The fieldwork data was collected by questionnaires and interviews with community leaders, group tour leaders, group tour members and advisors, local scholars, and local citizens. We used the techniques by SWOT analysis, future search conference, assign tourism problems, threats and solved the problems. A model of tourism management and the problem solving was assigned by the community and evaluated by the tourist. Two types of data analysis were employed: content analysis for qualitative data and descriptive statistics for quantitative data. The research showed that Ban Sai-ngam was outstanding, the people are hospitable, and its natural resources, particularly Kang Sai-ngam with Namlee stream running past the village, were beautiful. It had been very attractive to tourists, but the 2006 disastrous flood and mudslide completely destroyed the impressive scenery of Kang Sai-ngam. As a result, it was no longer a major tourist attraction of Uttaradit. However, the community

  • CCTV Approachis Exceeding Expectation
    94 Good Practice: Northern Region Good Practice: Northern Region 89 CCTV approachis Exceeding Expectation Miss Sariya Taweegul ChiangRai Prachanukroh Hospital Based on the road safety statistics in 2012, there were three provinces that still had low to middle level of helmet wearing rate. They were Nan, Chiang Rai, and Phayao whose helmet wearing rate was at 41%, 38%, and 24% respectively. This number is a good indicator of risk behaviour that leads to severe injuries or even death if motorcycle riders are involved in a crash. The risk becomes greater when combined with road conditions, surrounding environment, and risk spots such as the cross road, merging lanes, intersections, and U-turns, particularly atconnecting roads between nearby provinces with high numbers of road users. Moreover, the density of traffic is increased at the time of a holiday season as these three provinces are popular among the tourists.This road safety situationis indeed a challenging one for all three provinces to work together in order to comply with the UN Decade of Action Declaration to cut down the road toll in half by 2020. Applying law enforcement to suppress risk behaviours alone may not be enough, which is clearly seen from the enforcement statistics whereby police have arrested 21,592 traffic offenders each year. However, there is still inadequate task force compare to the amount of job responsibilities. The use of a technology such as CCTV to assist in risk behaviour suppression is therefore necessary. Nan, Chiang Rai, and Phayao have installed the CCTV in their citiesPeople within the municipal areasneed to be discouraged from taking risks when using roads as well as promoting road safety discipline especially through 100% Helmet Wearing Policy under the concept of "fault, if not corrected, will become commonly accepted and rightful" in the end.

  • Participatory Planning in Municipal Development in Thailand
    Participatory Planning in Municipal Development in Thailand vorgelegt von Master of Architecture Pondej Chaowarat aus Thailand von der Fakultät VI – Planen Bauen Umwelt der Technischen Universität Berlin zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades Doktor der Ingenieurwissenschaften - Dr.-Ing. - genehmigte Dissertation Promotionsausschuss: Vorsitzender: Prof. Dr. P. Herrle Berichterin: Prof. Dipl. Ing. E. Pahl-Weber Berichter: Prof. Dr. A. Atkinson Tag der wissenschaftlichen Aussprache: 12. Februar 2010 Berlin 2010 D 83 Abstract This dissertation offers a full understanding of the extent of participatory planning in Thai municipalities within the context of a highly centralized state and dominance of local business people in public decision determination. In this ‘alternative’ mode of planning, various interests groups determine their local development plans collectively. Essentially, such planning aims to provide a political sphere of different groups of interests within the current pluralistic society. The research examines outcomes of the decentralization process regarding: municipal ability for local development planning; the legal framework promoting citizen participation in local public decisions; attitudes of local politicians (who are essentially business people) towards participatory planning; and the contributions of local associations in municipal development, particularly the local planning system. The study finds that highly centralized state policy undermines the local planning system. Municipalities have insufficient necessities (authority, duties, resources) for performing their local planning effectively. In the legal framework, the government aims to use citizen participation to obtain information from the grassroots, rather than collective public decision determination. All significant public decisions remain within representative forms (municipal executives and councils). In local politics, local business elites dominate Thai municipalities and manipulate citizen participation for their personal benefits.
