THESIS ADVISOR: CORAZON CATIBOG SINHA, Ph.D. 284.pp. The study focused on sustainable tourism management as well as on the conservation of a cultural heritage site - Sap Cham Pa Archaeological Site (SCAS) - and a natural heritage site - Cham Pi Sirindhorn Forest (CPSF). These sites are geographically adjacent to each other. This is the first research so far that determined the significance of heritage assets of the study area in the context of heritage conservation and sustainable tourism and from the perspectives of relevant stakeholders. The research was conducted from June, 2007 to November, 2009.The specific objectives of the study were to determine the cultural and natural features of the study sites, to determine the perceived values of the community with respect to conservation and tourism development, and to assess the potential and actual risks of and benefits from tourism. Management recommendations for each site were also provided. The research methods used include a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods: field observation, questionnaire survey, face-to-face interview, focus group discussion, and literature review. The data were analyzed using SPSS program Version 10.1.The Likert scale was used to rank the local perceptions on various aspects of tourism development and conservation.Using the Recreational Opportunity Spectrum (ROS) matrix, the recreational settings of SCAS and CPSF were identified Class 2 (semi-remote) and Class 4 (semi-developed), respectively. The Review of Environmental Factors (REF) yielded 12 major threats for SCAS, and 7 major threats for SPCF. Based on the results of the REF analysis, the threats needing immediate management attention were prioritized using the Recreation Threat Analysis (RTA). Management recommendations were given for each of the prioritized threats. A SWOT analysis was also conducted. Both sites have significant heritage values and are not only interesting tourist destinations but also important venues for research, learning, and education. The local perspectives about the values of the two sites are generally positive. The economic value was consistently ranked much higher than the cultural and educational values. The majority of respondents were interested in participating in all aspects of planning and management. However, they expressed the need to be trained in running tourism-related projects. The social conflicts among the stakeholders (i.e. between local farmers and the government) were mostly about land ownership and management directions. The main theme of the proposed management strategies is anchored on developing an integrated management approach, incorporating the heritage values of the two sites to achieve sustainable tourism and heritage conservation. The two sites, due to their geographic proximity, have to planned and managed in an integrated manner. All stages and aspects of planning and management should involve the local community and other relevant stakeholders to ensure collective action for sustainability.

    Journal of the Eastern Asia Society for Transportation Studies, Vol.13, 2019 GIS Based Monitoring Tool to Analyze Inland Waterway Accidents in Thailand Kanisa RUNGJANG a, Pattarapong PAKPOOM b a Department of Civil Engineering, Kasetsart University, Bangkok, 10900, Thailand a E-mail: [email protected] b Faculty of Engineering at Kamphang Saen, Kasetsart University, Nakhon Pathom, 73140 , Thailand b E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: This research aims to develop Geographical Information System (GIS) based monitoring tool to analyze vessel accidents of Ayutthaya inland waterway during the logistics growth period of Ayutthaya. Nationwide statistics along with this focus area in Thailand crucial commercial and passenger waterway route are studied and analyzed. As for the analysis of the inland waterway transportation by Chao Phraya and Pa Sak rivers within Ayutthaya is high risk according to index of International Maritime Organization (IMO), traversing by ships is now even more vulnerable. The analysis shows that the principal cause of accidents is human error. According to the records, the city has been growing while inland waterway logistics activities arises in last decade of Ayutthaya. The result is a combination of GIS tool and accident analysis. The government can manage inland waterway, monitor traffic accidents, and develop safety policy in Chao Phraya River and Pa Sak River to reduce accident. Keywords: Waterway Accident Analysis, Inland Waterway Safety, Urban Logistics, GIS 1. INTRODUCTION One important aspect with respect to the vessel traffic safety is risk analysis. This research is to analyze risk of inland waterway of Ayutthaya. As for the main inland waterborne logistics distributor of Thailand, Ayutthaya, the center of Siamese kingdom in 1350-1767 located in central plain of Thailand, is main region of inland waterway transportation system.

  • Collective Consciousness of Ethnic Groups in the Upper Central Region of Thailand
    Collective Consciousness of Ethnic Groups in the Upper Central Region of Thailand Chawitra Tantimala, Chandrakasem Rajabhat University, Thailand The Asian Conference on Psychology & the Behavioral Sciences 2019 Official Conference Proceedings Abstract This research aimed to study the memories of the past and the process of constructing collective consciousness of ethnicity in the upper central region of Thailand. The scope of the study has been included ethnic groups in 3 provinces: Lopburi, Chai-nat, and Singburi and 7 groups: Yuan, Mon, Phuan, Lao Vieng, Lao Khrang, Lao Ngaew, and Thai Beung. Qualitative methodology and ethnography approach were deployed on this study. Participant and non-participant observation and semi-structured interview for 7 leaders of each ethnic group were used to collect the data. According to the study, it has been found that these ethnic groups emigrated to Siam or Thailand currently in the late Ayutthaya period to the early Rattanakosin period. They aggregated and started to settle down along the major rivers in the upper central region of Thailand. They brought the traditional beliefs, values, and living style from the motherland; shared a sense of unified ethnicity in common, whereas they did not express to the other society, because once there was Thai-valued movement by the government. However, they continued to convey the wisdom of their ancestors to the younger generations through the stories from memory, way of life, rituals, plays and also the identity of each ethnic group’s fabric. While some groups blend well with the local Thai culture and became a contemporary cultural identity that has been remodeled from the profoundly varied nations.
