ESCOBAR, Edisson Stiven Castro; OSPINA, Duván Emilio Ramírez e GOMEZ, Héctor Mauricio Serna. INFORMAL SALES IN THE PUBLIC SPACE IN VILLAVICENCIO (COLOMBIA). Semest. Econ. [online]. 2018, vol.21, n.46, pp.141-166. ISSN 0120-6346. https://doi.org/10.22395/seec.v21n46a6.
This paper aims to characterize the labor informality of street vendors and stable vendors located in the public space of the downtown area of Villavicencio (Colombia) during 2016. In order to achieve this, a cartographic survey of the locations where the informal vendors are located and a decibel noise sampling using the Decibel 10ht® application were carried out. In addition, the vendors’ profile was identified through participatory observation and semi - structured interviews. The results show a process of spatial clustering, determined by location in pedestrian ways, intersections and accesses to crowded places. Product specialization was observed, associated with the structure of formal trade.
