    Two critical research problems emerge in creative education quality management: the framework misalignment problem, where business-oriented performance metrics inadequately assess design creativity and innovation, and the sustainability integration gap, reflecting limited incorporation of environmental and social sustainability dimensions into excellence models. This review article addresses these problems by developing an initial framework that adapts the Baldrige framework for urban design, architecture, art, and design education with integrated sustainability principles. Drawing on literature review and theoretical synthesis, the article proposes a framework that introduces three key epistemological shifts: prioritizing process over product, supporting non-linear and reflective learning pathways, and recognizing tacit, embodied, and experiential knowledge as central to creative education. The framework incorporates the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as core design challenges and introduces innovative evaluation tools, including portfolios with iterative review processes, community feedback loops, and SDG mapping rubrics. This research contributes to the educational quality management literature by offering a systematic framework that bridges business excellence models with creative education paradigms while positioning sustainability as a core educational objective rather than a peripheral concern.

    Several studies on cultural–creative tourism, urban branding (UB), youth engagement, and sustainability have been conducted in isolation, obstructing comprehensive approaches to UB development challenges. This review article aims to develop an integrated framework representing the complex interrelationships between these factors through a theory-based review and case study analysis. Methodologically, the investigation adopts bibliometric analysis using the VOSviewer software version 1.6.20 to identify thematic clusters across keyword pairings within research from 2000 to 2025, followed by content analysis for classification. The primary result is the Hierarchical–Relational Urban Sustainability (HRUS) framework, which employs a dual-pathway approach: (1) a sequential integration pathway, positioning cultural–creative tourism as the foundational mechanism supporting UB as the central concept, facilitating youth engagement as the key demographic group, and ultimately contributing to sustainability, and (2) a direct relationship pathway, examining specific connections between each factor and sustainability alone. This article contributes the first comprehensive framework that systematically integrates four main themes for sustainable urban development. The HRUS framework facilitates cross-sectoral collaboration by establishing actionable mechanisms for urban planners, universities, and tourism authorities to achieve sustainable urban brand development.

    Intermediaries and informal interactions in decentralised environmental management in peri-urban Bangkok
    (2011-01-01)

    Juxtaposition of urban and agricultural land uses in peri-urban areas results in intense and severe ecological problems, especially degradation of water in irrigation canals. In these areas, devolution has also been implemented, a process already saddled, as it were, with problems of low local capacity and susceptibility to elite capture. Overlaying of the devolution initiative on the complex ecological tensions in peri-urban areas has rendered devolved, formal environmental management functions problematic and created spaces susceptible to the various influences of non-state social actors. These spaces may result in local elite capture. On the other hand, they can create opportunities for meaningful grassroots community's empowerment to strengthen resident' claim to a clean environment vis-à-vis polluting industries through active engagement. Within this formal devolution process, informal transactions and the role of intermediaries are ubiquitous and critical in determining outcomes. Two case studies in the Bangkok Metropolitan Region demonstrate the beneficial role of intermediaries in enabling local communities to have severe pollution problems brought to the attention of appropriate levels of government and achieve some remedial action. Informality and role of intermediaries should thus be acknowledged and given space in developing the necessary innovative and adaptive institutions of governance for peri-urban areas.
