Bangkok Boundaries Social Networksin The City Of Mubahnchatsan, Bart Wissink, Renske Dijkwel, Ronald Meijer
NAKHARA (Journal of Environmental Design and Planning)
Bangkok is rapidly transforming into a city of Mubahnchatsan, the Thaiversion of the gated community of which the inhabitants belong to thesame income group. In the vast urban field of this city, new mubahnchatsanfor various income groups are built at an incredible rate. As such, Bangkok isyet another example in a range of cities where gated living is becoming thenorm instead of an exception. Urban studies literature gives these gated com-munities a bad press. Walls and gates are said to create exclusionary spacesthat physically separate the lives of the 'haves' and the 'have-nots'. The publicsphere is undermined because these groups …

Modernitiesand Memoriesin Bangkok, Brian Mcgrath
NAKHARA (Journal of Environmental Design and Planning)
Wat Pathumwanaram, a green oasis in the heart of the newly redevelopedCentral Shopping District of Bangkok, represents not only a repositoryof cultural memory within this modern corner of the city, but also bearswitness previous episodes of historical modernities and memories inThailand. It is the purpose of this paper to juxtapose modernity and memory ascoupled concepts which continually interact in space and time. Memory is animportant concept of modernity outlined here through the concepts of 19thcentury French philosopher Henri Bergson, and modernity has developed itsown memories, especially in this particular area of Bangkok where so manyhistorical forms of modernity have found …

New York Citye Xperiencing An Orchestration Of Space And Time, Mark Isarangkun Na Ayuthaya
NAKHARA (Journal of Environmental Design and Planning)
Any trip to any city is a plunge into perplexity. The total shift betweenenvironments, the sudden change in daily routine or the difference intime put the simple practice of every day life into question. Displacement anddisorientation put away the lazy negligence of daily routine. The unfamiliarsituations evoke greater awareness and curiosity to the seemingly normalconditions. More importantly, they also uncover possibilities of a positivechange in perspective. Journeys from one place to another or a change of placeraise problems about space as much as time. As the world shrinks rapidly dueto the technological and communicational progress, and cities are connectedin many …

Bio-Solar Home The Integrated Design Approach For Renewable And Sustainable Solution, Soontorn Boonyatikarn, Vorasun Buranakarn
NAKHARA (Journal of Environmental Design and Planning)
Site design and land use concepts are extremely important for housingdesign and urban renewal concept, especially when their relates toenergy conservation and sustainable development. The solution presented willinclude the investigation of microclimate elements along with the actual moni-toring data. The solution is finally used for designing the future bio-solar homewhich has proved to be very successful.

The Scope Of Facility Management, Wanlaya Patanapiradej
NAKHARA (Journal of Environmental Design and Planning)
The facility management (FM) as an industry has emerged as one of thefastest growing sector over the decade. However, the scope and identityof FM is still fuzzy as evidenced by the definitions and issues which attempt todescribe its scope. In fact, FM is the multi-disciplinary kind of work that coversa wide range of various activities, responsibilities and knowledge. Moreoverevery aspect of an organisation seems to be drawn into FM. This articleattempts to identify the current scope of the FM from professional perspectivesby using models and frameworks to explain theoretically both operational andstrategic levels. The article firstly focuses on organisation where …

Viability Conceptfor Enhancing Historic Town Centresin The United Kingdom, Doosadee Thaitakoo
NAKHARA (Journal of Environmental Design and Planning)
In the UK, historic town centres have been successfully planned andimplemented to avoid a conflict between conservation and development.Preventive measures were developed to protect the built heritage fromthreatening forms of development. As a result, they can keep on evolvingproperly to supply quality goods/services and a pleasant environment.Rebuilding this balanced mix of conservation and development has been madethrough the use of the viability concept. The term viability is used todetermine whether a town centre has a capacity for living or not. Viabilityincludes the ability of the centre to attract continuing investment to maintainthe environment. This concept was constructed for investigating the …

A Comparative Study Of The Development Of Rail Transit Lines In Eastern Bangkok, Bussara Intrachiensiri, Sakchai Kirinpanu, Nopanant Tapananont
NAKHARA (Journal of Environmental Design and Planning)
Since rail transit development is a mega project which normally requiresan astronomical investment, it is imperative for decision-makers tochoose the transit lines which are really worth the investment and yield themost benefits to the city. This research is a comparative study of 2 rail transitlines, i.e., the Orange Line which would serve developed areas where traveldemands are presently high, and the Red Line which would serve less-developed areas where additional development could potentially be therebyinduced. The study was divided into 3 phases: 1) forecasting the changes inresidential and non-residential building areas as induced by the transit lines,and estimating future population …

Traditional Thai Architecture was initially created from Thai behavior onthe basis of beliefs. Each feature, for instance, had differentdecorated styles; nevertheless, they had the same main function such as Spacescreated by separated time zoning, split step floors, being made of naturalmaterial and prefabricated building elements.
