Myanmar migrant workers are employed in various job sectors such as agriculture, manufacturing factories, and service sectors. They usually earn an adequate wage, which provides a living that is not possible in their home country. However, their income and working conditions largely depend on several factors, including host language fluency. This paper is one of the first papers about migrants and Thai language fluency using Thailand as a case study. In this research study, open-ended questions were used to conduct semi-structured interviews with Myanmar urban migrant workers from different work sectors as well as a representative from a language academy in Bangkok. The results of this study show that Thai language proficiency affects the income of the Myanmar migrants as well as their career opportunities. The policy implications suggested by this paper include implementation of Thai language training for urban migrants by the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration and its non-formal education department.\u0000\u0000\u0000","PeriodicalId":428713,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Architectural/Planning Research and Studies (JARS)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123960053","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 composition and value evaluation process of the architectural heritage sites in Pattani Old Town are examined in this paper, with the objective of characterizing a spatially- defined cultural economy in the Pattani Old Town multicultural ring. The architectural heritage value assessment was done by a committee of experts and key stakeholders based on a weighted rating approach that considered six different criteria: value of the historical and archeological narrative; age and historical character; the buildings, places, and archeological sites condition; architectural and artistic characteristics; the composition and image of city; and the importance to society and community. Results of the value assessment showed 49.3% of the sites received a high score while 50.7% received a moderate score. No sites had a low score. It was found that the old town composition and the valuable architectural heritage sites with a high rating are clustered in the Anoru Sub-district, covering Hua Talat and its neighboring communities, and especially the three architectural heritage sites along the historical roadsides of Anoru Road, Pattani Pirom Road, and Ruedee Road. On these roads, various styles of architectural heritage sites, including traditional Chinese architecture, neoclassical architecture, art deco architecture, mixed Chinese-Malay architecture, and modern architecture are observed. The identification of the old town composition and the value evaluation of the architectural heritage sites led to recommendations for urban planning measures in Pattani Old Town that included a specific plan for managing land use and obtaining permission for construction, repair, and modification of the remaining buildings.\u0000\u0000\u0000","PeriodicalId":428713,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Architectural/Planning Research and Studies (JARS)","volume":"86 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126168330","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}

In this 4th revision, “Creative Commercial”, has been established for the first time under the category of C6 (Commercial Land Use type 6). However, the C6 land use is designated only for the Klongsan and Samyan areas. The Charoenkrung area in Bangrak District, officially approved as the first Creative Industry Hub (CIH) in Thailand, was not under the C6 category, but instead remains as C8 (Commercial Land Use type 8). This article aims to compare the differences and benefits of C6 and C8 land use designations through textual analysis of the pertinent urban planning policies and regulations. The textual analysis was then discussed with three creative entrepreneurs who represent the design, crafting, and selling of jewelry and accessories in Charoenkrung, to understand their impressions of land use requirements and the potential that policies and regulations can successfully support establishment of creative entrepreneurships in the area. Through Snowball Sampling, the the textual analysis and recommendations from the three representatives of the jewelry and accessories business were then further reviewed with two eminent experts who were highly experienced in this industry as a creative space developer and vice president of Thai Gems & Jewelry Traders Association.\u0000The results of the interviews show that the creative entrepreneurs in Charoenkrung were not convinced of the benefits in the land use regulations for either of the commercial land use types within the Bangkok Comprehensive Plan. The C8 has higher flexibility in terms of conditional usages as compared to C6. The C6 did not stipulate any special benefits that might be lucrative enough to promote creative business development. Thus, the Bangkok Comprehensive Plan should revisit the regulations and revise theC6 designation to have a clearer effect on promotion of the creative economy. Specifically, we propose three recommendations related to land use policy that would promote Charoenkrung as a creative district: 1) The Government should create Investment Promotion Zones for the creative industry. These zones might include tax waiver benefits for creative entrepreneurs and provide planning incentives for renewal of abandoned buildings into incubator spaces associated with new creative businesses; 2) Events and exhibitions at a national scale should be organized in Charoenkrung, utilizing soft infrastructure to promote city branding and marketing strategies; and 3) In connecting with the Thai word for love, (rak), “Love Marketing” should be used as a promotional opportunity for the Bangrak District to attract tourists and investors into Charoenkrung.\u0000\u0000\u0000","PeriodicalId":428713,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Architectural/Planning Research and Studies (JARS)","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130925728","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 methodology consisted of observation, interviews, and document analysis. The research found that the “practical ecological renovation” of the wooden house emerged from an experienced architect working under time, cost and the availability of material limitations. The concept is not to freeze the architecture, but to transfer cultural significance of the place and to accept certain changes. Accordingly, minimal intervention is desirable in making the house livable. From an ecological approach, natural aspects and traditional knowledge of craftsmanship from previous generations are outlined in this study. A non-linear and improvisational conservation occurred due to the project limitations. Ultimately, five dimensions have been identified in relation to the renovation of privately-owned houses, which are: nature and its essence; the balance between the owner’s requirements and the architect’s values; a network of craftspeople; craftsmanship and appropriate materials and technologies. However, these five emerging results are interrelated and inseparable. From a practical view, the wooden conservation is not only the preservation of physical fabrics, but it relates to other dimensions, including preservation of traditional knowledge and design techniques.\u0000\u0000\u0000","PeriodicalId":428713,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Architectural/Planning Research and Studies (JARS)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116118356","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}

