Attempts to improve the environmental factors in greenhouse cultivation include control of temperature, relative humidity, light intensity, carbon dioxide level, and air flow rate. Furthermore, indoor cultivation systems (growth chambers) have been developed and researched for comparison with greenhouse cultivation. In our study, comparative environmental data were collected in association with cannabis cultivation for a greenhouse and growth chamber, since commercial cannabis cultivation can include such methods. Accordingly, the data in this research were collected by choosing the same cannabis cultivars for both cultivation methods and by controlling the internal growing environments that affected cultivation. Data also were collected on the plant biochemical properties over the same time period and the collected data were analyzed using psychrometric charts. The findings of this research show that if the internal environment of the indoor cultivation method is well-regulated, better results in cannabidiol (CBD) extraction from blossoms can be achieved as compared to greenhouse cultivation, in which environmental regulation is less precise. Therefore, we conclude that if we can control the internal environment of greenhouse cultivation to be similar to the indoor cultivation method, the productivity of the two methods should be similar. The findings of this research can be used to develop greenhouse cultivation methods for other plants in order to improve future productivity and efficiency.","PeriodicalId":428713,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Architectural/Planning Research and Studies (JARS)","volume":"112 24","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140978123","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposed study also has a specific objective: to explore users’ demand for library space in terms of academic library attributes. A case study of the library in the Faculty of Architecture and Planning was conducted at Thammasat University. Multiple data collection methods were used, including document analysis, a questionnaire survey, a workshop, and focus group interviews, to gather information on users’ demand for the library space. The findings confirm the relevance of the variables in the conceptual model from previous studies, which encompass three key attributes regarding users’ demand for library space: physical, social, and digital spaces. Functional obsolescence and changing learning approaches are revealed as dominant influential factors affecting users’ demand for library space. The connection between post-occupancy evaluation (POE) and pre-design evaluation (PDE) in the redevelopment of a real estate project is considered as a shift from performance measurement to performance management, assisting in establishing agreed-upon performance goals for the operation. This study’s findings, derived from a single case study, do affect affect generalisability. However, the study provides insights into academic library design and renovation by emphasising the alignment of library spaces with user needs for improved service effectiveness and user satisfaction. The research introduces an integration of POE and PDE, proposing a methodological framework for future library space redevelopment that could contribute to the broader discussion on library design and user experience.","PeriodicalId":428713,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Architectural/Planning Research and Studies (JARS)","volume":" 19","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140999072","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, opaque walls commonly are side-lined in shading design due to a preoccupation with insulation properties, appearance, and aesthetics. Unprotected walls exposed to solar radiation maximize heat gain, while shaded walls decrease external heat gain and indoor temperature, resulting in improved indoor thermal comfort and well-being. This research employs EnergyPlus and SPSS to investigate the optimal design of overhang shading devices for opaque walls in Bangkok, Thailand. The investigation is divided into two phases: (1) determination of the optimal depth-to-space ratio of overhang devices based on a parametric study of 12 overhang configurations; (2) an evaluation of the ratio in reducing solar radiation. The findings demonstrate a relationship between the device depths and the wall solar radiation and indoor temperature. The optimum depth-to-space ratio is suggested as 1:1.15, which can lower the annual average indoor temperature by 3.53% (1.18°C) compared to the benchmark design. Deeper shading device depths than the optimum depth-to-space ratio can be applied, with a slight improvement in protective performance (and commensurately increased costs). This research underscores the importance of overhang shading devices as a performance-improving strategy for buildings in the tropical climate of Thailand.","PeriodicalId":428713,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Architectural/Planning Research and Studies (JARS)","volume":"10 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140262299","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study found that many different sets of selection and assessment criteria for MICE destinations and convention centers have been established by a number of national and international organizations. It is the intention of this paper to propose a synthesized set of criteria that would be applicable to the Thai context and which could be applied from the scale of the city to the scale of the convention center. The study also revealed that certain key factors can be found within all assessment criteria reviewed for MICE destinations: accessibility, MICE venue, context, and accommodation. Nevertheless, when considering the construction of a convention center, it must be accompanied by other physical developments of the city, such as MICE tourism-related infrastructure and facilities, as well as support from both the public and private sectors.","PeriodicalId":428713,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Architectural/Planning Research and Studies (JARS)","volume":"27 34","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139630913","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through