314 Trumbull Was Apparently Ill-Advised Again, Possibly By
314 BOOK REVIEWS Trumbull was apparently ill-advised again, possibly by expatriate administrators, as seen in his claim that, , Finally, the leadership class already existing under ancient custon is being expanded in depth everywhere by the spread of education, and I have found no significant disposition among the conservative oldsters to stifle the progressive young, despite the generation gap that obtrudes in family life. (282) Most observers of Micronesia would agree that one of the saddest aspects of develop- ment and change in the U.S. administered islands is the fact that the traditional leaders were, for the most part, by-passed in both education and political development. Of all the traditional leaders of Micronesia, there are but a few who are reasonably conver- sant in English, which is the language of government. None of the traditional para- mount chiefs holds an elected office of any consequence. Since I seem to be picking at the author, I may as well advise him to avoid giving spurious etymologies of exotic words. The item he cites as ghoose(p. 135) doesn't mean "bribe" or anything else in any of the languages of Fiji. Nor does Guahan by itself mean "we have". It is simply a place name, the Chamorro version of Guam. Possibly the best feature of this book is the anecdotal and personal touches that come from Mr. Trumbull's familiarity with and love for the islands themselves. Like many a Pacific War vet, he feels for the islands in a very special way which comes through in his writing.

Hawker Policy in Thailand
Legislative Council Secretariat FS12/13-14 FACT SHEET Hawker policy in Thailand 1. Background 1.1 Similar to many other Asian countries, Thailand has a long history of street vending. In Bangkok, the largest city in Thailand, street vending has provided local Thai people with cheap and convenient access to a wide range of goods and a means of making a living. According to a survey conducted by the International Labour Office1, a majority of street vendors surveyed were satisfied with their occupation because of the income earning opportunity and work autonomy.2 In recent years, street vending has also been considered as a way to nurture entrepreneurship, as well as adding to the tourist attractions of Bangkok by bringing vibrancy and vitality to the city. 1.2 In Bangkok, street vending has brought with it urban problems such as obstruction to pedestrian and vehicular traffic. It has also given rise to hygienic problem as many of street vending activities are related to the sale of cooked food along the streets. As such, the local government has designated various locations as street vending areas subject to regulatory controls such as the restrictions on the trading hours of street vendors. This fact sheet makes reference to the Bangkok city for the study of hawker policy in Thailand, covering information on the regulation and management of street vending, different forms of government-run markets, and the emergence of the new-generation street vendors. 1 International Labour Office is the permanent secretariat of the International Labour Organization. 2 See International Labour Office (2006a).

The Globalization of Chinese Food ANTHROPOLOGY OF ASIA SERIES Series Editor: Grant Evans, University ofHong Kong Asia today is one ofthe most dynamic regions ofthe world. The previously predominant image of 'timeless peasants' has given way to the image of fast-paced business people, mass consumerism and high-rise urban conglomerations. Yet much discourse remains entrenched in the polarities of 'East vs. West', 'Tradition vs. Change'. This series hopes to provide a forum for anthropological studies which break with such polarities. It will publish titles dealing with cosmopolitanism, cultural identity, representa tions, arts and performance. The complexities of urban Asia, its elites, its political rituals, and its families will also be explored.

Bangkok Street Food Variety and Its Relationship in Spatial Aspect Montouch Maglumtong, Navamindradhiraj University, Thailand The Asian Conference on the Social Sciences 2018 Official Conference Proceedings Abstract In Bangkok, the capital and the largest city of Thailand, street food provides local with cheap and convenient access to a variety of foods and a means of making a living. Even though, Thai foods are prepared daily in the most of every Thai households, yet, trading food has been a common economic activity since the old days. The development of street food became more functioning and part of daily consumption way of urban living, especially in the city where people spend most of the time outside their houses. Its contributions to urban life go beyond their own informal employment, as it generates demand and supply for a wide range of services provided by other informal and formal workers. This article purposes to examine the relationship between urban dining culture and food varieties in spatial planning aspect with Bangkok as an area of study. Street food business in fifty districts was investigated and analyzed into three parts: street food vendor, street food character, and street food location. The initial result shows that urban dining culture relates to street food distribution, but contrasts with the government policy, which concentrates on abolition. This will lead into policy suggestion for the importance of street food in the city.

