The result indicates the development of a social structure which includes the structural setting and instruments in the social development of the street vendors which cannot be realized in the form of a practical policy to improve life street vendors' life quality. Quantitively, the development shows a positive trend which is in accordance with Jakarta's mission to be the city for the people of all cultures. However, the change of behavior especially of the local officers, such as Satpol PP and government's official, is needed to create a more polite and persuasive method for the development of the street vendors. This study recognizes that the stakeholders consisted of the government of Jakarta, UPB Pasar Minggu and the street vendors, were still unable to establish a satisfactory interaction and communication for the improvement of the social development. This study concluded that the effort to manage and relocate the street vendors are still on it way to meet the inclusive development goal.
