    Kisanapol Watanawanyoo, 2018, “Bangkok's Everyday Public Transport Assemblage: the Formal-Informal Interwoven and Interplay and Meshwork

    Bangkok’s Everyday Transport Assemblage: The Formal-Informal Interplay and Meshwork Urbanism Kisnaphol Wattanawanyoo (1) (1) King Mongkut 's University of Technology Thonburi, Thailand Corresponding author: [email protected] ABSTRACT This paper seeks to render Bangkok’s everyday transport assemblage with special attention to the informal transport systems/modes on the Thonburi side of Bangkok (western side of the Chao Phraya River). The main aim of the paper is to visualize/display the various existing typologies of informal transport practices along the main route of The Bangkok Mass Transit System (BTS Skytrain or in short - BTS). It will also examine the relationship between the formal and informal transport system and practices along BTS Thonburi line, especially at the intermodal connections/linkages at the various BTS stations. This study adopts the ‘assemblage thinking’ as the theoretical and analytical framework in highlighting the formal-informal transport relationship. This paper applied several methods for the fieldwork survey and data collection including observation, informal conversational interview, mapping and photography. The analysis will emphasis on the co-functioning of various transport modes/systems, and the interwoven and the dynamic interplay of the formal-informal systems and networks will be discussed. This study highlighted Bangkok’s informal transport systems/practices have been paid little attention and did not gain much recognition by the State and authorities. As a result, there are discrepancies and fragments of Bangkok’s comprehensive urban transport information and database. This paper also argues that the State and local authorities themselves are also the one producing these urban informality. By mapping and visualizing these informal everyday transport assemblages and meshwork, it could help to unpack Bangkok’s complexity and dynamic relationship at play and could also help to understand how the whole urban transport system work.

    Resilience in Urban Transport Towards Hybrid Canal-Rail Connectivity Linking Bangkok’s Canal Networks to Mass Rapid Transit Lines Pawinee Iamtrakul*, Manat Srivanit and Jirawan Klaylee Faculty of Architecture and Planning, Thammasat University, Pathumthani 12121, Thailand Abstract The influence of rapid development has been more focused on the growth of built up area rather than proceed through its unique characters of urban morphology, especially the megacity of developing world. A huge network of waterways in Bangkok has been overlooked on its utilizations which has been the major evidence of unprepared urban mobility to cope with a changing climate along with tackling on affordability of urban poor for their daily transportation. Thus, the study on hybrid canal-rail system improvement in Bangkok will be a good example of rethinking about transportation development under the consideration of urban context to be consistent with land use factors affecting the current mobility development. The deliberations of spatial management become crucial and being used as a tool for revitalizing urban area in particular of the Water Transit-Oriented Development (WTOD) which becomes the key measure for improving the existing physical condition of area nearby the station to increase ridership as to input to the transportation system. These findings can help city planners and decision-makers to understand WTOD formation as well as in planning and decision-making processes towards an enhancing the level of connectivity in an urban area. * Corresponding author.