Determinants of Eating at Local and Western Fast-Food Venues in an Urban Asian Population: a Mixed Methods Approach Nasheen Naidoo1, Rob M
Naidoo et al. International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity (2017) 14:69 DOI 10.1186/s12966-017-0515-x RESEARCH Open Access Determinants of eating at local and western fast-food venues in an urban Asian population: a mixed methods approach Nasheen Naidoo1, Rob M. van Dam2,3, Sheryl Ng2, Chuen Seng Tan2, Shiqi Chen4, Jia Yi Lim4, Mei Fen Chan4, Ling Chew4 and Salome A. Rebello2* Abstract Background: Like several Southeast Asian countries, Singapore has a complex eating-out environment and a rising eating-out prevalence. However the determinants and drivers of eating-out in urban Asian environments are poorly understood. Methods: We examined the socio-demographic characteristics of persons who frequently ate away from home in local eateries called hawker centres and Western fast-food restaurants, using data from 1647 Singaporean adults participating in the National Nutrition Survey (NNS) 2010. We also assessed the underlying drivers of eating out and evaluated if these were different for eating at local eateries compared to Western fast-food restaurants using 18 focus group discussions of women (130 women). Results: Participants reported a high eating-out frequency with 77.3% usually eating either breakfast, lunch or dinner at eateries. Main venues for eating-out included hawker centres (61.1% usually ate at least 1 of 3 daily meals at this venue) and school/workplace canteens (20.4%). A minority of participants (1.9%) reported usually eating at Western fast-food restaurants. Younger participants and those of Chinese and Malay ethnicity compared to Indians were more likely to eat at Western fast-food restaurants.

FEEDCITIES Project Protocol
FEEDcities project A comprehensive characterization of the street food environment in cities Project protocol 2019 I FEEDcities project A comprehensive characterization of the street food environment in cities Project protocol 2019 Abstract Introduction Ready-to-eat food sold in the street represents a global phenomenon, more common in urbanized areas, that constitutes an important dietary source in populations from low- and middle-income countries. However, research on the kind of street food offered and its composition is scarce. The main objective of this study is to characterize the urban street food environment, including vending places, the food offered, its nutritional composition, food purchasing patterns and advertising. Methods and analysis This protocol provides a framework for a stepwise, standardized characterization of the street food environment; it consists of three steps that are of increasing complexity and demand increasingly great human and technical resources. Step 1 comprises identification of street food vending sites and characterization of the products available; this stage may be complemented with an evaluation of food advertising in the streets. Step 2 comprises description of street food purchasing patterns, by direct observation. Step 3 requires collection of food samples for bromatological analysis. Different levels of data collection may be defined for each step; hereafter, these are presented as core and expanded evaluations. For the most part, data analysis involves descriptive statistics and basic spatial analysis. Ethics and dissemination This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Institute of Public Health of the University of Porto, Portugal. The research presents no risk to vendors or consumers, who will not be identified or identifiable through the information collected.

Strengthening Urban India's Informal Economy: the Case of Street Vending
JULY 2018 ISSUE NO. 249 Strengthening Urban India's Informal Economy: The Case of Street Vending RAMANATH JHA ABSTRACT Street vending was illegal in urban India for almost six decades until the passage of the Street Vendors Act in 2014. Despite the law having legalised the activity, however, the default policy in most cities across India is to clamp down on street hawkers. Yet street vending remains a viable source of employment for many. As the pace of urbanisation increases across India, it is only likely that a greater number of street traders will contest for space. This brief examines the spatial and legislative dimensions of street vending. It recommends that street vending be made into a planned activity, purposefully written into a city's urban plans.
