1.INTRODUCTION ABOUT STREET VENDING
Page | 10 1.INTRODUCTION TO THE RESEARCH
Regulating street trade is a challenge across the globe. Many countries have rapidly growing cities and increasingly dense urban cores. In these areas, street vending not only provides on-the-go services to pedestrians passing by, but also creates opportunities for people to slow down and connect. Fruitful regulations should consider the contributions vendors bring to the sidewalks. To ensure these policies are effective, street vendors themselves should take part in devising them. This will help get incentives right and improve vending sites for all concerned. However, relocating street vendors may not be the best solution, and upgrading the market should be taken into consideration. Shedding the light on street vending, it is an integral part of the economic status worldwide. However, informal street vending is often ignored by governments or viewed as a problem to be eliminated. In Egypt, there are 5 million street vendors, including 1.5 million in Greater Cairo, 30% of the sellers are women and 15% are children who support their families. This research focuses on the study and analysis of the relocation process of Al-Tounsi Market (Fig.1); an extroverted natural market, that is going to be evicted after the completion of the construction of Al-Tounsi Civilized Market in Al-Basaten Area (Fig.2). This eviction is seen as an emblematic operation of the decongestion and beautification of the historic area in Al-Khalifa, with the motto of combatting the informality in Egypt. Also combating the hazard of frequent fires that took place in the market in 2010 and 2016, due to the car accidents from Al-Tounsi bridge. Relocated into new introverted market structures, 1km away different from their former open market; street vendors are set up to new kinds of organizations, which creates a challenge in the suitability and the adaptation to the new setting. The strategy of the relocation process raises the issue of the economic and political transformation of the conditions of street vendors experiencing eviction and relocation. The development of the relocation space 1 manifests the relationship between vendors, city dwellers and the urban authorities in the city.

1 INTRODUCTION
Page | 11 1.INTRODUCTION
The first part of this research analyses the national case study of Al-Tounsi market, studying the market before relocation, documenting the relocation strategy and identifying the participatory approach adopted. The second part of the research focuses on the study of the international case study of relocating street vendors in Surakarta, Indonesia, conceived one of the most successful examples in relocation of street vendors worldwide using participatory approach. Thus a comparison is established between the national and the international case to acquire lessons and outcomes from that analytical comparative study, and use it as recommendations for a comprehensive planning in future studies and relocation projects. 1.1 Research Problem Definition • Underestimation of the informal markets, as an integral part of the economical status of the cities’ worldwide; therefore it affects the incorporation of the participatory approach in the planning and relocation of street vendors. • Street Vending in Al-Tounsi market-initiated life hazardous impacts (Repeated Fires), which was the main trigger for the relocation process, that had a huge propaganda, especially that this market had numerous relocation drafts before the final one. • Critical Analysis of the political agenda, analyzing the laws and regulations of street vending in Egypt.

1.INTRODUCTION History of Street Vending in Egypt
1.3 Political Dimensions and Legalization The presence of street vending association is a prominent factor in adopting a successful participatory approach, not only for this reason, but it was mentioned more than once in the regulatory laws concerning the street vendors in Egypt, to ensure the rights of licensing and registration. Also here are the main aspects that were mentioned in the political frame. In 1941 in Law 33. no. 48, concerning the public affairs, prohibiting parking in streets, squares, neighborhoods, or near shops that trade in similar items, or merchandise using bells, loudspeaker horns or any other method that causes anxiety for the public’s comfort. In 1957, in Law 33, but concerning the organizing Street vendors, The law requires street vendors to practice the profession of a street vendor to obtain a license from the competent authority responsible for organizing the work. In 2009, there was a field study conducted by FEDA, concerning the presence of public facilities, as well insurances for the street vendors, stating that The sellers are working in harsh climatic conditions without the presence of public facilities and without social or health insurance, and therefore any injury, disability or death eliminates the family of the street vendor. In 2012, Street vendors in Cairo established the Union of Indepedent Street Vendors to emphasize their rights to own spaces to sell their products. And finally in 2018, Representative Hala Abu Al-Saad, head of the Governorates Party’s parliamentary body, presented a draft law to regulate the work of street vendors. This law is not enforced yet, however it emphasized more than once in its articles, especially Artcle (11), in the presence of membership of the license applicant in the Street Vendors Association or the Trade Union Committee.1

1.3.1 Review of the Political Dimensions and Legalization All the laws are concerned with controlling the street vendors, lack:- Maintenanc regulations for the display areas, rental fees for the display areas or units and regulations concerning the right of health and social insurance.

