Phayao is considered to be a city with a history of more than 700 years after Chao Luang Wong had evacuated people from Lampang and relocated them the city of Phayao. In order to gain useful information to promote cultural tourism, a study of Phayao’s commercial community included its history, architectural styles, and the perceptions of people in the community. The methods used for research were collecting historical and physical data as well as conducting surveys. The area studied was divided into four groups which were determined by the characteristics of the area. Based on the study of data, there are three existing commercial communities known as the following: the Sop-Tam commercial community of Tai Yai and Burmese which is currently closed, the Nong Ra-bu community in which most of the shops have been operated by Hainan Chinese, recently it has decreased in significances from the prosperity of the past, and the Mueang Phayao Market community operated by Teochiu Chinese, which is now the main commercial center of Mueang Phayao. There are four patterns of shops and houses. From the survey and interviews it was found that the area along Phaholyothin Road has stories that can be conveyed linking the two viable commercial communities with its architecture and places. This indicates that the stories can create perceptions of the commercial routes that could be useful in cultural tourism.

This paper presents a case study on the role objects played in the construction of Thai women as social subjects in the period of American Era and Development. Based on the analysis of popular Thai etiquette manual Kritsana son nong: Naenam marayat thi ngam haeng araya samai, I conducted oral history interviews with women growing up in the period. The conversation brought to light the term pen sao and illustrated that while certain objects and practices were portrayed generally as signs of modernity and civilisation, they could also be perceived as suspicious when being viewed as signs of gender differences.
本文以个案研究为例，探讨美国时代与发展时期泰国女性作为社会主体在建构过程中所扮演的角色客体。在分析泰国流行礼仪手册《Kritsana son nong: Naenam marayat thi ngam haeng araya samai》的基础上，我对在这一时期长大的女性进行了口述历史采访。这次谈话揭示了“pen sao”一词，并说明虽然某些物体和做法通常被描绘为现代和文明的标志，但当它们被视为性别差异的标志时，它们也可能被视为可疑的。

As physical environments play a role in supporting learning though play (LTP) in preschools, users and interest group’s perceptions of appropriate physical environment features for LTP become significant. This article examines perceptions of teachers and parents concerning an appropriate indoor physical environment for LTP in Malaysian preschools.A five-point Likert scale and preference ranking were employed to understand teachers’ and parents’ perception of six features including sizing of spaces; material availability; spaces for creation and respite; indoor-outdoor connection; and provision of challenges. The findings included; variety of materials, spaces for personalization, spaces for challenges and good indoor-outdoor connection.

This paper examines the criteria that is significant in building an area-based innovation system in Thailand. The Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) questionnaire was distributed to experts in the area of urban planning, development, and policy studies. They assessed and prioritized indicators that could shape the innovation system on a regional scale. The study found that enhancing human capital, innovation collaboration, innovation capability, cultural/knowledge resources, and innovation capacity is more important, rather than focusing on physical infrastructure development. This implies that major elements for an area-based innovation system in Thailand highly depend on citizen, institutions, and linkages across sectors.

Economic factors reflecting the prosperity of foreign trades from the Ayutthaya to the Rattanakosin periods, brought about growth and changes in dwellings. These factors also supported and maintained Buddhism by restoring, reconstructing, and building temples. Traditions changed in the reign of King Bhumibol Adulyadej, Rama IX, due to a capitalist economic system. This system, which has expanded its influence over land use planning, tourism development, and economic revitalization, led to different directions in the development of temple architecture. This article studies the roles of an economic system which affected the design of temple architecture during the Buddhawat area. The research was conducted through case studies of temples which represent the present time.

This study explores the relative connections among pedestrian movement patterns, land use and street configuration by analyzing the pedestrian volume, existing land use pattern as well as the street configuration in different streets of Mymensingh. Mymensingh is a historic town of Bangladesh which was established by the British Colonists in more than 200 years ago along the river Brahmaputra. The street patterns of Mymensingh is very unique as it was developed by the fusion of the streets made by British Colonists and the narrow streets made by the local inhabitants. By using the method of Space Syntax the configurational values of street segments are compared with the corresponding pedestrian counts. The study result shows that the correlation is very poor within this two factors as commercial land uses affects the pedestrians more.

This comparative study on housing and community comfortable living performance standards is a part of a participatory research conducted to meet the needs addressed by the Thai National Housing Authority to improve existing housing and community standards. The research team conducted a case study of the Rim Khwae Awm Community in Samut Songkhram Province. This community had been identified as a model of comfortable living. This article presents the results of an analysis of comfortable living standards derived from a review of related literature and standards derived from the participatory process with the community case study. This research found that the standards for comfortable living from the literature review gave priority to the physical aspect and factors which could be measured using scientific methods. By contrast, the community participatory standards gave priority to a holistic combination of the local ecology, environment, society, economy, and application of local wisdom.

This paper identifies the influences of the environmental and personal characteristic factors on preference and willingness to pay (WTP) for the physical development of streetscape, and the relationship between preference and WTP. A questionnaire with computerized montage pictures portraying streetscape development solutions was used to collect data from 440 respondents in Chiang Mai. Tobit models were formed to analyze the preference and WTP dependent variables with environmental and personal characteristic variables. The results showed that preference was significantly influenced only by the environmental variables, while WTP was significantly influenced by preference and the personal characteristic variables.

motorcycle taxi drivers are a group of laborers in the informal sector who are socially shunned and are often harassed by the authorities and local influential people. Research has found that motorcycle taxi drivers have the potential to gather information concerning problems occurring in public spaces to be compiled into a database to encourage problem solving. Furthermore, smartphones are found to be a tool that assists motorcycle taxi drivers in effectively collecting information relating to problems that they encounter. Thus, the researcher, in collaboration with motorcycle taxi driver groups, has developed key concepts andan Information and Communication Technology (ICT) system that can contribute to the motorcycle taxi drivers’ becoming community reporters. Guidelines are also proposed for using the ICT system for reporting community problems to build a creative relationship between motorcycle taxi drivers and governmentinstitutions in managing public space.
