We instill our employees to apply their knowledge and experience to create shared value, as well as embrace the mindset towards resources conservation, such as saving energy and water consumption, promote the development of green buildings and cessation of plastic bags, and increase the use of solar cell as a source of renewable energy to minimize the impact to the environment.

    Thailand Ramindra – At Narong Expressway Construction Project (I) (II) Report Date: January 2003 Field Survey: December 2002 1. Project Profile and Japan’s ODA Loan Myanmar Hanoi Laos Vientiane Yangon Thailand Project site Bangkok Cambodia Vietnam Phnom Penh Project site: Bangkok Ramindra – At Narong Expressway 1.1 Background The percentage coverage of the road network1 in the Thai capital, Bangkok, is extremely low as compared to other global capitals, moreover, in qualitative terms the network has heterogeneous defects; the width and grade of the roads lacks continuity, there are instances where the shape and positioning of interchanges is inappropriate, and there are zones in which the road density is exceptionally low. In consequence, economic growth, population increases, and the surge in private car traffic has led to increasingly severe traffic congestion in the Bangkok Metropolitan Region(BMR)2, constraining urban functions in various ways. The northern region of Bangkok metropolis3 have witnessed particularly marked population growth relative to the metropolitan region as a whole and by 2007, it is predicted that a third of the city’s population will reside in this regions. However, despite a surge in vehicle ownership there are few north-south routes linking this region with the center of the city, and the businesses located between Bang Pa In and Rangsit in northern Bangkok, which transport goods into and out of Klong Toey Port in the south, are recognized to be contributing to traffic congestion. 1.2 Objectives To meet increased traffic demand accompanying population growth in Bangkok metropolis in the northeast and to ease north-south traffic congestion, the project aimed to expand the north-south 1 Road coverage percentage = road surface area/administrative land area × 100 (%) 2 A region including the areas of Nonthaburi, Samut Prakarn, Samut Sakorn, Phathumthani, and Nakhorn Pathom, plus the Bangkok special zones.

    Keeping It Alive: Mapping Bangkok’s Diverse Living Culture Bussakorn Binson+ Pattara Komkam++ Pornprapit Phaosavadi+++ and Kumkom Pornprasit++++ (Thailand) Abstract This research project maps Bangkok’s living local culture sites while exploring, compiling and analyzing the relevant data from all 50 districts. This is an overview article of the 2011 qualitative !eld research by the Urban Research Plaza and the Thai Music and Culture Research Unit of Chulalongkorn University to be published in book form under the title Living Local Cultural Sites of Bangkok in 2012. The complete data set will be transformed into a website fortifying Bangkok’s cultural tourism to remedy its reputation as a destination for sex tourism. The !ve areas of cultural activity include the performing arts, rites, sports and recreation, craftsmanship, and the domestic arts. It was discovered that these living local cultural sites mirror the heterogeneity of its residents with their diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds. There are local culture clusters of Laotians, Khmers, Mon, Chinese, Islam, Brahman-Hinduism, and Sikhs as well as Westerners. It was also found that the respective culture owners are devoted to preserve their multi-generational heritage. The natural beauty of these cultural sites remains clearly evident and vibrant, even though there remain dif!culties hampering their retention. The mapping of these sites are discussed as well as the issues surrounding those cultural sites that are in danger of extinction due to the absence of successors and other supportive factors necessary for their sustainability.

  • Development of a Model for Organizing Cultural Activities to Study Buddhist Teachings at Temples in Bangkok, Thailand

E-mail: [email protected] Received: March 29, 2013 Accepted: May 18, 2013 Online Published: June 28, 2013 doi:10.5539/ass.v9n9p64 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5539/ass.v9n9p64 Abstract Buddhism is an intrinsic feature of Thai culture. With a ninety percent Buddhist population, Thailand has been built around the principles of Dharma. These principles have traditionally been taught to the local community by temples, through a variety of different activities. Recently, however, Thai society has adopted an increasing number of Western cultural features that have caused the importance of traditional Buddhist activities to decline. This research tries to understand the reasons for the decline of community interest in local Buddhist activities in Bangkok, so to propose a model for the organization of such activities and ensure that they are not lost to future generations. Keywords: Buddhism, temple, activity, culture, society, organization, development 1. Introduction Buddhism originated in India two thousand five hundred years ago at a time of many religions and doctrines. Each of these religions and doctrines had ancient foundations of belief, making it extremely difficult for Buddhism to occur.

Abstract The motivation behind the research was the “in-between” concept that is crucial in order to make the distinction between the place and the concept itself.

Moreover, it is to apprehend the complexities around the usage of public and private spaces by integrating social criteria that reflects the particularity of Thai uniqueness and how it is used to maintain the relationship between them.
