  • 8.3.2 Feature of the Industrial Town
    The Study on the Integrated Regional Development Plan for the Northeastern Border Region in the Kingdom of Thailand Sector Plan: Chapter 8 Industry 8.3.2 Feature of the Industrial Town Organization of I-san is divided by three regions by each Ministry and Agency, because of the supporting system of hierarchy. Roughly speaking, southwest center and gate city is Nakhon Ratchashima, southeast center is Ubon Ratchathani and Northwest center is Khon Kaen. Four provinces in northeast I-san are divided into two groups. Nakhon Phanom and Mukdahan belong to Ubon Ratchathani of the Southeast and Sakon Nakhon and Kalasin belong to the Khon Kaen of Northwest center. Since the four provinces are far from the center city, they could not receive full support from the center. Even that Khon Kaen and Ubon Ratchathani are the centers of the regions, they themselves also require economic support. Eventually, four provinces should be developing themselves (see Figure 8.9). Figure 8.9 Functions of Four Provincial Towns But a careful consideration of this region indicates that I-san region should be divided into four sub-regions. Northeast region of four provinces should be joined together and establish a new regional community. Sakon Nakhon should be considered as the center because of the following reasons: · Sakon Nakhon is the biggest economic town among the four provinces; · It is the geographical center among the four provinces; 8-49 PLANET NESDB - JICA · It has a well-developed industrial infrastructure of airport and road network among the four provinces; and · Sakon Nakhon has a potential for Agro-Science City with agricultural activities of R&D institute and universities.

  • Nakhon Phanom, the Third Mekong Friendship Bridge and the ASEAN Economic Community
    Journal of Social and Development Sciences Vol. 3, No. 5, pp. 172-179, May 2012 (ISSN 2221-1152) Nakhon Phanom, The Third Mekong Friendship Bridge and the ASEAN Economic Community Pornsakol Na Srito, John Walsh* Shinawatra University, Bangkok, Thailand *[email protected] Abstract: This paper reports on research conducted in Nakhon Phanom Province in Northeastern Thailand among business-owners and other individuals about prospective and actual changes in economic and social conditions resulting from the opening of the Third Mekong Friendship Bridge and the ASEAN Economic Community, due to be launched in 2015. Qualitative research conducted with 35 key informants revealed that there had been few changes cause so far and little intention to change any more than necessary. Most respondents were waiting for the state to take a lead in information provision and in facilitating the ability to make changes. It is found that the Bridge has had some impact upon land prices and the labor market but that these changes remain limited because of the comparatively low level of usage of the Bridge. Keywords: Infrastructure, labor migration, Mekong region, 1. Introduction An important part of the Asian Development Bank’s (ADB) developmental project for the Greater Mekong Sub-Region (GMS) has been to create transportation infrastructure to increase the possibilities of trade, migration and investment. Infrastructure is an enabling technology that permits both positive and negative aspects of movement, whether that is movement of people, goods or capital. It is the role of states to ensure that appropriate governance of areas newly connected takes place and that suitable protections are in place.