Specifically, these advanced case studies are previously completed theses selected to represent certain research typologies that reflect the program goals. The program takes a novel approach in motivating students to creatively pursue their own research questions by engaging them with in-depth group discussions, content presentations from academic and practitioner experts, authentic, project-based practices in collaboration with different private and public-sector stakeholders, and the advanced research case studies. The methodology of this paper follows a qualitative research approach that relies on Stufflebeam’s CIPP model consisting of context, input, process and product elements. Along with class activities, the context of programs and learning types are first explored in relation to class and research inputs from 7 advanced case studies (theses) that focus on different components of the DBTM program. Then, the process of using focus groups in the classes to provide the students with exposure to authentic research experiences, culminating in their own research proposal presentations is discussed. Each of the student’s research proposals must include elements of multi-context research and are evaluated by a faculty committee and external experts, based on the study themes of DBTM and learning types. Most students tend to focus more on design and business concepts in their research proposals with less emphasis on the technology and management fields. A reflective key of the case study approach is the learning of a combination of cognitive, meaning and connectivism concepts to improve research understanding. To support this pedagogical approach, class activities are delivered through a combination of short lectures, sharing discussions for meaning learning, and well-rounded literature review for connectivism learning. These key findings contribute directly to the sustainable development of the master’s curriculum in the Design, Business and Technology Management program.\u0000\u0000\u0000","PeriodicalId":428713,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Architectural/Planning Research and Studies (JARS)","volume":"04 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129300075","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 readiness of the city also helps support a major event format that is appropriate for the context of the city and its identity. This study examined the readiness of a city through the lens of 6 key factors, i.e., geography, history, culture, tourist attractions or event venues, facilities, and transportation system of the city. In addition, the study assessed event potential for a city using criteria that included: having international content; potential to attract a large number of participants and international media; potential to generate economic benefits for the city; community participation activities; potential of the organizer and the event area; and ability to create a positive event experience. The proposals for the major events are divided into 2 types: local events that have potential to be upgraded to major events; and international major events that can be engaged to organize in the area according to the types of event: sports events, entertainment events, creative and lifestyle events, and art and cultural events. The result of the study revealed the criteria for assessing potential areas for hosting major events within the context of the city characteristics and capabilities.

Because of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, Thai people have healthier lifestyles, more concerned about their health, and consequently, change their behaviours to adapt to the ‘new normal’ ways of living. According to the result of an opinion survey by Suan Dusit Poll, 45.39% have changed their attention to healthcare by exercising, eating more healthy products, and emphasising housing and health education, and criteria for evaluating residential buildings have been established.\u0000The research study shows that the assessment criteria such as LEED and BREEAM mainly focus on energy and resource efficiency to reduce environmental impacts. At the same time, WELL and CASBEE tools are primarily occupant-oriented and include universal design principles. All of these aim for improving residents’ quality of life. The analysis of factors for healthy housing development indicates that residents were satisfied with eight essential factors such as location, lighting, materials, water quality, comfort, sound, air quality and energy conservation. Among these aspects, comfort and sound are the most critical factors. The results highlight the emphasis of project developers and architects. In the context of Thailand, the SOOK Building Standard by Thai Green Building Institute (TGBI) is a criterion used to evaluate both residential and other types of buildings. The objective of this research is to produce building evaluation criteria for residential and other building types.

It is necessary to equip local stakeholders with housing management capacity under a participatory process. In this project, a housing development plan that included extensive community participation was delivered to Bungkan province which is the most recently established province in Thailand (2011) and as such, still lacked such a plan. The research project, “Housing Development and Informal Settlement Prevention Plan of Bungkan City” was conducted collaboratively by the National Housing Authority of Thailand and Khon Kaen University. The three major research objectives were to: formulate a city housing development plan for Bungkan city; create a participatory process of stakeholders that empowered their capacity through the planning process; and create a mechanism for housing development which connects key agencies from the national level to the local community. The research applied the Ladder of Participation (Arnstein, 1969) as the theoretical framework, with a mixed scale of the ladders including Consultation, Partnership, and Delegated Power. Data gathering and the planning process used a mixed method approach that included geospatial analysis through a Geographic Information System application, in-depth interviews, a questionnaire survey, stakeholder meetings, study trips, workshops, and exhibitions. At the end of project, the research achieved a housing development plan for Bungkan city with a new vision that included 5 strategies, 12 plans, and 46 projects. The research found that the key factor of project success was stakeholder’s inclusion at the beginning stage to the last stage of operation.

Design practices and experimental studies in related fields are moving forward at a rapid pace. However, less data are available in relation to design perspectives for cognitive health in the ageing population.

Relevant English language documents were searched and reviewed through online databases e.g. Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, Google Scholar and ResearchGate. In this review, the environmental interventions include both physical and social environment interventions. The physical interventions focus on selective attention and decision-making via the Stroop effect and juggling balls respectively. The social intervention focuses on positive behaviour and benefits related to volunteerism and volunteer activities. This article presents environmental interventions that can be integrated as normal daily activities for ageing people to live healthier and more cognitively enriching lives. These interventions could be used in wellness design strategies and applications for designers.
