Abstract

Bali's economy, which heavily relies on tourism, exhibits a high level of vulnerability to external shocks. When the formal sector contracts, the informal sector of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) emerges as an economic safety valve. This study aims to discover and describe the essence of lived experiences and analyze the real role of street vendors (PKL) and traditional market traders in Tabanan Public Market in safeguarding household economies from the threat of poverty. Employing a qualitative approach with a phenomenological study design, data were gathered through semi-structured in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation from informants selected via purposive sampling. Data analysis followed Moustakas’ explorative phenomenological stages, encompassing horizonalization, clustering of themes, and synthesizing the essence of the phenomenon. The findings reveal three core existential themes: distress-driven motives as a turning point into trading due to economic shocks, psychological resilience facing daily struggles in the market, and the profound meaning of daily income earmarked for basic domestic needs and cultural ritual obligations (yadnya). This study concludes that the informal sector acts as an effective, self-reliant socioeconomic safety net maintaining family financial resilience. Local governments are recommended to implement humane spatial planning policies and inclusive market revitalization programs for small-scale traders.
