HISTORY OF HAWKER

After Secind World and Chinese Civil War, The people Republic of China was established at 1949. There are a large amount of people from China migrate to Hong Kong.

Because of those people did not have any skill, they can only provided the home food for citizen in Hong Kong. This was the originator of hawker.

Hong Kong is undergoing economuc take - off, but the lack of employment opportunities. So there are many people fall in hawker business. There are around 300 thousands hawker.

Since there are many hawkers in business, they grop at one place to selling the food. One of the famous place was Dai Tat Dai where is the night bazaar.

The Hong Kong Government took to rectify the street environment, city health grounds as reason, o tighten hawker policy, strengthening enforcement against unlicensed hawkers and stop issuing hawker license.

Come to 1980s, Hong Kong economic already take off. Also entry a period so-call “The shark fin fishes the food”, (魚翅撈飯), most of the people have acceptable in their prices.

It is because of the standard of living per capita increase, the employment oppor tunities also increase, that let hawker become disappear.

Street F ood H awkers All types of Hawker is important to Hong Kong Culture and history. However I decide to choose Street Food Hawker and Street Food Culture as my design object. Here are my reason.

1. Necessity When I look at the different types of hawkers in Hong Kong or Even other country, I will judge its successful by the develop tendency. Taking these 4 types of hawkers as an example, The situations of others three are stable or even developing. More and More young design join hand craft fair. The new design of Pai Dong is provided for some rebuilding. However, Street Food culture is suppressed and disappeared by multireasons. If we do not do something For it, I afraid Street Food culture will be lost on some days.

2. Social Justice There is a label of street food hawker, “Illegal�.

Comparaing to New Year Fair, Comparaing

to Pai Dong Hawker, even comparing to other mobile hawkers. They also work with same purpose, self-reliance, but street food hawker have to face much more pressure from police, FEHD, estates security. this is totally unfair to them in my opinion.

I am thinking of what designers can do to improve their situation. For example, making this activity to be legal under some rule and mangement, but not totally shutdown the culture.

3. Social Relationship Beside the culture. Beside the history.

Beside the justice. There is one more character can be showed in street food culture.

That is the social bonding. The street food hawkers shows the natual of social relationship between neighbour. Nowaday people buy things in a shop , serviced by a salesperson. The bondind of human is reduce because there are more factor between us, like company, brand. People buy products under trust of brand but not people. Streetfood culture is one of few activity can shows how similar of social phenomenon.

Making questions simple and easy to understand will make people more willing to answer it. Then the data base will increase.

We made questionnire for getting the objective comment and sensual opinions. Intuitional question can help to get true answer. There is less factors of answer with intuition.

We tries to set the questions in diversification.

There is a lot of regions related to street food hawkers that we need to consult. If the questions only point to few elements, we will be lost easily in the future development.

INTRODUCTION After doning the reserch, I started to develop the project under the result and goal concluded in first two stages. Comparing to first two stages. This stage is more important because the feature of design is fixed in this stage and many decision have to be made in this stage.

Sketching is very important in expression and visualization. I sketch a lot in this stage. Many form of cart is come out in my idea but I gave put many of them. This is necessary for doing creation and filtration.

Before the final design concept, I have a mid-term presentation. It is good for me to arrange the idea and clear the idea.

I also have time to think more the relationship between street food and society and people.

D evelopm e n t

PROJECT GOAL Project Objective

As viewing the value of Hong Kong street food culture. I put my focus on activating hawker cart and “street sweeping” culture.

Hawkersin Hong Kong is representing the Hong Kong spirits. Those are “Adversity”, “Hard Struggle”, “Flexibility and adaptability” and “Creativity”. Under the change of society condition, people seem that slowly that slowly forget the precious element which made Hong Kong success.

I hope hawker carts and street foods can recalled Hongkongers’memories. At the same time, the culture can be conserved and let the future generation feel them.

Here are the fundamental targent of development of this design project.

The development later is based on these targets. When the design is going to differnet stages, I can use this to check wheather the design is fit for the basis target or not.

The concept and development of these target are showed in the next few pages. The list put this page since the relationship of them and design objective are closed.

D evelopm e n t

MIND-MAPPING In this stage, I try to manage the data I got and seperate them to different group. the one with more conection should be more important. After i did some mind mapping this time, I had a clearer mind to know what should a do in the next step and get a clear design direction.

D evelopm e n t

CHALLENGES Economic

According to our findings, the main reasons why hawker carts have been disappear, they are come from three challenges.

Livelihood

Policy

Economic is a important element in a business. We hoped the designed system can give both economical benifits to hawkers and whole economic environment.

Street food is a object appearing in surrounding. How to make it to integrate in harmony is one challege. Making street food hawkers close to our dailylife but do not disturb it.

For keeping the competitiveness of the hawkers, then they can survive in the free - market.

We will try to keep Diversification of street food to enhance the attration and reduce vicious competition.

On the other hands, street food is one of our collective memories, therefore we need to try reverting it in some of the part.

Street food hawker is a culture appered in the past but outlawed by the governmnent in the past. There must be some reason make the government do so. If those problems are not solved. The planning of activation of street food culture would be successed.

A complete policy of running it is need in the design.

LIFE Life & Culture

Economic

Hong Kongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s development nowaday is too emphasis on economic. It is not health to a city. We believe the value of economic, life & cultures are equally important. Therefore we searched an object that can help to balance the current situation.

ECONOMIC

CULTURE

D evelopm e n t

As the design object are Hawker cart.

Study of hawker cart is needed.

I focus the study on two areas.

One is the structure of hawkers cart. Fish-ball Hawker cart is popular, so I choose to use it to study.

