  • No Buildings on Lands Over 80 Meters Above Sea Level? - a Case Study of Kamala, Phuket
    No buildings on lands over 80 meters above sea level? - a case study of Kamala, Phuket Somporn ONTHONG 1*, Sangdao WONGSAI 2 1*Graduate student, Faculty of Technology and Environment Prince of Songkla University, Phuket Campus 2Andaman Environment and Natural Disaster Research Center (ANED), of Technology and Environment Prince of Songkla University, Phuket Campus 80 Moo 1 Vichit Songkram Rd., Amphur Kathu, Phuket 83120, Thailand; Tel: +66-676-276-142; Fax. +66-7627-6002 E-mail: [email protected] *, 1*, [email protected] 2 Abstract A current issue on Phuket-stay-green above 80 meters from sea level is controversial among property investors and environmentalists. This study addressed this problem posed by mapping land uses at the elevated zones determined by the provincial policy and regulation. A case study was carried out for Kamala sub-district, Phuket, the South of Thailand. The Geoeye satellite image accessed in January 2011 was used to classify land use and land cover types. Field survey was conducted for the accuracy assessment of land use and land cover mapping. Four zones were 0-40 meters, 40-80 meters, 80-125 meters and above 125 meters from sea level. Our findings emphasize that the lands at the elevated zones 0-40 meters and 40-80 meters were mainly categorized as bare lands. These lands have not yet been filled up as the investors have overstated. There would be no need to revise the policy and regulation for allowing the buildings and constructions on the lands above 80 meters. Future land use policy and management should consider a balance between the development and environmental protection.

  • Tourism Planning and Destination Marketing: Towards a Community-Driven Approach a Case of Thailand
    Tc.urism Planning and Destination Marketing: Towards a Community-Driven Approach A Case of Thailand A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirement for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy At Lincoln University By Jutamas (Jantarat) Wisansing Lincoln University 2004 Abstract of a thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirement for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Tourism Planning and Destination Marketing: Towards a Community-Driven Approach A Case of Thailand By Jutamas (Jantarat) Wisansing This thesis argues that while analysing markets and developing strategies to exploit the external market place and to attract tourists remains a central focus for tourism marketers, it is not enough on its own to achieve sustainable tourism destination development. The researcher substantiates this argument by exploring the 'participatory tourism planning' concept in detail. Based on this approach, the community is identified as a primary customer for whom tourism marketers have ignored involving in their marketing attention, messages and programmes. The fundamental concept - marketing orientation and customer orientation - combined with emerging marketing theories were reviewed.in order to help examine how destination marketing, a community-driven approach, should be implemented within a destination area. This examination of marketing and community based tourism planning set a platform for this research. This analysis examines relevance, applicability and potential for an integration of these two pervasive approaches for tourism planning. ii Guided by the theoretical examination, an integrated community-based tourism planning and marketing model was proposed. In order to explore gaps between the proposed model and its practicality, three destination areas (Phuket, Samui and Songkla-Hatyai) in Thailand were studied and evaluated.

  • What We Can Learn About China from Research Into Sina Weibo

Ng 2013 iii CHINESE SOCIAL MEDIA AS LABORATORY: WHAT WE CAN LEARN ABOUT CHINA FROM RESEARCH INTO SINA WEIBO Jason Q. Ng, M.A. University of Pittsburgh, 2013 Like all nations, China has been profoundly affected by the emergence of the Internet, particularly new forms of social media—that is, media that relies less on mainstream sources to broadcast news and instead relies directly on individuals themselves to share information. I use mixed methods to examine how three different but intertwined groups—companies, the government, and Chinese Internet users themselves (so-called “netizens”)—have confronted social media in China. In chapter one, I outline how and why China’s most important social media company, Sina Weibo, censors its website. In addition, I describe my research into blocked search terms on Sina Weibo, and explain why particular keywords are sensitive.

  • Medical Information
    Medical Information READ THIS FIRST We strongly recommend that you take out comprehensive travel insurance that will cover any overseas medical costs, including medical evacuation, before you depart. Confirm that your insurance covers you for the whole time you'll be away and check what circumstances and activities are not included in your policy. Remember, regardless of how healthy and fit you are, if you can't afford travel insurance, you can't afford to travel. The Australian Government will not pay for a traveller's medical expenses overseas. Medical facilities The standard of medical facilities throughout Thailand varies. While private hospitals with international standard facilities can be found in major cities, services can be limited elsewhere. Private hospitals generally require confirmation of insurance or a guarantee of payment before admitting a patient. Costs can be very expensive. Generally, serious illnesses and accidents can be treated at private or public hospitals in Bangkok and other large cities. However, medical evacuation to a destination with the required facilities may be necessary in some cases at considerable cost. Medical tourism Medical tourism, including for cosmetic and sex-change operations, is common in Thailand. Australians should ensure that they are not lured to discount or uncertified medical establishments where standards can be lacking, resulting in serious and possibly life-threatening complications. Travel insurance may not provide coverage. Please refer to http://smartraveller.gov.au/guide/all- travellers/health/Pages/medical-tourism.aspx Prescription medications Some prescription medications available in Australia are controlled substances in Thailand, even if prescribed by an Australian doctor. Restrictions also apply to some over the counter medications available in Australia, including drugs containing codeine.

  • Rachel Coldicutt OBE—Written Evidence (FEO0122)
    Rachel Coldicutt OBE—written evidence (FEO0122) House of Lords Communications and Digital Committee inquiry into Freedom of Expression Online 2. How should good digital citizenship be promoted? How can education help? 2.1 This evidence submission makes the case that good digital citizenship requires a wider choice of platforms, supported by new models of ownership, and increased scrutiny of digital platforms’ business strategies and internal success metrics. Educating users to be better digital citizens is one part of the puzzle, but for education to be effective, digital platforms must be held accountable for creating better civic spaces, and digital citizens must be entitled to exercise due rights and benefit from protections. 2.2 The concept of “good digital citizenship” is not easily defined, and any consideration of it must take into account the differences between life online and life offline. 2.3 Firstly, where is a digital citizen a citizen of? The history and ownership structures of “cyberspace” do not make it easy for individuals to translate the norms that may be expected offline into the online world. Digital governance is a complex topic and, while there is not space to give a complete overview here, it is worth noting that true “digital sovereignty” – the ability of a state or group of states to “act independently in the digital world”1 – is not baked into the products and services that most people use day-to-day. 2.4 It is now generally accepted that a single global Internet has been replaced by the “Splinternet”, a set of discrete socio-political technical territories.2 In 2018, O’Hara and Hall identified four internets – and the cultural values of those four dominant territories define the global digital experience.
