THESIS ADVISOR: PROF.WILLIAM R. CHAPMAN, D.Phil, 301 pp. This research is aimed at studing the Khmer temples of Northeast Thailand in order to propose a plan for tourism development. Seven Khmer temple sites were chosen, located in four provinces in the northeastern area of Thailand. These include Nakhon Ratchasima, Buriram, Surin and Si Sa Ket Provinces; and the temple sites of Prasat Phimai, Prasat Phanom Rung, Prasat Mueang Tam, Prasat Ta Muean Group, Prasat Si Khoraphum, Prasat Sa Kamphaeng Yai and Prasat Phra Wihan. From this study, the researcher attempted to use the concept of cultural tourism as a key in the conservation of the value and significance of the architectural heritage and cultural landscape of Khmer sites. The cultural tourism approach also attempts to take into account both tangible and intangible values surrounding the sites for sustainable tourism. The objective of the study is to promote the significance of Thailand’s Khmer sites with a view to improving accessibility for visitors. The aim is to provide the local community a well managed interpretation and conservation program for each important site and highlight their unique characteristics in a way that will help preserve them for future generations. A further aim of this study is to better present the Khmer sites of Northeast Thailand as part of a cultural panorama and to create a management plan for cultural tourism and sustainable tourism development. The study also accentuates a program of conservation enlisting local communities and the tourism industry to promote site protection and a better understanding of cultural heritage. In terms of tourism, the information derived from this research will be used to develop an appropriate management program that is best suitable to visitors, with the purpose of facilitating their ability and opportunity to discover new knowledge about Khmer arts and culture in Thailand. This will help visitors to develop a better understanding and appreciation. Furthermore, this research can also help find solutions to some of the existing problems among visitors to Thailand and the affect they have on local residents by fostering improved cooperation among all involved stakeholders i.e. local authorities, central government agents, local residents and visitors, in order to manage the local cultural heritage appropriately for its sustainable existence throughout subsequent generations.

Completing this commitment could not have been possible without a number of supporters. Although I am not able to address all of their names, it is my pleasure to give my gratitude to some key people who made my doctoral life so meaningful and memorable. First and foremost, I would like to express my sincere appreciation for the mentorship and the intellectual guidance of my principal supervisor, Dr. Julie Jie Wen, who not only walked side-by-side with me through this academic endeavour, but also has been very helpful in giving ideas and comments to ensure that I have delivered good work. Together with my two respectful co-supervisors, Dr. Amie Matthews and Dr. Felicity Picken, who both provided an enormous amount of guidance and advice that was beyond the call of duty until the day of thesis submission. I definitely would not have produced this project without the support and encouragement of my three amazing supervisors. Appreciation is further given to a number of people who offered help during my field study in three provinces in Southern Thailand. They have played a special role in advising me for data collection. I am eternally indebted to all of my participants, both MICE staff and customers in three venues, who shared their personal experiences. Without their contribution to this project with invaluable time and open conversations, this dissertation would never have been accomplished.

THESIS ADVISOR: DONALD ELLSMORE, DPhilFAPT. 180 pp. In this dissertation, the impact of religious tourism development on the cultural heritage of sacred Buddhist places is explored through an examination of nine temples in Ang Thong and their communities. The research considers strategies that might permit religious tourism development while conserving the cultural heritage significance of the places. A review of the evolution of tourism development and evaluation of tourism impacts by assessing and studying nine sacred temples’ cultural heritage was undertaken to develop a practicable approach to promoting and managing tourism sustainably. The research reveals that the development and promotion of the nine temples in Ang Thong occurs in two important stages. The first is the emergence of royal monasteries and common temples that reflect the relationship between the religion and society.

  • Case Studies: Accident of a Truck Containing Nitric Acid on Bang Na
    -Chapter II- -Access to Environmental Information-- Case Studies: ° Accident of a Truck Containing Nitric Acid on Bang Na-Trad Road ° Illegal Landfill of Hazardous Waste at Pak Chong District, Nakhon Ratchasima Province Introduction General Situation During the past years of country development, Thailand has accelerated her economic development by maximizing the use of human and natural resources, employing modern technologies, and increasingly importing hazardous chemicals and substances in order to increase the productivity. As a result, the industry has grown very rapid, so has the economic growth and changes. Although such economic changes have positive impacts on the general population including better education, life conditions and well-beings, several changes have caused negative impacts on human health sanity and safety due to higher exposures to environmental emergencies. The use of hazardous chemicals in agricultural, industrial, and public health sectors has increased rapidly. It was found that the domestic production of hazardous chemicals has increased from 2.74 million tons in 1993 to 23.0 million tons in 2004; where as, the import of hazardous chemicals has increased from 2.79 million tons in 1993 to 5.0 million tons in 2004 (Office of Natural Resources and Environmental Policy and Planning, 2004; Pollution Control Department, 2004). These domestically produced and imported hazardous chemicals are in the form of ready-chemical products and basic active ingredients that are used as raw materials in manufacturing and agricultural sectors. Most of them are classified as inflammable, explosive, poisonous and corrosive substances, and currently they are being improperly employed. It was found that people are lacking of responsibility, awareness, and carefulness in using these hazardous chemicals and there was no effective system for managing hazardous substances‘ life cycle covering importation, production, distribution, transportation, usage, storage and waste disposal.

  • A Statistical Method for Estimating Under-Reported Incidence Rates with Application to Child Diarrhea in Thai Provinces Bordering Cambodia
    A STATISTICAL METHOD FOR UNDER-REPORTED CHILD DIARRHEA A STATISTICAL METHOD FOR ESTIMATING UNDER-REPORTED INCIDENCE RATES WITH APPLICATION TO CHILD DIARRHEA IN THAI PROVINCES BORDERING CAMBODIA Sulawan Yotthanoo1 and Chamnein Choonpradub2 1Department of Statistics, School of Science and Technology, Naresuan University, Phayao; 2Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, Faculty of Science and Technology, Prince of Songkla University, Pattani Campus, Pattani, Thailand Abstract. Diarrhea is a major health problem in Thailand, but reported data of disease incidence are known or suspected to be under-reported. This study aimed to develop a statistical model for estimating the annual incidence of hospital diarrhea cases among children under five years. Data regarding diarrhea patients 0-4 years old were col- lected for the National Notifiable Disease Surveillance (Report 506) about Thai prov- inces bordering Cambodia during 1999-2004 by the Ministry of Public Health. A log- linear regression model based on the prevailing seasonal-trend pattern was used for diarrhea incidence as a function of quarter, year and district, after imputing rates where under-reporting was evident, using populations obtained from the 2000 population census. The model also takes any spatial correlation between districts into account, using the generalized estimating equation (GEE) method. Diarrhea incidence had sea- sonal peaks in the first quarter (January to March) and the trend steadily increased from 1999 to 2004. Results from such studies can help health authorities develop pre- vention policies. Key words: child diarrhea, statistical model, BEE method, linear regression INTRODUCTION third of all deaths in this age group are as- sociated with diarrhea. Approximately 1.5 Diarrhea is one of the world’s top five billion diarrhea episodes and 4 million infectious disease causes of death (Brownlie deaths occur annually among children age et al, 2006) and remains a major cause of less than five years (Vargas et al, 2004).