Because of the limit of time, I believe I do not have enough time to do all the thing. I tried to focus on a type of hawkers design. And my study object is fish ball hawker cart.

FEATURES OF DESIGN

01 After concidering the feasibility and working methods, I discovered both hardwares and softwares are

System Design

needed in this project. The hardwares are included all facilities for making it work. And softwares are talked about the plan and policies.

Hawker Cart Design

In this project, The main design will be focus on Hawker Cart Design, since there are number of problems are directly come form carts and can be solved by it.

Secondly, The Minor deisgn will be the system. The planning, workng processes will be developed in system design.

02 We discovered that street food is not

only a special food. It actually have strong relationship to citizen, Economic and culture. In the future development, I should be care that whether the design take care all regions here.

Citizen

03 One of hawker carts â&#x20AC;&#x2DC; character is Movible. Therefore the design of cart is need to be considered the different situations on starting and closing business. In the original design, the form does not have too much change on different stages. Therefore, some change on them may give better users experiences.

For example, The handle is no need to be used when the cart is on business. If the handle can be shelved or transform, the practicality of the cart will be increased.

CONCEPTS OF HAWKER CART I strated to design the cart from solving the problem of hygiene. If this problem can not be solved. Even we move to the next step to do other development, the feature will not be complete and may not be feasible.

After making some idea on hygiene problem, I tried to design a possible system. And thinking how hawker cart design can act in connect to the system.

MID-TERM CONCEPT DESIGN After half of th etime of Develop period. I tried to gather my idea to provide a preliminary concept of design.

There are some main point in this stage of concept. I developed the project in two important regions, one is street food hawker cart design, one is system design.

I believe I have to get a balance between them as there is sucessful of project with both of them is designed completely.

Details Of Hawker Cart Design

Transparence Cover Design In trandition, The cooking pot is usually open to the air. These is high chance for pollution as the cart is used on the streets or public areas. Also, the air quality near the street is poor. Many dust in the air may be in touch with food.

However there is some benefits with using open cooking devices. People can see the quality of food and smell them before buy. Hong Kong people like to judge the taste of food by “Color, Flavour, Taste”.

Therefore, In the design I try to keep the food can be see but discontact to the environment.

The transparence cover is made by high hardnessplastic, There are some holes added on the cover and they have some function. on the hawker’s side, the holes allow hawkers’ hands get in the to cook the food and handle the food, including giving food to customers.

On the customer’s side. I reference the design of bank counters, there is a gap under the plastic cover for pssing the food from cooking device to customer.

Portable Sink Design Hawker Carts are aleays lack of device for hawkers cleaning the cooking area and their hands. In the past, they choose to use a wet towel to do so. However, a towel used over a night. people can imagine how dirty it is. I think this is not a good way for cleanig.

New cleaning method must come out.

The portable sink design can let the hawkers washing their hand without

Wireless Charging Design leaving their cart. Container can store clean water and used water at the same time but seperately. It can solves the problem of environment pollution made by hawkers.

After the working period, hawkers can change the water easily by taking out the container.

In before, If street food hawker need fire to cook, the fuel they used areburing fuels like Kerosene, charcoal, etc.

Firstly, burning fuel is dangerous. The cart will get fire easily. Also. the funstion of burning fuel is limited. The fuel can only provides the cooking function. For example, users can not lighting up or freezing food by burning fuel. electricity is a better power. It is safety,

clean and high transferability.

Wireless charger is provide in cart park for the hawker charging their own cart.

Electricity will replace triditional fuel for increasing the safety level.

Chargable battery is built in the cart.

Government provides a place for storing the carts.

Hawkers can refill the water and charge batteries in carts.

CONCEPTS OF HAWKER CART After the mid-term presentation, I continued the development. I first study more and clear the concepts I picked in the mid -term.

Because of better study in some concept, some of them I gave up and added some new features in the design.

I started to fix the form and material of the new designed hawker cart. This is interesting on getting balance between tradition and innovition. My design can not be totally new.

It will destory the feel and emotion of people. I kept some characters of traditional hawker car. For example, some part is made by wood. Because wood is a main material of old hawker cart.

Lighting Desingn At night, lighting is not enough to hawker and customers sometime. I think a new designed hawker cart should have lighting function. Therefore, I tried to put this function in the design.

Wheel Design In the observation, traditional hawker cart is not good for pushing. I think the problem is coome from the wheel design. Therefore, I redesign the wheel to made hawkers can push carts more easily and safely.

Customization As we know there is many differnet type of hawkers. the devices they needed are also different . For lower the cost, I though if a can change the device in my design, then this design can fit to every hawkers.

I made the hawker cart becoming customization. Based on what the hawkers need, the devices can be changed. it can made it fit to every hawkers.

Applicaiton Design Nowaday, appication can help a lot in promotion. Also, it provide a interactib=ve platform to people building communication.

I designed a app system which canuse it to track the location of carts and give comment to them, Peopl e also can share the food they like to their friends by communication platform.

Zones With Different Funcitons I tried to increase the efficiency of hawker bu redesigning the cart. It will give too benefits.

Increasing the rate of selling food can reduce the number of people waiting to call food and get food. Also, it can help to increase the turnover of hawkers because they can sell more in a hour.

PROTOTYPE As there are many part in my design. I faced a lot of problems in making the prototype of Hawker Cart.

I Used 2 different type of 3D method to build most of parts of Cart and improve the finishing and color by myself. Some transparent parts like the cover I use laser cut to build the part.

There is about a week for making this prototype. The assemble can be changed for better presenting.

CUSTOMIZING SYSTEM

TRANSFORMING SYSTEM The needs of hawker from the cart is different between displacing and doing business.

The design of trnasformation can give the cart more suitable in two different stutus.

The handle can transforms to be lamp for providing extra- light.
