Abstract

The management of mobile street vendors is currently a universal problem faced by urban management departments in China, and the anarchy in the management of mobile street vendors is caused by a host of issues that are worth attention. Given this context, with comparative analysis and a desk study, the paper, for one thing, systematically studies the current laws, regulations, and dilemmas in judicial practices concerning the management of mobile street vendors in urban areas, and for another, figures out the three issues that have led to the plight of the management of mobile street vendors, which include the conflict of interests between multiple parties, the defects in the work of relevant authorities concerning public relations and publicity, and the absence of public participation in administrative decision-making and implementation. On this basis, the paper puts forward feasible approaches to the management of mobile street vendors based on the concept of flexible governance to help better protect the legitimate rights of mobile street vendors in urban areas. In this sense, the paper also seeks practical solutions to issues including building an ordered market, boosting employment, and improving people’s livelihood.
