This research aimed to alleviate problems of environments and facilities of people with disabilities in retail and wholesale companies within the area of Bangkok, Thailand by applying the concept of universal design to enhance their environment. The data were collected by using interviews, questionnaires, and observation. The results were applied to a design process based on the needs of people with physical disabilities and addressed solving their work problems, increasing their work effectiveness. Testing was conducted to compare pretest and post-test results using designed products to evaluate the work effectiveness of the people with physical disabilities using statistical analysis (paired t-tests). The results using developed products showed a higher average post-test score than pre-test. The average score of pre-test and post-test had a value of X = 13.0667, SD =2.93906 and X = 14.667, SD = 2.6903, and this supported the research hypothesis.

Implementations of safety measures ranked among major concerns for all involving parties in tourism industry-from both the public and private sectors and civil society-since they these procedures could generate either positive or negative effects on livelihood in a community, economic progress, social practice, and physicality of the built environment. Today, as information technology (IT) had increasingly been integrated with travel activities, this paper presented an exploratory research on an application software for tourism safety, experimented at the UNESCO World Heritage Site in Si Satchanalai Historical Park in Thailand. In effect, the aims of the Smart World Heritage Si Satchanalai Application (SWHSA) were to supply tourists with a customizable, diversified, and cost-effective cybernetic means to conceive and organize their travel planning, which could be tailored to suit particular needs of the users according to their: 1) travel durations; 2) types of leisure activities; and 3) numbers of attractions preferred to see in a certain length of time. As shown by the upcoming analytical and evaluative discussions, the said criteria were specified by the distance, in conjunction with variety and distribution of places intended to visit per day by the users. Altogether, the investigations on SWHSA demonstrated its values in terms of an interactive IT model that provided multifaceted information-which not only: 1) helped the inhabitants and state authority in Si Satchanalai monitor and respond to evolving situations on tourism safety in real time; and 2) enabled travelers to expediently plan their trips as they desired.

Via its investigations on three types of buildings, consisting of residential, religious, and educational structures, this research: (1) provides guidelines for the creation of local identity via architecture erected in the areas adjacent to UNESCO World Heritage sites; and (2) examines the mechanism in creating such an identity. As exhibited by the upcoming discussions, the economic, social, cultural and technological conditions are central not only for practical requirements and structural integrity of those buildings, but also for expressions of the local identity. In addition to maintaining a delicate balance between aesthetics, architectural realization, and local wisdom, the creations of the case studies engage all involving parties in the following five domains as well, which are: (1) generation of public consciousness; (2) design participation; (3) establishment of Heritage Academic Research Community; (4) recognitions for the values of the Thai identity; and (5), creative integration of stakeholders with community networks.

This research aims to improve the work effectiveness of people with physical disabilities in department stores, retail and wholesale companies in Bangkok. It focuses on the environment and facilities needed by people with three types of disabilities, visual impairment, hearing impairment, and wheelchair users. A mixed research method was used (questionnaires, interviews, and observations). The results were applied to a design process based on the needs of people with physical disabilities and addressed solving their work problems, increasing their work effectiveness, and bringing the results of the design to a group discussion. The group was made up of 15 experts who were supervisors, representatives of the people with each type of physical disability, instructors, and personnel from the university knowledgeable about universal design for people with disabilities. Architects and designers helped to brainstorm ideas and develop designs that led to production and product testing. Testing was conducted to compare pretest and posttest results using designed products to evaluate the work effectiveness of the people with physical disabilities using statistical analysis (paired t-tests). The results using developed products showed a higher average posttest score than pretest. This indicated a statistically higher work effectiveness (α =0.05) and supports the research hypothesis.

