ABSTRACT This paper identifies aspects of resilience taking effect in the marketplace and their influences on the roles of low-income traders and customers towards their households. Building on the concept of marketplace resilience and drawing from the findings from 42 publications on urban marketplaces in Africa, Asia and Latin America, this paper identifies the main functions and attributes of marketplaces that contribute or hinder the activities of traders and customers, the main disturbances they can experience in the marketplace and their strategies in building resilience. While this paper demonstrates the significance of marketplaces for the households of traders and customers, it also illustrates how disturbances in the marketplace and trade-offs to maintain trade during crises can negatively impact household needs and conditions, as well as the limited capacities of traders for improving their conditions. The paper finally argues for including marketplaces in resilience assessments and infrastructure studies in low-income urban contexts.

增强市场弹性:在非洲,亚洲和拉丁美洲城市的商人,客户和家庭研究中学习

摘要本文确定了弹性在市场中发挥作用的各个方面,以及它们对低收入交易者和客户对家庭的作用的影响。基于市场弹性的概念,并从42份关于非洲,亚洲和拉丁美洲的城市市场的出版物的调查结果中,本文确定了有助于或阻碍交易者和客户活动的主要市场功能和属性,主要干扰因素他们可以在市场上体验,并在建立抵御能力的策略方面经验丰富。尽管本文说明了市场对交易者和客户家庭的重要性,但同时也说明了市场的扰动和在危机期间维持贸易的权衡如何会对家庭的需求和条件产生负面影响,以及商人改善条件的能力有限。该论文最后提出在低收入城市环境中将市场包括在弹性评估和基础设施研究中。
