Abstract

“Kasunanan” Palace of Surakarta is a mainstay tourism object in Surakarta, however, the Southern square looks very shabby with culinary street vendors (street food sellers) which are less neat and well known as a thinly veiled prostitution area at night. The objective of this study is to map the economic potential and culinary tourism in the area and to study the policies of the Royal family and local governments regarding the structure of tourist environment area of the Palace. A qualitative research method using secondary data and the in-depth interview was conducted to the street vendors and the caretaker of the “Alun-Alun Kidul.” The results of this research are two maps of irregular placement of street vendors in the Northern square of Kasunanan Palace in Surakarta during the day and night. However, all of them are in the illegal place for trading. In addition, the microenterprise placement is irregular and seedy. The implication of this research is that the heritage of Kasunanan palace prestige decreases.
