in addition to 60134 and 60234, any other community people sets?

[ks6349]

not the movie people set, not the space laboratory sets, 

because they are not the people we can normally see in our city.

Looks like only the set 60134 and 60234 will match the people we see around in the city? any other set?

The other two LEGO City "People Packs" there have been since that series started in 2016 are 60153 People Pack - Fun at the Beach (released summer 2017)and 60202 People Pack - Outdoor Adventures (released summer 2018). These types of sets will get you about the most numerous, varied, and detailed modern-day minifigures in a single purchase of any sets in recent years.

Another modern-day minifigure pack with fewer figures but still a more or less reasonable value are 40344 Summer Celebration Minifigure Pack (released summer 2019). This type of blister pack style minifig pack is new for this year. While there have been earlier styles with 3–5 minifigs for a similar price, very few of them were generic modern-day minifigs other than police or fire figs.

The main two exceptions are 850486 Rock Band Minifigure Accessory Set and 850449 Luau Minifigure Accessory Pack, which reused figures from the blind-bag minifigure series (sometimes with differently colored parts or printing). But of course, since they're long-retired, the price you'd probably have to pay for them now is probably far higher than you might like to spend for just three figures each.

The LEGO Education theme has had "Community Minifigure Sets" for a long time. The latest of these is 45022, which has a decent value as a figure pack, and as a bonus has figures representing a very wide variety of careers, archetypes, or subcultures with no unifying theme besides representing people within modern-day society.

Of course, unlike City sets, Education sets like this tend to consist entirely of reused parts from other sets and themes, and so sometimes can have more of a "mix-and-match" look without the same refinement of minifigures designed more for fans than for educators and more for play and collecting than for encouraging social/cognitive development. Previous examples include 9348, 9247-1, and 9247-2.  But the aftermarket prices are again kinda high, both because they're retired and because not a whole lot of people buy education sets who aren't educators.

I dunno if this helps but that's all I can think of. Good luck finding some options for populating your city!

If you want people for a city scene, why limit yourself to just large packs? The Collectible Minifigures line has produced loads of 'regular' people minifigures - butcher, baker, plumber, mechanics and loads of other jobs, plus lots of more civilian style people. Many are still readily available.

Expensive. Use bricklink and you can get them significantly cheaper.  Of course you will pay postage so order multiples at a time.

There's always a risk, but you can rate people on BrickLink for how reliable they are and quality of the pieces they send, like how damaged they are, etc. Lepin is not that big of a problem outside of Asia, either.

Can I distinguish Lepin from Lego with naked eyes?

When you have them physically, yes. By touch certainly (I've never handled Lepin myself, but I can tell from some pictures). Just look for reputable sellers outside of you country if you're worried and can afford the shipping and exchange rate.

No. If you buy from an established seller, you are very unlikely to get Lepin.

[knotian]

Based on the location, I believe they are looking for Asiatic figures.

Edited July 1, 2019 by knotian

[MAB]

What do you mean by asiatic here? Those sets look more western to me, but could fit into any City scene.

If you are interested in 'workers with hard hats' the cheapest way to get figures is with 60184-Mining Team. They sell for 9.99 and contain 4 workers, which makes it cheaper than building figures at the store for 3/$10