The remarkable area of the Tounsi market dates back to the Mamluk’s period in 1890, known as the slave market. It was held in the Sayeda Aisha area and slave was sold in it, and when this trade ended it turned into a market for selling animals, especially horses and donkey. Then in the seventies it was known as “Al-Harameyah Market” and its location was in the Imam Al-Shafi’i area next to its current location. The name of the region is attributed to the Tounsi name due to the presence of the mosque and the shrine of the Imam of Tounsi, facing the western side on Helwan Railway Street, or what is known as Al-Mawasala Street. The space was a street that defines the end of old cairo urban areas, and the existence of the railway line (Helwan - Bab Al-Luq) confirmed that end, which was a barrier between the urban area and the cemeteries.1With stopping the work on the railway line and building a highway in the middle The eighties, a significant change took place specifically with the last years of the end of the first phase of constructing the metropolitan Cairo (line) Helwan - Al Marg).The street joined the railway line, which together became deserted to create a great urban space. In light of the urban sprawl. The rapid expansion of the city of Cairo during that period, a lot of residents began to take the graveyard areas to the right. The bridge is left as a permanent residence area changing the shape of the urbanization of the area.2

It hosts the type of professional vendors who arrive regularly to the market to earn their living. Usually, regular vendors earn their locations so that clients would come to them at the same spot every time, and that if they were not found at their location, it would mean they did not attend. • This market also hosts the regular people who just need to sell their pets. It is so common to bring their pets and stands on the street for display. That is why selling stolen pets is common in this market. • Clientele: This market attracts clientele at city scale. 1

And May 15 is isolated and full of bandits. 2-The transfer of Al-Tounsi market reduces the suffering of the citizens and residents of the Sayyidah Aisha area, and it also contributes to eliminating the traffic crises caused by the market, which leads to congestion and accumulation in the whole region and impedes movement in all areas surrounding the market.2 3- A campaign from the ministry of the Environment for stopping the trade of endangered pets. 3 Which contributed as a threat for Al-Tounsi market trade, which is against national environemntal affairs. 4- Souq el Hamam (Birds) Relocated more than once for a better urban setting and talked to the district presidency – The final located destination is Mabret Mostafa kamel.

AL-TOUNSI CIVILIZED MARKET Documentation of Case Study 4.5 Documentation of the Relocation Strategy - Vendors’ Opinion Abd al-Rahman, one of the motor sellers in the market, considers himself one of the new sellers in the market, where his work duration in the market did not exceed 6 years, Abd al-Rahman said that the government came about a year ago and confiscated everyone who had a store to have a place in the new market. He also expressed his intense love for the place and his attachment to it, describing that he could not stay and he would leave if the government wanted, saying: “I will work, and if people walked away I would have anyother choice than to leave..” “Majdi Abu Muhammad” one of the street vendors, said that “Not everyone who works in the market is uneducated but rather there are educated people who can talk about everything. Adding that this market is found in all countries of the world. The market age ranged between 20 to 25 years.” “No one who will take the same area of the aisle or the shop as it is. It is impossible for the new place to be able to distribute the whole number, but we are paying rent, electricity and others.” Thus, Ahmed Taj, the owner of a fu r niture store, expressed his rejection of the decision to move the market from his current locati o n to another, as he talked about The role of members of the Representatives in the region, expl a ining that Jamal Al-Shuwaikhi, the deputy of “Tok-tok’s” as they are nicknamed him, due to his i n ability to solve any problem except with regards to holding “tok-toks” and returning them to th e ir owners, since his arrival he has not been able to provide solutions to the problems suffered by the people in terms of neglect and marginalization.1 His friend Karam Majdi disagreed with him, explaining that the market and the region are not appropriate to remain on its shape while it’s is in Cairo, the capital of the country, and Majdi considered that moving to another place would give them work and better housing opportunities than the existing ones, “The government has the right that we are sitting here without rights, and the state does not benefit from us, and if so it will take money from us, we will live in a better condition and order without any neglect.”

5. BANJARSARI STREET VENDORS International Case Study 5.1 Case Study Overview Surakarta, also known as Solo, is a municipality in Central Java Province in Indonesia of more than 500.000 people. Surakarta city follows the decentralization governance system adopted by Indonesia since 1999. The increasing number of street vendors, people struggling to make a daily income in a weakened economy due to Indonesian financial crisis of 1998, brought a large number of complaints to the City Mayor’s desk. Based on a negotiation approach adopted by the former mayor of the city Surakarta managed to solve the very sensitive issue of illegal street vendors. The relocation and re-arrangement of street vendors in Surakarta has been done with great consideration of the local culture and humane methods.

5. BANJARSARI STREET VENDORS International Case Study 5.3 The Relocation of Banjarsari Vendor Market The Monument 45 Banjarsari Park was initially a part of the Villapark, an urban dwelling with a spirit of garden city concepts that was designed by the architect and urban planner Ir. Thomas Karsten in the early 20th century. The residential units in the park were leased to the Dutch plantation employees. In the center of the park and open space with a symmetrical form was designed which was divided to four equal parts with an axis. During the political development of city after Indonesia’s independence Villa Park was renamed to Monument 45 Banjarsari (Monjari Park). Later in 1949 the park had served the army students’ headquarter during the fight against the Netherland’s second military aggression. After the Indonesian financial crisis in 1997 the park became a flea market, until 2006 when the former Mayor Joko Widodo successfully relocated the street vendors to a new area in Semanggi.

Figure 32: The Power Matrix Diagramof the Stakeholders of Banjarsari. Source: Conducted and visualized by the researvhers.
Depending on the analysis conducted by the authors, we assume that the street vendors and the traditional street vendor association were resistant to the relocation program as they were being informed of the program without further participation from their side. While the park visitor and the city inhabitants were very supportive as they wanted to have the public park back with its original function. While the NGOs, city information offices and the local university of Sebelas Maret are considered neutral stakeholders as they facilitate the program.

