One of the professions, known as street vendors, is spread along the Losari Beach area, dominating the livelihoods there. As a result of the uncontrolled development of street vendors, becoming the symbol of Losari Beach known as the 'World's Longest Table', was then removed after the first relocation occurred at the end of 2000. These changes then continued to be implemented through the years, giving rise to a number of negative responses from traders who felt disadvantaged, but despite, there is a tendency for street vendors to continue selling in places where it is prohibited, even when they have to deal with The Municipal Police Unit. This research was conducted to measure the attachment level of street vendors to Losari Beach, Makassar and the factors that influenced its establishment. The sampling technique was carried out using a cluster proportionate sampling approach at the three pavilions on Losari Beach (the Platform, the Metro, and the the TorajaMandar). Data collection techniques using questionnaires and interviews. The analytical method used is a quantitative method with descriptive statistical analysis using SPSS. The results showed that a number of respondents had a place attachment of 78% which was included in the high category level. The area with high attachment is at the Losari Beach Platform, where the dimension of place dependence is the dimension most felt by street vendors. The research results also found that location characteristic factors such as accessibility, vitality, and landmarks also have an influence on the attachment of Losari Beach street vendors. Apart from that, the length of time of selling and the location of selling are also personal factors that also influence the results of attachment to street vendors.