examination and interpretation of scholarly articles, reports, policy documents, and relevant publications, we unravel the conceptual frameworks and terminology specific to Thailand’s urban resilience landscape. The study reveals the multidimensional nature of urban resilience, encompassing physical, environmental, social, economic, and institutional dimensions. By contrasting global and local terminologies, we emphasize the importance of contextualizing resilience concepts in terms of conditions that are uniquely Thai. The evolution of resilience-related terminology reflects Thailand’s shift towards a holistic and inclusive approach, emphasizing community-based processes, sustainability, and environmental protection. The implications for policy and practice offer actionable insights to foster resilience in Thai cities. Integrating local knowledge with global frameworks, fostering collaboration among stakeholders, promoting capacity building and knowledge sharing, and prioritizing monitoring and evaluation emerge as key strategies. These approaches aim to build resilient, sustainable, and inclusive urban environments that can withstand the challenges posed by climate change, rapid urbanization, and social disparities. This research serves as a foundation for further exploration, inspiring scholars, policymakers, and practitioners to delve deeper into the multifaceted aspects of Thailand’s urban resilience. By refining our understanding and harnessing collective wisdom, we can develop context-specific solutions that address the unique challenges faced by cities globally.","PeriodicalId":428713,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Architectural/Planning Research and Studies (JARS)","volume":"27 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139630953","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study methodology included a review of the literature to establish criteria for analyzing the location and developing the proposal of the concept design and a cadastral survey of two potential sites,in accordance with the policy of Rangsit City Municipality. The first site area was located in Soi Rangsit Nakhon Nayok 45, and the second was located in Soi Rangsit Nakhon Nayok 39. In analyzing the suitability of the two sites, the study considered location and accessibility, as well as environmental factors conducive to convenience and safety, wellbeing, recreation, and awareness. In comparing the two areas, the analysis showed a strong potential for Soi Rangsit Nakhon Nayok 39. to be a health and recreation center, as it met criteria regarding context of location, access, and linkage. The site can be accessed from several ways as well as easily connected to other public areas in the neighborhood. The surrounding area is open, well drained, and the rectangular area makes it easy to design and maintain safety. In terms of concept design, three main concepts were emphasized: Connect, Cool, and Clear. Connect focused on creating spaces with easy connection for either indoor or outdoor activities. Cool required the design to fit with local climate as a means of creating a comfortable state of mind. Lastly, Clear highlighted open spaces and uses shapes and lines which are easy to understand based on a concept of universal design, to facilitate access for people of all groups and ages.","PeriodicalId":428713,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Architectural/Planning Research and Studies (JARS)","volume":"28 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139150543","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

But, the question remains, how do we assess the ecosystem service benefits provided by competing NbS designs in order to optimize such benefits? As such, the objective of this study was to develop and trial an assessment approach for the valuation of ecosystem services in a peri-urban area of Bangkok, Thailand. In our evaluations we considered the ecosystem service benefits of: i) water yield; ii) sediment yield; iii) nutrient yield; iv) carbon sequestration; v) urban heat island mitigation; vi) crop production; vii) habitat quality; and viii) aesthetics. Our ecosystem services valuation approach was tested using three case studies in peri-urban Bangkok, Khlong Luang, Pathum Thani: i) an existing new single detached housing development in the area; ii) an area in its currently undeveloped, open and scrub forest state; and iii) the same area as (ii), but theoretically developed using an Agrihood design concept. The valuation approach included a combination of mathematical modeling for the water, sediment, and nutrient yield ecosystem services and an empirical, data-driven approach for urban cooling, carbon sequestering, crop production, habitat quality, and aesthetics. While the existing housing development design was meant to be relatively green and nature-oriented, the Agrihood design outperformed it in every ecosystem service category, including habitat quality and aesthetics. The Agrihood design also had lower sediment and nutrient yields and mean concentrations as compared to current (natural) conditions at the site, which is attributed to the inclusion of constructed wetlands in the design for the main drainage canal. This work represents a good preliminary step in establishing a local scale ecosystem services valuation framework for urban areas in a tropical climate, but additional refinements to the indicator determinations are needed.\u0000\u0000\u0000","PeriodicalId":428713,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Architectural/Planning Research and Studies (JARS)","volume":"66 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121272538","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paradoxical mechanism between practicing and teaching when career switching from a professional practitioner to a university instructor can harmoniously integrate theory and praxis to illuminate future paths and amplify innovation. Here, I use the Woodbury Towers in the Woodbury Irvine Community as a case study to explore planning design practice in context of the Southern California landscape as the subject of the self-peer review process.

Landscape architecture can contribute to a sense of community by contributing theories, experiences and design vision in the development process.
