SATHIT CHOOSAENG. 105 pp. Interpretation has became an important part of how we manage and understand our heritage. It is part of a range of heritage related communication projects that includes marketing, visitor information and orientation. These forms of communication often use the same media as interpretation, such as panels and leaflets, but there are crucial differences between them. Marketingกั หอ materials,สมุด forก ลexample, try to sell a heritage product, whilst visitor informationำ tellsน people what there is toา doง and see, and orientation helps people find their way around.ส Interpretation, on the other hand, reveals the underlying story and meaning of its subject. Just because a site has some information panels does not mean it is being interpreted. Bang Luang market has a long history with regard to its heritage value in both physical and social terms. It was established in 1903 by a group of Chinese migrants. Nowadays, the Bang Luang market is not as crowded as in the past due to the road construction and the fact that the Tha Chin River is no longer the main transportation route. The role of the market as a commercial center of the surrounding areas has been further diminished. Because of these factors, the economy of this Chinese community declined and the traditional way of life of the Chinese traders in the Bang Lauang market was changed. Even though the Bang Luang market today is not as active as in the past, it has the values to be a cultural tourist destination because of its historic narrative and authentic architecture. This local community should, therefore, conserve the authenticity and the integrity of its vernacular architecture with suitable conservation plans and an attractive interpretation for developing Bang Luang community and its local market into a sustainable, cultural, tourist destination. This research provides an overview of the issue, opportunities, policies and recommendations for the development of interpretative planning in the Bang Luang community and identifies key factors associated with successful heritage interpretation there. Moreover, the research is also focused on the significance of the community in the market area including the historical, social culture heritage, the geographical entity of the area and its boundaries together with its legal standing in order to interpret information efficiently for tourists and local people. ________________________________________________________________________________________ Program of Architectural Heritage Management and Tourism Graduate School, Silpakorn University Student‟s signature……………………………………………………… Academic Year 2012 Research Project Advisor‟s signature…………........................................................................... iii Acknowledgements The person I must mention first is my supervisor; Assistant Professor.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 4 8 1 0 6 - 1346 Abstract The majority of research for this thesis took place during the Thai general election of 1988 when the new religious movements Santi Asoke and Wat Dhammakaya were subject to investigation for political activity despite, respectively, defiance or denial. The relationship between the Thai Sangha and lay devotees is examined in order to discover how it is that Thai monks, whom many researchers find powerless, can be accused of political activity. In the past, monks have been used to legitimate lay political leaders and have taken active roles in local leadership. This thesis aims to determine whether monks in Thailand have power and, if they do, how such power becomes politically threatening to the status quo.

    Care for the Environment and Environmental Crime Based on Theravada Buddhist Philosophy

    International Journal of Criminology and Sociology, 2021, 10, 1229-1244 1229 Care for the Environment and Environmental Crime Based on Theravada Buddhist Philosophy Dittita Tititampruk* and Tanet Ketsil# Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities, Mahidol University Abstract: From past to present, global compressions on human and environmental systems are more likely to increase than ever before in human history. With the science and technology advancement, we are living in the age of the global village that enables more convenient and brings us closer together. However, this also means that human being is suffering from global environmental crisis including the threat of war, economic crises, racial conflicts, environmental degradation, and environmental crime. This paper represents library-based work to date in Buddhist contemporary and useful perspectives and strategies on environmental protection and prevention in the backdrop of growing consumerism and capitalism influenced by western cultural in post-globalization era. Comparing to other countries, Thailand faces various environmental problems and some of them could become to environmental crime such as illegal wildlife trade; smuggling ozone-depleting substances; illicit trade in hazardous waste and pollution; illegal mining; illegal, unregulated and unreported fishing; illegal logging and associated trade in stolen timber. Since Thailand is one of largely Buddhist practical countries, measures to conserve the environment can draw on the principles and precepts of Lord Buddha’s teachings, known as Tripitaka. In Lord Buddha’s lifetime, environmental problems were not salient, but surprisingly, Lord Buddha recognised such problems because they are related to natural law. Accordingly, he established disciplinary rules for monks to live as models of not destroying the environment.
