Topology and the Web of Informal Economy: Case study of kakilima and its twisted networks in the market of Kebayoran Lama, Jakarta

Abstract


 Kakilima, i.e., generic informal urban economy, has been both urban problems and blessings in Indonesia. They are omnipresent and an ‘eyesore’. They are part of structuration process of the society – in which they are produced and reproduced – including its economy. The research is to disclose economic behaviour and activities in spatial terms. The findings suggest that they are convoluted both in kinds and may embed within the formal one.
