  • Tourism Planning and Destination Marketing: Towards a Community-Driven Approach a Case of Thailand
    Tc.urism Planning and Destination Marketing: Towards a Community-Driven Approach A Case of Thailand A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirement for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy At Lincoln University By Jutamas (Jantarat) Wisansing Lincoln University 2004 Abstract of a thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirement for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Tourism Planning and Destination Marketing: Towards a Community-Driven Approach A Case of Thailand By Jutamas (Jantarat) Wisansing This thesis argues that while analysing markets and developing strategies to exploit the external market place and to attract tourists remains a central focus for tourism marketers, it is not enough on its own to achieve sustainable tourism destination development. The researcher substantiates this argument by exploring the 'participatory tourism planning' concept in detail. Based on this approach, the community is identified as a primary customer for whom tourism marketers have ignored involving in their marketing attention, messages and programmes. The fundamental concept - marketing orientation and customer orientation - combined with emerging marketing theories were reviewed.in order to help examine how destination marketing, a community-driven approach, should be implemented within a destination area. This examination of marketing and community based tourism planning set a platform for this research. This analysis examines relevance, applicability and potential for an integration of these two pervasive approaches for tourism planning. ii Guided by the theoretical examination, an integrated community-based tourism planning and marketing model was proposed. In order to explore gaps between the proposed model and its practicality, three destination areas (Phuket, Samui and Songkla-Hatyai) in Thailand were studied and evaluated.

  • Songkhla Provincial Administrative Organization
    Songkhla Provincial Administrative Organization Effective Integrated Pre-hospital Emergency Care System Abstract The unpleasant world championship, According to the World Atlas website, about the country with the highest road deaths in the world in 2017, Thailand has moved up to the top of the world. It was found that the death rate was 36.2 cases per 100,000 populations. While government policies have been set up to prevent road accidents, including accident relief measures. The emphasis is on the preparation of the emergency medical service system so that people can access the emergency medical system thoroughly, equally and with standard quality. Therefore, they have set up a notification and dispatch center in every province, using the number 1669 as the emergency notification and emergency number to assist emergency patients in a timely manner. Ther centers will be set up with the hospital in each province. Songkhla Provincial Administrative Organization has created an innovative approach to integrating the new dimension of work in order to help people with illnesses and emergency situations thoroughly and effectively. It was set up as a public service by the local government based on authority and mission that was effectively transferred. This serves the needs of people in all areas, enhances people's quality of life and reduces the rate of loss of life and disability of people in the area. We hope that this innovation will be useful for the development of emergency medical systems for local governments in all areas. More importantly, we would like to thank all the working groups and networking parties involved in driving this innovation.

  • Smoking Behaviour and Associated Factors of Illicit Cigarette Consumption in a Border Province of Southern Thailand
    Smoking Behaviour and Associated Factors of Illicit Cigarette Consumption in a Border Province of Southern Thailand Chittawet Ketchoo A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Epidemiology Prince of Songkla University 2011 Copyright of Prince of Songkla University i ii iii iv Thesis Title Smoking Behaviour and associated factors of illicit cigarette consumption in a border province of southern Thailand Author Mr.Chittawet Ketchoo Major Programme Epidemiology Academic year 2010-2011 ____________________________________________________________ Abstract Background: Consumption of illicit cigarettes poses a serious threat to public health as well as being a source of huge losses in government revenues. It brings tobacco onto the market cheaply, making cigarettes more affordable and thus stimulating consumption, especially among the youth group, consequently increasing the burden of ill-health. Illicit cigarette sabotages national tobacco taxation and tobacco control strategies and has become a major concern for governments and international organizations. Therefore, it is important to understand this problem thoroughly in order to reduce it. The high magnitude of illicit cigarette trade in southern Thailand offers an opportunity to examine the situation of illicit cigarette consumption. Objectives: To investigate behaviours and factors associated with illicit cigarette consumption in southern Thailand. Methodology: A survey and qualitative study were conducted in a border province in southern Thailand next to Malaysia. A modified snowballing technique was used to recruit 300 illicit and 150 non-illicit cigarette smokers. A structured questionnaire v was used to interview subjects. Smoking behaviours and associated factors with illicit cigarette consumption were analysed by complex survey regression adjusted for a cluster of samples identified by each recruiter.

Doctor of Engineering (Environmental Engineering), Major Field: Environmental Engineering, Department of Environmental Engineering. Thesis Advisor: Associate Professor Winai Liengcharernsit, D.Eng. 165 pages. In the past few decades, rapid population growth in Thailand has resulted in excess utilization of natural resources and degradation of environmental quality. Deforestation in sloping areas for agricultural and residential purposes has resulted in soil erosion from deforested areas with subsequent sediment transport and deposition in receiving water bodies. In order to evaluate the severity of this problem, a mathematical model is developed to simulate sediment transport phenomena in a receiving water body. In model development, total sediment transport is classified as bedload transport and suspended load transport, which result in two interrelated transport models. Three-dimensional mass balance equation is used as a basic governing equation for the suspended load transport model, whereas two-dimensional mass balance equation is used as a basic governing equation for the bedload transport model.