7. RELOCATION OF BANJARSARI STREET VENDORS International Case Study 7.1 Relocation Process In 2005, the new mayor, Joko Widodo, tried a fresh approach. The Mayor (now President of Indonesia) invited the street traders and other stakeholders to over 50 open dialogue meetings. The rapport and personal relationships that he built were instrumental in convincing them to support his relocation plan, which was implemented within a year’s time. The involvement of the local government, the partner NGO (SOMPIS - Solidaritas Masyarakat Pinggiran Surakarta – Solidarity of Marginal Societies in Surakarta) and the street vendors’ representatives was of crucial importance to approach street vendors and reaching an agreement. 1 The relocation process was implemented in one year. The negotiations included; • Significant concessions from the government, including the development of a new purpose-built market. • The provision of stall ownership certificates, and access to business loans to support the vendors’ businesses. • The government also responded to vendors’ concerns that the relocation site was too remote and disconnected from the city, by surfacing roads, installing signage, designing new bus routes. • Promoting the new market through the media.

7. RELOCATION OF BANJARSARI STREET VENDORS International Case Study 7.2 Phases of Relocation Process
The relocation process was implemented in different stages: Stage 1 –Preparation: The first stage consisted of collecting data about the street vendors as (citizenship, style of trades, type and size of stalls). This stage was implemented by the help of the researches from a local university (Universitas Sebelas Maret of Surakarta), during the first stages also a number of official meetings with the local parliament were held in order to draw out the budget, as well as formulating the objectives and strategies. Stage 2- Agreement: During the second stage the informal representatives of street vendors were invited to the Mayor’s residence for dialogue, during this stage the NGOs assisted as community facilitators.After more than 50 meetings, an agreement was signed between the street vendors and the municipality which states that the vendors agree to be relocated and the municipality agrees provide appropriate relocation sites, providing free infrastructure (e.g. kiosks) and free trading license. Stage 3- Design and Construction: During this stage the Universitas Sebelas Maret of Surakarta started to design and construct the new market place. The market place area covered 11,950 m2 and could hold 1,018 kiosks, with total cost IDR 9 billion (approx. USD 1 Million). Also during this stage a number of training were provided to the street vendors. Stage 4- Relocation Ceremony: A traditional relocation procession (referred to as kirab) The procession symbolized a peaceful relocation to a new market, it also symbolized that the government is standing by its citizens. At the new market place the local government provided incentives: free kiosks, working capital, free trading licenses and grace period of trade tax for first six months.

based on the analysis conducted by the authors, we assume that the stakeholders’ feedback and interests changed after the series of meetings and agreements held between the vendors and the government with the assistance of other stakeholders. At this stage the street vendors and the traditional street vendor association were quite supportive as their requirements were met. At this stage the park visitor and the city inhabitants continued being supportive of the program. While the NGOs , city information offices and the local university of Sebelas Maret are considered stayed as neutral stakeholders in the program.

8.CONCLUDING REMARKS International Case Study 8.1 Findings and Conclusions • Strategies for pertaining the natural market such as financing for construction of infra-structure and provision of amenities, mechanism for allotment of the designated spaces needs to be developed through: multi-stakeholder consultations, government authorities, planners, police, vendors and other community members. • Need for inclusive comprehensive planning, thus achieving in depth level of participatory approaches. • From the planning perspective, it’s assumed that natural markets are overpopulated without adequate space to accommodate all the occupying groups and the multiple activities. Harsh steps of removal the vendors are consider predictable for ensuring smooth flow of traffic. These views are shared by local authorities, city planners, designers and citizens, however they overlook the significance of natural markets and their role in income generation for the poor. There should be an involvement of all the stakeholders in the planning process. • It’s a suggestion to a schematic design solution for inclusive planning to achieve equitable growth and development of the city. • Inclusive planning for the community of the graveyards. • There should be a comprehensive planning for the pet’s (Birds market) and other thematic markets of Al-Tounsi market, as the relocation strategy targeted some of the thematic markets. 8.2 Reccomendations The solution should be on three levels: • The first legislative level amending the laws in force since the forties and fifties and creating a flexible system of licenses and conditions for obtaining and renewing them and the fines and training required for street vendors. With specifying the advantages that the seller gets, such as the rights to social and health insurance. • The second level is to form a committee at the level of each local unit for the sale of the locals, specifying the locations of the fixed and weekly markets, organizing and monitoring the workers therein, provided that the street vendors and their organizations are represented in the membership of these committees. • The third level of street vendors themselves is to form independent trade unions, independent cooperatives, social ties, and associations that organize their ranks and defend their rights and interests. The phenomenon of roaming sale is an economic and social phenomenon in which millions of Egyptians work and serve millions of Egyptians. Dealing with it should not be limited to the security concept only. It is not only security that regulates life. Regarding the stolen, endangered specied of pets, it goes to the level of legalization of licenses and monitoring the sellers, aside giving their rights, as mentioned previusly in the above three points.
