Abstract
Kakilima, i.e., generic informal urban economy, has been both an urban problem and a blessing in Indonesia. They are omnipresent and an 'eyesore'. They are part of the structuration process of the society in which they are produced and reproduced including its economy. The research is to disclose economic behaviour and activities in spatial terms. The findings suggest that they are convoluted both in kinds and may embed within the formal one.
