goodwin, 2003). The income from these activities benefits the local community (Cukier-Snow and Wall, 1993;Cukier, 2002;Dahles and Prabawa, 2013), particularly during an economic crisis, when working in the informal economy is a survival strategy for some (Bhowmik, 2005;Brata, 2010;Onodugo, Ezeadichie, Onwuneme, & Anosike, 2016;Tamukamoyo, 2009). For instance, in Peru the informal economy provides work for around two thirds of population in urban areas (Martínez, Short, & Estrada, 2017).…”

In developing countries, many informal economy service providers obtain their livelihoods from tourism, and occupy and share public spaces to do so. As such, these actors must develop 'rules in use' that allow them to work alongside other providers, both formal and informal, in these shared spaces. These actors engage in coopetition, a mix of cooperation and competition, with each other. This paper provides a case study of informal sector service providers in Yogyakarta, Indonesia to examine how these actors access resources and interact. Snowball sampling was adopted to identify actors and 47 in-depth interviews with pedicab drivers and street vendors were conducted and supplemented with naturalistic observation. Results indicate the public spaces occupied by the informal sector may be classified as common pool resources, collective goods, or semi-private goods. Further, the interaction among the actors in these public spaces is based on the types of, and capacity in, providing goods and services, and trust generated from the actors' interactions. This research identified the formal and informal 'rules in use' that govern the behaviors of the actors related to the use of spaces.Suggestions for how informal economy actors can manage such spaces to enhance their livelihoods are provided.
