The country with an area of 236,800 sq km, is divided into 19 provinces. The Lao population is 6.8 million people (estimated early 2009) with a population density of 27 people per sq km. Around 80% of the population live in rural and mountainous areas relying on subsistence rice farming. This small country is still home to some 49 ethnic groups whose lifestyles have remained relatively unchanged for centuries. Weather and Map The Laos climate is mainly tropical, with a seasonal monsoon and this means the weather is warm, humid and there is a lot of rain in the wet season. The average temperature is around 29°C (84°F). During the warmest months the temperature can rise to 40°C (100°F+). In cooler months the temperature often drops to 15-20°C (58-68°F) at night in lower land like Vientiane and it can drop to below freezing in the mountainous areas.

  • 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.

During SRT’s long history, it has passed through many modernization phases to improve the organization but although SRT and other authorities are working closely on railway reconstruction plans, there have been few changes in the SRT administration due to internal and external factors. Currently, the government has provisionally approved an investment of about 180 billion baht (US$5.8 billion) in SRT to develop rail by upgrading the existing infrastructure; these plans include the Track and Bridge Rehabilitation Project, Track Doubling Project, Electric Diesel Locomotive Purchasing Project, Installing Signalling and Level Crossing Project, etc. In addition, SRT has implemented a Restructuring Plan by establishing three business units: Traffic, Property, and Rolling Stock Maintenance, as well as one subsidiary to operate the Airport Rail Link Project.

  • Executive Summary
    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Context and Objectives Infrastructure is a key factor in economic development. Infrastructure development can also help in narrowing gaps between developed and backward regions. Infrastructure, especially transport and connectivity, is crucial for regional cooperation and integration. In the absence of efficient physical connectivity, any initiatives taken towards regional trade liberalization will remain ineffective. The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) secretariat has identified infrastructure development as one of the Priority Integrated Sectors (PIS) of the ASEAN economic community. It would also be of crucial importance for programmes of regional economic cooperation and integration within the East Asia Summit (EAS) framework. It was in that context that infrastructure development was studied as part of the work programme of the Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia (ERIA). This project aims to analyze the current status, issues, and challenges facing infrastructure development in East Asia and examine the role that regional cooperation can play in meeting these challenges. Specific objectives include 1) examining infrastructure rankings of EAS countries in terms of availability and quality of infrastructure development globally as well as within the region and progress made over time; 2) surveying and analyzing the status of infrastructure development, issues, and challenges faced by different EAS countries; 3) collecting basic geographical data at the subregional level and developing a spatial economic model to simulate various effects xii of infrastructure development on contiguous subnational regions. Methodology The study adopted a three-pronged approach to achieve its objectives. The methodology followed included the construction of an East Asian Index of Infrastructure Development.
