THESIS ADVISOR: PROFESSOR EMERITUS KEN TAYLOR. 198 pp. Heritage planning and management study of Ban Tha Chin Historic Site is proposed as a guideline to comply with the provincial development planning of Samut Sakhon Province, which promotes ‘historical tourism and ecotourism’ as a major source of revenue through its historicity and natural environment. However, economic development should not be an exclusive goal of this historic site management. Ban Tha Chin, located on the Gulf of Thailand, is ideal for trade and fishery and has a continuous life with its remains as historic evidence of its past. It is also a place which has associative value of tangible and intangible heritages expressed in its built environment, customs, traditions, and way of life related to the cultural route of the Mahachai Canal and the Mae Khlong- Mahachai Railway. These heritage value and significance need to be revealed for the tourist’s impression and simultaneously maintained for the inheritors. Tourism has the potential to benefit a place, and also ruin it if the management of heritage site is not appropriate considered. The management of the Ban Tha Chin Historic site requires the integrated conservation and tourism in physical, spatial, and social dimensions for sustainable development. There are many circumstances involved in development of a management plan and they need coordination and collaboration with the business sector, the public sector, the nonprofit sector, professional consultants, and locals to achieve the management goals.

  • Density Equation of Cassava-Stalk Briquettes Under Moderate Die-Pressure
    American Journal of Applied Sciences 7 (5): 698-701, 2010 ISSN 1546-9239 © 2010Science Publications Density Equation of Cassava-Stalk Briquettes Under Moderate Die-Pressure Patomsok Wilaipon Department Mechanical Engineering, Faculty Engineering, Naresuan University, Phitsanulok, Thailand 65000 Abstract: Problem statement: Agricultural residues seem to be the most promising energy resources for developing countries. However, the majority of them have low energy density. One of the favorable technologies for enhancing that property is briquetting. For the case of Phitsanulok, a province in Northern Thailand, cassava is one of the most important crops. Therefore, a large amount of cassava stalk is left in the field after harvest. This study was aimed to investigate the quantity of cassava stalk in this province and to study cassava stalk briquette production. Approach: The potential energy from cassava stalk was calculated based on the productivity, residue-to-product ratio, residue returned to soil ratio and its heating value. Besides, the effects of moderate-range compression pressure, 70-110 bar, and the binder ratio, 10-20%, on briquette density were investigated. An empirical model was also developed and validated. Results: Base on the estimation, the quantity of usable cassava stalk in this area was approximately 18 kton year−1. The heating value of cassava stalk was found to be 16.39 MJ kg−1. Therefore, the total energy over 289 TJ year−1 can be obtained from this agricultural waste. According to the experiment, briquette density was in the range of 0.40-0.77 g cm−3. The coefficient of multiple determination for prediction of the proposed model was about 94.7%.

  • Genetic Variations for 'Nam Hom' Coconut (Cocos Nucifera L.) Grown
    Volume 14, Number 1, Pages 12 - 20 Genetic variations for ‘Nam Hom’ coconut (Cocos nucifera L.) grown in the western region of Thailand using AFLP markers Pongnart Nartvaranant Division of Crop Production Technology, Faculty of Science and Technology, Nakhon Pathom Rajabhat University, Nakhon Pathom 73000, Thailand Abstract Using 10 selected Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) primers, to investigate the genetic diversity and relationships among ‘Nam Hom’ coconut grown in the western region of Thailand, resulting in amplification of 169 reproducible polymorphic fragment products out of 416 bands scored. The percentages of polymorphic markers for AFLP ranged from 70.00% for E-ACC/M-CAT to 24.14 % for E-ACC/M-CAA primers. The phylogenetic tree dendrogram showed that the 55 coconut accessions grown in western region of Thailand could be classified into four groups at 0.88 of similarity coefficients. This grouping observation is consistent with existing morphological classification of coconut tree. The first group to the third group in this study contains tall coconut group and mutant coconut from dwarf coconut group. While, the forth group contains all coconut which belongs to the dwarf coconut group including ‘Nam Hom’ (‘Kon Chip’ and ‘Kon Klom’ strains) and ‘Nam Wan’ coconut from all production area with 0.895-1.00 of similarity coefficients indicated the narrow genetic diversity. Moreover, the results indicated that the ‘Nam Hom’ coconut samples both ‘Kon Chip’ and ‘Kon Klom’ strains collected in different locations were for the main part genetically similar with cophenetic correlation (r) = 0.9347. Keywords: ‘Nam Hom’, coconut, AFLP, genetic diversity, Cocos nucifera L.

  • Based Tourism's Image Positioning and Strategic Management in Thailand and Lao PDR for Achieving ASEAN Community
    Community - Based Tourism's Image Positioning and Strategic Management in Thailand and Lao PDR for Achieving ASEAN Community Jirapong Chaichawwong, Maejo University, Thailand Chalitda Madhyamapurush, Maejo University, Thailand The Asian Conference on Asian Studies 2015 Official Conference Proceedings Abstract This research paper is a synthesis of knowledge gathering from related researches in the realm of image, management, participation in tourism activities, strategic issues and competency development of community-based tourism in Thailand and Lao PDR for supporting ASEAN tourism expansion in 2015. The researchers have conducted a community survey in some villages where carried on community-based tourism in 4 provinces of Thailand which are Chiang Rai, Phayao, Nan and Uttaradit and 4 provinces of Lao PDR which are Luang Prabang, Oudomxay, Luang Namtha and Bokeo. This research has collected data from field research, an in-depth interview, a focus group, and questionnaires. Samplings are Thai/Lao stakeholders in community- based tourism. The findings are as follows; Lao PDR community-based tourism management and potential has had high criterion when compared with Thailand. Lao PDR community-based tourism’s image is clearer than Thailand. The positioning of community-based tourism strategies and competency development can divide into 2 parts. Firstly, offensive strategies are (1) to build up a Thai/Lao community-based tourism network for developing cooperative tourism not competitive one (2) to mutually administrate and manage borderlands under collaboration of both local governments (3) to specify explicit image and positioning of community-based tourism and (4) to create new community-based tourism image and activities which link community tourist spots in Thai/Lao borderlands area.
