The study entitled “Sustainability of Selected Street food Vendors in Brgy. San Juan

Taytay, Rizal as Source of Income.”

The purpose of this study is to help young culinary students and entrepreneurs who

want to put up a Macro or Micro business in terms of deciding for the better source of income

for their chosen business. It is also be an inspiration and motivation for them to build a

business like street food.

shall be randomly selected through simple random sampling is sub-set of individuals chosen

from a larger set.

The data gathered in this study were treated coding which is an analytical process

through which data in both quantitative form and qualitative form are categorize to facilitate

analysis.

To determine the significant differences between demographic profile of the

respondent and the level of sustainability in terms of child education, daily needs, and budget

for bills, one way Anova single factor were used.

The Problem and its Background

This chapter presents the Introduction, Background of the Study, Statement of the

Problem, Hypothesis, Significance of the Study and Scope and Limitation.

Introduction

The street food industry has an important role in the cities and forms of many

developing countries in meeting the food demands of the urban dwellers (Muinde & Kuria,

2005). In developing countries, drinks meals and snacks sold by street food vendors are

widely by millions of people, these street foods provide an affordable source of nutrients to

many sectors of population. Street foods are well appreciated by consumers, because of their

taste, low price and availability at right time. Street foods are defined as ready-to-eat foods

and beverages prepared and/or sold by vendors on the street from push-carts or buckets or

balance poles or stalls or from shops having fewer than four permanent walls.

Street food are “ready to eat” food and beverages and sold by vendors especially

in the street and other similar public places. Most street food are classed as both finger food

and fast food and are cheaper on average than restaurant meals. Since it was cheaper than

any foods sold in shops and stalls many people must preferring street food and also because

it’s delicious, available and affordable.

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

The focus of this study entitled “Sustainability of Selected Street food Vendors in Brgy.

San Juan Taytay, Rizal as Source of Income”

8
 Street foods were undeniably one of the oldest and fastest growing industries in our

country (Mang Tony. 2012). It penetrated our culture that it became part of our everyday lives

especially those people in a hurry, in the middle of heavy workloads and never-ending

deadlines. For them street foods are not bad at all, in fact, it help them save time and money

as well. And this kind of business are very popular to our country and having a great

contribution to our economy, most of people are wanting to eat street foods because of the

affordable price. There is no doubt that food intake is essential for survival but an important

proportion of food consumption is driven by pleasure. Areas of street food vending are

generally park lots, public squares, local markets, or sidewalks of the cities, and those spaces

are easily accessible in walkable neighbourhoods. Although these attributes provide

convenience to some extent, in most cases consumers could only sit on a public bench or

eat by standing, and this may be a little uncomfortable for consuming food especially when

compared to the conventional restaurants. Since food itself and environment are important

stimulus for desire and consumption of the food (Mela. 2006), the vivid atmosphere of street

may evoke arousal and pleasure for customers and promise for an exciting and enjoyable

meal experience. (Newman. 2013) suggest that street food vendors significantly contribute

to create vibrant urban spaces which could deliver hedonic values despite its form of

uncomfortable consumption. (Vieira Cardoso. 2014) posit that people still continue to

consume street food although they have doubts about safety and quality of the food. As stated

before, atmosphere of street vending sites appears to have a direct and significant impact on

this sustained patronage. Supporting this view found that consumers rely on aesthetic

appearance of environment and trustworthiness of the vendor in street food consumptions.

Therefore, it is plausible to state that atmosphere of street foods which consists of ambience,

food, and social factors is expected to affect consumers’ perception of hedonism. More

specifically, vividness, liveliness and colourfulness of the atmosphere.

3. Is there a significant difference on the level of sustainability in terms of Child education,

Daily food needs o and Budget for bills.

The Quantitative research design used in the study is descriptive. A design seek to

describe the current status of a variable or phenomenon. The researchers does not begin

with a hypothesis, but it develops one after the data is collected- data collection is mostly

observation in nature.

Sample

The target population of those study are the street food vendors in Brgy. San Juan

Taytay Rizal during the third term of academic year 2019 of Taytay Senior High School

(TSHS)in Binhing Pag-asa Brgy. Dolores taytay Rizal those students are belong in technical

These samples shall be randomly selected through simple random sampling is sub-set of

individuals chosen from a larger set.

Research Instrument

The researcher instrument used this study is coding. Coding is an analytical process

in which data in both quantitative form and qualitative form are categorize to facilitate

analysis, Wikipedia (2016) that contains the choice of Strongly agree which is equivalent to

(4), Agree (3) Disagree (2) and the last is Strongly Disagree which is equivalent to (1).

Data Collection Procedure

you for the cooperation and appreciation of those study. The researchers went home and do

how to get the mean of the profile of every variable of the questionnaire.

19
frequency is 3 female which has the percentage of 15. Second profile is Age 51 above. The

third one is the Educational Attainment of the respondents the highest frequency is 17 the

Highschool Graduate has the percentage of 85 while the lowest frequency is 3 the elementary

who got the 15 percent.
