Problem Areas in the Market and Selecting My Micro Area

Like any other market place in India, monastery market too has many problem areas. Some areas we can fix and sadly some we can't. Some of the problems that are faced on a macro scale are as follows-

1. Sitting Area- There isn't any proper sitting arrangement in the market. Most of the customers were too tired but there wasn't any proper sitting arrangement.
2.No shed available- There isn't any shed to protect the people from harsh climate and this scorching summer heat or rain for that matter.
3. Drainage System- There is some problem with the drainage system as during the rainy season, the Yamuna river floods and results to Flash flood.

There are problems that are faced at micro level as well. I chose the fruit vendor as my micro area.his name is Navlesh and he's 22 years old. As a vendor, he is having problems organising fruits in that stand. His stand isn't portable and he has to stand at a place and he can't move around in the market. He doesn't have any shed above and there isn't any place to store the waste shavings of the fruits and cucumber.

So, I decided to make a cart for him that'll provide him to to move around the market and help him to keep the fruits organised and provide a shed over his head.

As a part of design process, I did mind mapping where I combined every kind of cart there is in the world and extracted some elements from each one of them.

After that, I designed some carts as an exploration and decided upon one.
