    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.

  • Case Study of Klong Chan Flat, Bangkok
    Analysis of Community Safety Conditions of an Old Public Housing Project: Case Study of Klong Chan Flat, Bangkok Tanaphoom Wongbumru1, * and Bart Dewancker2 1 Faculty of Architecture, Rajamangala University of Technology Thanyaburi, Pathumthani 12110, Thailand 2 Faculty of Environmental Engineering, The University of Kitakyushu, Fukuoka 808-0135, Japan Abstract Safety, in regards of all aspects, is considered a major priority to community. The residents perceived their safety through physical surroundings of living places. Accordingly, a long-established, old public housing community with open access, Klong Chan Flat, was chosen to be examined regarding safety issues through field survey and questionnaire. The results showed Klong Chan Flat is divided into three scale of safety-concerned areas; dwellings (installed with window and door grilles), buildings (provided with CCTV, lighting, and motorcycle docking), and community (stationed with a police check-point). The overall satisfaction towards community safety of residents staying in buildings with fully provided CCTV, lighting, motorcycle docking, and unsafe community area resulted in a significant relationship of these variables at .05. The motorcycle docking and lighting are found to be an important element of building safety with its high correlation value at .631 and .507 respectively. In addition, five significant spots evidenced with high criminal incidents were identified through an interview from residents and police information. Consequently, more surveillance must be acted upon and focused on physical conditions as well as building maintenance and management. These results conferred a baseline data of initial investigation of old public housing project towards safety issues. Thus, these significant factors are to be determined in terms of safety management to enhance standard and quality of living of the * Corresponding author.
