“…A total number of 384 participants will be required to gain a 95% confidence interval for a population that exceeds one million persons with a marginal error of ±5%. We managed to collect 425 reliable responses that are acceptable, taking Urban culture (Reuveni, 2002;Wardrop, 2006;Tamilarai and Angayarkanni, 2016;Alvi and Mendoza, 2017;Wibisono and Catrayasa, 2018) My into consideration the limitations of this paper (see section Limitations and Recommendations for Further Research).…”

“…The review of the literature served to identify five items that reflect each construct. The measurement items for the pervasiveness of street vending were drawn from work by Agadjanian ( 2002 ), Ilahiane and Sherry ( 2008 ), Recio and Gomez ( 2013 ), and Palacios ( 2016 ), while the observed variables for urban culture were derived from the work of Reuveni ( 2002 ), Wardrop ( 2006 ), Tamilarai and Angayarkanni ( 2016 ), Alvi and Mendoza ( 2017 ), and Wibisono and Catrayasa ( 2018 ). The items for consumption patterns were derived from Reid et al ( 2010 ), Steel ( 2012a ), Trupp ( 2015 ), and Tamilarai and Angayarkanni ( 2016 ), and resistance was tracked using indicators proposed by Musoni ( 2010 ), Steel ( 2012b ), Tengeh and Lapah ( 2013 ), Hanser ( 2016 ), and Boonjubun ( 2017 ).…”

“…They enter the informal economy for cultural reasons, such as continuing a traditional family activity, and for social or lifestyle reasons (Williams and Gurtoo, 2012 ). The urban culture of a city also determines the traditional recipes and eating habits that match the food offered by street vendors (Wardrop, 2006 ), and the public streets where readers and sellers of newspapers come together represent shared cultural interests (Reuveni, 2002 ). Thus, we hypothesize:…”

This study examined the relationship between urban culture and street vending. Prior research on this topic is limited and inconclusive. Therefore, we have proposed an integrated model to test the positive effect of urban culture on street vending using multiple mediations of consumption patterns, resistance, and microfinance. We tested a sample of 425 responses that reflect the public opinion in Baghdad, Iraq. These responses were collected between September and November 2018. A partial least squares–based structural equation modeling is employed to test the validity of measurement models and the significance of the entire structural model, predictive power, and mediation analysis. We found that resistance mediates the effect of urban culture on street vending; low-income consumption and resistance sequentially mediate the effect of urban culture on street vending, while resistance mediates the effect of a lack of microfinance on street vending. The direct impact of culture on street vending is not significant, and a lack of microfinance positively influences the pervasiveness of trading on streets. This study contributes to the extant literature as it proposed and tested a novel and comprehensive model to analyze the relationship between urban culture and street vending, simultaneously examining the effects of culture, consumption, resistance, and microfinance on street vending.

The linkage of suicide and crisis was a prominent feature of Weimar Germany's cultural landscape. In films as different as Bertolt Brecht and Slatan Dudow'sKuhle Wampeor Walter Ruttmann'sBerlin: Symphony of a Big City, suicide appears as a reaction to the darker aspects of urban modernity: an individual's answer to capitalist exploitation or personal drama in an otherwise smoothly functioning metropolis. In a number of contemporary novels the possibility of a suicide is disturbingly present. In Vicki Baum'sGrand Hotel, one character asks himself, “My God, does everyone now have his tea cup of veronal ready?” Tales of suicide also surfaced in the tabloid press which presented them as human interest stories. Partisan papers supported their respective stances by tying individual actions to political narratives, a strategy pursued by both Nazis and Communists as well as liberal reformers. Even schools' reports on pupils who had taken their own lives and farewell notes themselves echoed a general feeling that suicide was a sign of the times.
