Defining Street Vending Types

Following the diagram on ‘street vendors’ classification’, I thought it is important to define each street vending type.

Licensed- Street vendors who have obtain licenses to vend in a particular area. They usually pay tax to the government.

Squatting- Street vendors who have not obtain licenses to vend in a particular area or street vendors who do vending in the countries where street vending is illegal. They are usually subjected to harassment and are compelled to pay bribery to maintain their business. 

Stationary - Street vendors who stay and vend in a one place throughout the day (static vendors) or most of the day (semi-static vendors).

 Mobile – Street vendors who walk around the city to sell their goods and services. They can be fully mobile or partly mobile (they may stay and vend in a one place for a short period to time)

On-street – street vendors who vend beside the roads.

Off- street – Street vendors who vend in area like a local market.

Food item – Street vendors who particularly sell foods.

Non- food item – Street vendors who sell goods and services which are non-food. 

Street Venders' Classification

Different experts have categorized street vendors into different ways. Therefore, I wanted to create one platform that shows all different classifications and relations in between these classifications. The below given diagram is what I came up with after a literature review on Street Venders' Classification.
