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.

    Site Suitability Evaluation for Ecotourism Using GIS & AHP: A Case Study of Surat Thani Province, Thailand January 2012 Khwanruthai BUNRUAMKAEW a Site Suitability Evaluation for Ecotourism Using GIS & AHP: A Case Study of Surat Thani Province, Thailand A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of Life and Environmental Sciences, the University of Tsukuba in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Science (Doctoral Program in Geoenvironmental Sciences) Khwanruthai BUNRUAMKAEW b ABSTRACT The main objective of this study is to identify and prioritize the potential ecotourism site in Surat Thani province, Thailand, using Geographic Information System (GIS) and Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). This work was assessed the potential suitable areas for ecotourism based on bio-physical characteristics of the land ecosystems and socio- economic data. These are landscape or naturalness (visibility, land use/cover), wildlife (reservation/protection, species diversity), topography (elevation, slope), accessibility (proximity to cultural sites, distance from roads) and community characteristics (settlement size). These criteria and factors were selected according to the professional expert‟s opinions. First, a resource inventory and a list of ecotourism criteria were developed using the AHP method. At the next stage GIS techniques were used to measure the ranking of different sites according to the set criteria and thus identify those with the „best‟ potential. Subsequently, the land suitability map for ecotourism was created, based on the linear combination of the criteria and factors with their respective weights. The degree of suitability of each factor was classified as highly suitable (S1), moderately suitable (S2), marginally suitable (S3) and not suitable (N) for ecotourism.
