Abstract

Pathum Thani Province is one of the provinces surrounding the Bangkok Metropolitan Area (BMA) that has received the spillover growth and expansion of the city of Bangkok. However, this has resulted in urban changes into sprawling characterized by clusters of peri-urbanization interspersed along major transportation corridors that has absorbed provincial municipal centers within almost a hundred-kilometer radius from the center. The results of this uncontrolled, unplanned sprawl with weak or ineffective land use or transportation planning have detrimental effects on the overall well-being of the residents and the quality of life in the metropolitan area. This study uses the healthy city concept to analyze the factors that affect the health of the population by using Pathum Thani Province as the case study of 1055 structured questionnaires in face-to-face interviews. After data collection, the data was used in a Structural Equation Model (SEM) to analyze the factors that affect the health of the population in this highly urbanized province. The result of the study showed that factors affecting urban health have components relative to health issues, social and economic, physical, and environmental factors. Finally, this approach could help to quantify the complex interactions involved in health and wellbeing in relation to the constantly changing urban environment of sprawling areas to help guide policy decisions for achieving the development of a healthy city.

影响泰国郊区健康城市发展的因素
巴吞他尼省是曼谷都市圈(BMA)周围的一个省份,它已经接受了曼谷城市的溢出增长和扩张。然而,这导致了城市的变化,以沿主要交通走廊散布的半城市化集群为特征,这些走廊吸收了距离中心近100公里半径范围内的省级城市中心。这种不受控制、无计划的扩张加上薄弱或无效的土地利用或交通规划的结果,对大都市地区居民的整体福祉和生活质量产生了有害影响。本研究运用健康城市理念,以巴吞他尼省1055份面对面访谈的结构化问卷为个案研究对象,分析影响人口健康的因素。数据收集后,采用结构方程模型(SEM)分析了影响这个高度城市化省份人口健康的因素。研究结果表明,影响城市健康的因素包括健康问题、社会和经济因素、物理因素和环境因素。最后,这种方法可以帮助量化与不断变化的城市环境相关的健康和福祉的复杂相互作用,以帮助指导政策决策,实现健康城市的发展。
