“…The action of transforming a place is called “place-making.” In other words, place-making is an action to transform a space into a place (Saad, 2022). Place-making is a collaborative process that strengthens relations between actors internally to transform certain places (Germen, 2015). The act of transformation itself can occur concretely and symbolically.…”

PurposeExisting literature shows conflicting views regarding street vendors in a place. They are considered both positive and negative. Their existence has rarely been examined from a combination of place-making and power theories. This research aimed (a) to identify the actors who transform Borobudur Food and Craft Market and the sources of power and actions carried out by these actors and (b) to find out the views of other actors about street vendors.Design/methodology/approachThe design used in this study was an instrumental case study. The data were collected using semi-structured interviews and photo documentation. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling with several participants of as many as 12 persons consisting of 4 street vendors, 4 employees of the state-owned enterprise in charge of the Borobudur tourist site and 4 tourists. The data were analyzed through two-phased coding. To improve the credibility, participant validation was conducted.FindingsThis study made new findings. First, in a place, there are formal and informal place-making actors who transform the place with the sources of power they have and the acts of power they carry out. Both formal and informal actors can perform coercive and noncoercive acts of power. This shows the existence of contested power in a setting. Second, street vendors are viewed positively as well as negatively. Comprehensive policies need to be implemented by key actors to minimize the negative sides of the existence of street vendors and optimize the benefits from them.Research limitations/implicationsData collection was carried out when the Indonesian government implemented restrictions on public activities during the pandemic. At that time, tourism activities were very limited. In the future, researchers can use other techniques such as the self-report visual method because not all street vendors are fluent in expressing their opinions in interviews.Practical implicationsBoth central and regional governments and local stakeholders can synergistically carry out a dialogue, seeking common ground to accommodate each other's interests. The next steps are to consistently apply the policies resulting from the dialogue and ensure that each actor plays a role according to their respective portion and authority.Originality/valuePrevious studies typically explain power as the possession of resources and relational attributes. This study has taken a different point of view, namely about acts of power contested in a certain place. Actors who have power are not always those who have formal legitimacy. Informal parties are considered powerless despite having power.

“…Bu anlamda hem Gezi Parkı içinde hem de daha sonra mahallelerde yaratılan kolektif örgütlülük ve paylaşım deneyimleri, insanların dayanışma, sorumluluk, katılımcılık gibi dayanışma ekonomisinin olmazsa olmazları olarak nitelendirilebilecek somut deneyimlerin elde edilmesine yardımcı olmuştur. Gezi Parkı Direnişi ile insanlar kendi yaşamlarını ve çevrelerini şekillendirmek için gerekli motivasyonu, çeşitli işbirlikçi ve katılımcı politika ve deneyimlerle sağlamıştır (Germen, 2015).…”

Dayanışma ekonomisi, 20. yüzyılın ikinci yarısında kapitalist ve devlet merkezli otoriter ekonomik modellere alternatif bir yaklaşım olarak ortaya çıkmıştır. Somut ekonomik deneyimler üzerinden şekillenen bu yaklaşım, ekonominin adil ve kolektif üretim, paylaşım ve yönetim prensiplerine dayanır. Bu prensipleri benimsemiş dayanışma ekonomisi pratikleri dünya genelinde sayıca artmakta ve çeşitli dayanışma ağlarıyla ortak değerler etrafında giderek daha çok birleşmektedir. Böylece sadece işyerlerinde değil, toplumun genelinde de adil bir dönüşüm hedeflenir. Bu bakımdan bu makale, dayanışma ekonomisi fikrinin dünyadaki yükselişi ve kavramsal tartışmalarına dair bir inceleme sunmaktadır. Aynı zamanda, dayanışma ekonomisinin Türkiye'deki seyrine dair de ortaya çıkan olumlu örnekler üzerinden tartışma yürütmeyi amaçlamaktadır.

“…The second finding reflects a certain stability of associated sub-topics (Figure 4). The analysis shows that place-making is often associated with recurring keywords such as "meaning of places" (Germen, 2015;Johnson et al, 2014;Lepofsky andFraser, 2003, Shaw et al, 2016), "sense of place" (Schuch et al, 2015;Lyons et al, 2016, Cilliers et al 2015) "place creation" (Vernon et al, 2009), "place identity" (Hutman et al, 2011), "place images" (Franz et al, 2008;Pope and Young, 2015), "community" and "neighbourhood" (Buckman, 2016;Cho andLee, 2011, Hassen andKaufman, 2016;Lombard, 2014). Over the study period, these keywords largely remain dominant.…”

Purpose Many scholars have addressed the concept of place-making, yet there is still little formal knowledge about how major societal changes have influenced place-making. The fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 is an earthshaking event that changed the world, with regard to geopolitics and the internationalisation of our cities and places, thus generating many urban and tourism developments. Therefore, this paper aims to analyse how the term “place-making” has been variously defined and developed as a concept since the time of the fall. Furthermore, it intends to assess whether such analysis can reveal potential competition and synergy for places between tourism and urban developments. Design/methodology/approach To address these two questions, a systematic quantitative literature review of research published between 1991 and 2016 has been used, providing a 25 years overview that reveals the current trends in the research on this topic and highlights the gaps in the existing literature. Findings Findings concerns the variety of definitions, demonstrating the complexity of place-making; four emerging topics (place-making and globalisation; participation; conflicts/challenges; and trendy strategies); and a lack of synergy between tourism and urban development regarding place-making. Research limitations/implications The major limitation to this research is the language criterion, restricted to English, thus automatically eliminating articles written in any other languages. Practical implications This paper can help key stakeholders to re-assess the place-making strategies in light of the findings. Social implications This research demonstrates the emergence of new trends in place-making that need to be addressed to fulfil societal demands and own changes. It can be used as a basis to start reflection and further development for communities and a wide variety of stakeholders. Originality/value The originality of this research resides in the 25-year overview that displays gaps and trends around place-making.
