It influences traffic and city’s appearance. There’s been a backlash against street vendors. Former mayors tried their best but still hit pothole on road to solving this problem. Actually, vendors are formed for people’s intention to shop economically and conveniently. Not only it provides employment opportunity, it also supplies a great diversity to shop. Street vendors remain rooted in the basic level commercial activities. If the government clamp down on them absolutely would cause negative influence. Therefore, effective management becomes an important issue. This thesis is based on the theory of vendor management. In addition to analysis, management and evaluation of vendor problem, it probes into public opinions about the process of vendors’ emergence. And, former mayor Chen Shui-bian used to conduct a poll among residents in the neighborhood of 91 vendor centralization areas. Incumbent mayor Ma Ying -chiu also placed importance on public opinion poll. This topic analyses above mentioned polls and our own questionnaires. According to the“Vendors’ Operation Survey”released by the Directorate-General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics, Executive Yuan,the total vendors’ production value is 184,999 million dollars per year in Taiwan. There are 291,064 vendors all over Taiwan.（including 26,981vendors in Taipei, with vendors’ production value 21,527 million dollars per year）They occupies streets, sidewalks and building overhangs. The external cost is pretty high. Users should pay expenses, but street vendors don’t. Therefore, their production prices are lower than others, and the number of vendors is increasing continuously. We hope to make good policies to increase vendors’ cost, transforming external cost into internal cost. Then we expect to control the quantity and quality through market invisible hand to aim at a perfect living environment The successive mayors all have their own policies to manage vendors. For example, the Sole Responsibility Bulletin of Vendors’ Ban of mayor Huang Ta Chou, the Vendors’ Counselling Program of mayor Chen Shui -bian and the White Book of Vendors’ Policies of Taipei mayor Ma Ying-chiu This research analyzes and compares above policies. Taipei Vendors’ Management Regulation is the law basis at present. This topic not only evaluates the achievement of Taipei Vendors’ Management Regulation, it also compares the present law to the Taipei Vendor’s Management Autonomous Regulation. We collected the opinions of vendors about the government’s management and offered solution. Our focuses contain clamping down on illegal vendors, function of vendors’ autonomous organization, management of permitted vendors, issuing of vendor s’ permit and tax and fair of vendors. I strongly suggest that we should protect legal vendors and clamp down on illegal ones. The chief conclusions of this thesis are as following： A、Vendors cause high external cost and the amount of vendors is way too big. We hope to make good policies to transform external cost into internal cost. Then we expect to control the quantity and quality through free economy. B、In order to transform external cost into internal cost, the confirmation of property right is the most important. It includes the ownership of streets, sidewalks, building overhangs and the quality of our environment. The ownership won’t influence the optimal allocation. We can easily define the ownership by law. C、We should consider the cost effectiveness of tax levying, especially the fairness and generality.Our suggestion is available or not depends on the tax levying very much. D、Vendors are viewed as minority group nowadays. All the policies in this thesis are strongly based on the support of public opinions. Key word： Vendor Vendor permit Fee Autonomous Regulation Autonomous organization
