Introduction Tourism Community (Community- Based Tourism) is another form of tourism, which is popular at current. It is associated with the 20-year national strategy (2017-2036) and the 12th National Economic and Social Development Plan (2017-2021), led by the Department of Community Development, namely the OTOP Inno-Life Project. It focuses on reducing social inequality and improving the stability of the economic foundation. The innovation is combined with the lifestyle in local productions along with the community- based tourism in order to change the circumstance of the OTOP goods export to the local sales. It aims to conduct the characteristics, wisdom, lifestyles, cultures, and creativities of the community to attract tourists who have the purchasing power to purchase in the products in the local market. According to the concept of this project, the government declared that it would be an opportunity to provide jobs and increase income for the community. It is a true foundation for economic development. Phu Kamyao District is located in the west of Phayao Province, Thailand. It has a border with neighboring Districts. North is connected with Mae Chai District and Pa Daet District (Chiang Rai Province). East is connected with Dok Kham Tai District. South is connected with Dok Kham Tai District and Mueang Phayao District. West is connected with Mueang Phayao District. Subdivisions are divided into 3 sub-Districts with 41 villages, including Huay Kaew SubDistrict with 17 villages, Dong Chen SubDistrict with 16 villages, and Mae Ing SubDistrict with 8 villages. Based on the myth of Phayao, Phu Kamyao District is an ancient kingdom in the past of Phayao Province, approximately 900 years old, combined with abundant natural resources, lifestyle, culture, customs, 12822 ISSN: 2005-4238 IJAST Copyright ⓒ 2020 SERSC International Journal of Advanced Science and Technology Vol. 29, No. 03, (2020), pp. 12822 - 12833 traditions, and wisdom of people in the community that still maintain their traditional way. These characteristics of the traditional way can drive or encourage tourism in the community. Particularly, if organized tourism activities have sufficient value to attract tourists to visit in the community, it will result in people in the community, providing jobs, earning income, and having a healthy life forever. This result benefits for people in the community, which is the goal of government agencies in every sector, whether at the national, provincial, or local levels. According to the concept of development in OTOP Inno-Life community-based tourism of the government has to strengthen the foundation economy and distribute income to the community, combined with the capital in the nature, culture, and local knowledge of the people in the Phu Kamyao District. Therefore, researchers proposed the concept of development in the OTOP Inno-Life community-based tourism is suitable to the environment for the community in Phu Kamyao District, Phayao Province. The project conceptual framework can be divided into 3 phases, as shown in Figure 1. Phase 1 is a study process related to the factors that result in traveling to the community of customers and the pattern of development in the OTOP Inno-Life community-based tourism that corresponds to the needs of customers and the environment of Phu Kamyao District. The customers refer to tourists or tour agencies that bring tourists into the community. Phase 2 is a study process that involves the analysis and development of potentials, resources, or activities. It aims to organize tourism activities that are valuable enough to attract tourists to visit and buying goods in the community. Phase 3 is a study process related to the success factors that will result in the development of true and sustainable community tourism. Figure 1: Project Conceptual Framework As the conceptual framework of the study of development in the OTOP Inno-Life community-based tourism in Phu Kamyao District, Phayao Province, shown in Figure 1, it demonstrates the Phase 1. The objective is to identify factors that influence the decision to develop the OTOP Inno-Life community-based tourism and the model corresponding to the environment in Phu Kamyao District.

    Rankantha et al. BMC Public Health (2018) 18:1138 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12889-018-6025-1 RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access Risk patterns of lung cancer mortality in northern Thailand Apinut Rankantha1,2, Imjai Chitapanarux3,4,5, Donsuk Pongnikorn6, Sukon Prasitwattanaseree2, Walaithip Bunyatisai2, Patumrat Sripan3,4,5 and Patrinee Traisathit2,7* Abstract Background: Over the past decade, lung cancers have exhibited a disproportionately high mortality and increasing mortality trend in Thailand, especially in the northern region, and prevention strategies have consequently become more important in this region. Spatial analysis studies may be helpful in guiding any strategy put in place to respond to the risk of lung cancer mortality in specific areas. The aim of our study was to identify risk patterns for lung cancer mortality within the northern region of Thailand. Methods: In the spatial analysis, the relative risk (RR) was used as a measure of the risk of lung cancer mortality in 81 districts of northern Thailand between 2008 and 2017. The RR was estimated according to the Besag-York-Mollié autoregressive spatial model performed using the OpenBUGS routine in the R statistical software package. We presented the overall and gender specific lung cancer mortality risk patterns of the region using the Quantum Geographic Information System. Results: The overall risk of lung cancer mortality was the highest in the west of northern Thailand, especially in the Hang Dong, Doi Lo, and San Pa Tong districts. For both genders, the risk patterns of lung cancer mortality indicated a high risk in the west of northern Thailand, with females being at a higher risk than males.