Culinary wisdom is an essential part of a culture as it signifies the way of life, belief system, traditions, the environment, and social contexts of communities. Phuket has been recognized as a UNESCO City of Gastronomy and a primary tourism city in Thailand, with a highlight in the cultural diversity of food reflecting the way of life from birth to death. Food also plays a crucial role in local rituals as well as festivals, during which wisdom i s transmitted from generation to generation. Understanding the elements that influence local food culture and wisdom will lay the groundwork for the long-term preservation, development, and perpetuation of this precious heritage. This knowledge will enable the continuous presentation of its value to a broader audience, as well as foster a sense of pride in the unique identity of the local commu nity. Furthermore, it will aggressively promote cultural heritage conservation and the development of gastronomic tourism, which can provide sustainable economic benefits and enhance the international reputation of the city. Thus, factors influencing the transmission of cultural and culinary wisdom in Phuket were studied. In the study, data were collected from 1,200 pe ople using a simple random sample (400 local people, 400 Thai tourists, and 400 foreign tourists). The findings were evaluated using both exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Research results revealed that 5 factors have an influence on the inheritance of cultural and culinary wisdom in Phuket for Thai and foreign tourists, including 1) knowledgeable chefs representing their culture in cooking, 2) the authenticity of recipes and cooking, 3) heritage food that is subject to cultural and societal influences, 4) inheritance, and 5) the locality of ingredients. All 5 factors can be applied to promote the efficiency of gastronomy tourism for the image of Phuket's local food.

In 2018, a group of faculty members and students from King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology, Ladkrabang (KMITL), and Royal College of Art (RCA) organized workshops and field trips to Sukhothai province in Thailand to explore the livelihood along with cultural heritages, social practices, and sustainable learning by the inhabitants of communities in Si Satchanalai district. Conceptually informed by Spencer Kagan’s notion of Cooperative and Collaborative (C&C) sustainable learning approach employed by the KMITL-RCA collaborations, this research examined the 2018 workshops and excursions for their roles in 1) advancing tacit knowledge on the artistic and architectural heritages of Si Satchanalai; and 2) bridging a horizon of understanding between Thai and foreign students. In order to assess the pedagogical efficacy of the C&C approach, the upcoming evaluative discussions encompassed a series of dependent sample t-tests, utilizing several questionnaires, surveys, and personal conversations for collecting data to construct a content model in terms of comparative studies between the KMITL and RCA participants. Not only did the statistical inquiries: 1) validate the methodological applicability of the C&C edifying model but also 2) demonstrate its merits in promoting cross-cultural learning in architectural and design discipline.

This paper considers the interpretation of a local museum in Thailand using the local museum of Thai Bueng Khok Salung as a case study. Data collection was carried out from 9 September 2015 to 22 January 2018. The collected data were derived from related documents, previous studies, in-depth interviews and observations. This present research aimed to investigate the interpretation of the case study through the management of "persons, places, and things". The findings revealed that there are two major types of interpretation at the museum: the interpretation for the people in the community (that is, indigenous curators, local visitors, and local people) and the interpretation for the people outside the community (that is, general visitors and specific-purpose visitors). The results of the study indicate an appropriate and effective interpretation system for the specific community context which encourages people-both locals and foreigners-to be aware of the value of the community. Consequently, as a result of their awareness, people would increasingly cherish their community and work in collaboration with other people for the sustainable development of the community.

Baan Fai Rim Ping: a haptic approach to the phenomenon of genius loci by a riverside residence in Thailand
(2023-01-01)
Noobanjong, Koompong
;

Standing on the west bank of the Ping river in northern Thailand, Baan Fai Rim Ping displayed a fluid profile of multiple perspective points. Such an eccentric appearance, however, belied the senses of place and historical continuity, along with the feeling of belonging provided by this waterfront residence. Apart from occupying a prime estate near a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Kamphaeng Phet province, apposite utilisations of materials, coupled with sensational spatial organisation and formal composition, were the major contributing factors to the said characteristics. Informed by a conceptual framework of genius loci, this research presented multidimensional inquiries on the haptic design of Baan Fai Rim Ping for generating a phenomenon of place through the sensory receptions of its dwellers. Containing three thematic foci, the studies firstly examined the contextual background leading to the creation of the building. Second, the investigations concentrated on how the design parameters and elements of the house were developed and implemented. Third, the aforementioned modes of problematisation lent a basis to argue that the quality of placeness was not confined exclusively to traditional or vernacular structures, but could be found in the unorthodox aesthetics of Baan Fai Rim Ping as well.
