BACKGROUND In developing the ideas, we are inspired by real life experience living in Surakarta as we tried to relate with some stakeholders involved in the matter. They are government, street vendors, and citizen itself.
Government
Citizen
Street vendors in Surakarta growth rapidly The growth of street vendors in Surakarta had increased in 2010 from the number 2.104 street vendors became 2.816 street vendors in 2012 (Rahayu,et,al. 2013). On the other hand, the government does not have complete data and distribution maps of street vendors, which adding more difficulties for them to manage the street vendors.
The street vendors as informal activities have contributed to the economic cycle of the city The fact that 10% citizens of Surakarta working as a street vendors (Surakarta in numbers, 2015) shows how they played a significant role not only in the city's employment rate but also in economic activity.
As job opportunities in informal sector that help the government decrease unemployment number Street vendors can be a job opportunity for citizens who have low education background and skills
The street vendors provide variety of commodities including citizen's basic daily needs They provide basic daily goods which are important in everyday live such as food, clothing, toiletries, etc.
The street vendors are easily found anywhere and anytime That's why the street vendors are easily found anywhere, i.e education areas, offices, etc. Some of them are open 24 hours. Street vendors are more flexible in time and location (can be called anywhere any time, for example a tire repair).
The street vendor’s commodities tend to gave cheaper price than in stores. There are citizens who have low incomes, and in order to fulfil their everyday needs, they prefer to go to street vendors instead of local stores because of the cheaper price.

There is no platform and digital information about the street vendors yet
Street vendors are very helpful basic service in the city. Yet there is no platform and detailed information about them that can make the citizens or tourist to get information and find the location.
GOAL
Street Vendors 10% citizens in Surakarta earn main income as street vendors
Build an innovation platform with detailed information to promote street vendors and engaging society toward smart city
There is no spatial local policy that allocate space for street vendors in Surakarta There is no spatial local policy (Rencana Tata Ruang Wilayah and Rencana Detail Tata Ruang) that allocate space for street vendors in Surakarta, in which there should be amenities to accommodate them since UU No. 26/2007 (Public act about spatial planning in Indonesia) mentioned about granting some of the city's facilities for informal sectors.
The access to get information such as funding and training to enhance their businesses are finite. The limitation also occurs in street vendor's market because of lack of promotion.

IDEA The prototype that we have developed is an online smartphone based application demo. This app is mainly focused to help citizen browse street vendors around their location, while at the same time it also acts as an information platform for buyer to discover the street vendors related to their needs and service. The information ANGKRING can provide including street vendor operation hours, delivery availability, service available in the nearest places, and a huge range of street vendors the citizen can easily find and locate.

PROVIDE DATABASE Field survey with mapping process To get the database, we surveyed the location of street vendors with some additional information like street vendors' name, its contact, its kind of commodities, operational hours, available services, and the picture of its place.
Focus Group Discussion To strengthen the database of street vendors, we will organize Focus group discussion with street vendors not only to gain some information, but also to acquaint our idea to help the street vendors
STEPS TO DEVELOP THE PROJECT
Compiling Data We gathered the data that we have collected and arrange them into presentable information. So, we can continue to the next step.
Testing the App
Ÿ
Ÿ
Ÿ
use the ng-repeat directive to create a new list item for every single task we have in a this project and input the codes create an Angular controller and add it to the page and define the controller. Create some tasks and adding it with certain codes.
Ÿ
Ÿ
There are four ways to test your app as we develop: in a desktop WebKit browser, in the iOS or Android simulator, in a mobile browser on your phone, or as a native app on the phone.
Building the App
START
Ÿ
BUILDING THE APP To build ANGKRING mobile, we prefer to use Ionic Framework because to start develop the app is easy, since Ionic provides useful pregenerated app setup with simple layout. Ionic framework is open source framework for developing mobile applications Ionic provides tools and services for developing hybrid mobile apps using web technologies. These are the following step to build ANGKRING mobile applications using Ionic Framework:
Starting the App
Have an index.html file which defines the first page that loads in the app and initialize with the codes that include the Ionic CSS and both the core Ionic JS and the Ionic AngularJS extensions. Figure out what the UI of the app will look like, we can use the standard layout or customize with our codes. create a new AngularJS module, so we can have a content in our app and nitialize it. Then add some content to the application using codes.

ENGAGE SOCIETY We will announce/introduce ANGKRING mobile app by workshop and social media. The participant in workshop will involve citizen, street vendors, and also the government (especially the department related to market management).

DETAIL OF APPLICATION PROTOTYPE This app will show the user about the type of street vendors, helping to track its location by map, sharing the street vendor pictures, giving some rates, and reviews to other user.
Clips is where we can save our street vendors collection that we have been visited or we wish to visit
We tried looking for similar apps to compare the genuine of the idea, but we did not find any same concept so far in Indonesia. There has been no other platform that could help citizen find street vendors nearby or helping to enhance street vendor bussiness or engage the society to support street vendors.
Upload menu is for sharing information of the street vendors we that we have just found nearby and itwill come out in the search results after being verified
Publishing the App Generate a release build of our app, target at each platform we wish to deploy on. Before we deploy, we should take care to adjust plugins needed during development that should not be in production mode. First, publish using android with generate a release build for android using certain cordova cli command and have the final APK. Then, release it in Google Play Store by creating a Play Store listing and upload our APK. Before that we need to visit Google Play Store Developer Console and create new developer account and pay the cost. If we already have a developer account, then go ahead and click “Publish an Android App on Google Play”.
We also communicate to the participant to update the data of street vendors and give review about it. The last step is promoting the app in social media and include local advertise all over the city
IMPACT FOR SMART CITY

One of the hard infrastructures we can work on to acquire better WOULD YOU PLEASE city systems is including information and communication technology. With ANGKRING, we want to promote awareness PARTICIPATE IN OUR QUALITY SURVEY and reinforcement of smart city concept to the people of the city with sustainable ICT approach. In the other hand ANGKRING will be a tool to operate city systems especially in connection with Submit your respond culture and economy facets. Meanwhile, since this app cannot be regarding Angkring App built without the involvement of those many stakeholders, in the link below networks and community organization forums become an https://goo.gl/forms/ important key to nurture the sustainability of this project. Lastly, qAZrBRiNlQ9avMDo1 we plan to set ANGKRING to exist in this ecosystem layer of the scheme, for the aim to design a public friendly platform. Thank you
