Abstract

Street vendors play a crucial role in the local economy but are often overlooked due to the negative stigma surrounding their presence. Despite this, they view their work as honorable and contribute significantly to the welfare of the local community. This study aims to examine the characteristics of street vendors (PKL) in the Trans Kalimantan Handil Bakti Road area, a hub for trade activities due to its high accessibility and position as a crossroads between cities. A qualitative approach with a descriptive method was employed, and data were collected through observation, `interviews, and documentation. The findings reveal significant variations in the characteristics of street vendors, including: (1) Types of Commodities: Vendors offer a wide range of products, including ready-to-eat food, non-food items, and services. (2) Scale of Operations: The scale of operations is relatively large, driven by high traffic and vibrant local activity. (3) Location: The area is strategically positioned at an intercity crossroads, attracting both locals and travelers. (4) Distribution Patterns: Vendors typically follow an elongated distribution pattern along the road. (5) Nature of Operations: Most vendors fall into the categories of semi-sedentary and itinerant traders. (6) Operating Hours: Vendors usually begin trading around 3:00–4:00 PM and continue until midnight. These findings highlight the dynamic nature of street vending in this area, emphasizing its strategic importance and the diversity of services offered.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze how wetland conservation can increase preparedness in facing natural disasters. A natural disaster is defined as a disaster caused by nature itself. Disaster preparedness is an important aspect as an effort to protect the environment and society, especially in wetland ecosystems. This research uses a qualitative approach with descriptive methods. Data collection techniques use literature studies. Data sources come from scientific journals, books, scientific essays, and literature related to the topic of discussion. Data was collected to identify and analyze the concrete role of wetlands, especially in mitigating natural disasters. The research results show that wetlands function as natural reservoirs that are able to absorb excess water in the flood season and supply water in the dry season. Vegetation in wetlands can also reduce the intensity of landslides. Wetland conservation programs that involve local communities and stakeholders in improving disaster preparedness can be the key to the success of wetland ecosystems. In line with this, ecosystem management education and training is also an important factor in increasing public awareness regarding the importance of managing wetlands as a means of mitigating disasters and maintaining environmental sustainability.
