Applying The Analytical Hierarchy Process (Ahp) Approach To Assess An Area-Based Innovation System In Thailand, Suwadee T. Hansasooksin, Nij Tontisirin
NAKHARA (Journal of Environmental Design and Planning)
This paper examines the criteria that is significant in building an area-based innovation system inThailand. The Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) questionnaire was distributed to experts in thearea of urban planning, development, and policy studies. They assessed and prioritized indicators that could shape the innovation system on a regional scale. The study found that enhancing human capital, innovation collaboration, innovation capability, cultural/knowledge resources, and innovation capacity is more important, rather than focusing on physical infrastructure development. This implies that major elements for an area-based innovation system in Thailand highly depend on citizen, institutions, and linkages across sectors.

NAKHARA (Journal of Environmental Design and Planning)
This paper has developed a model to forecast the housing needs and affordability of the low-incomehouseholds in Thailand 2018-2037. The model has applied the baseline data from the Socioeconomicsurvey (SES 2015). Considering official population projections by the changing age structure and household formations based on income, forecasts can be made about housing needed by 'Renters', who are the target group of the low-income households. Given, heuristic scenarios on households' income growth over time, an initial planning model for affordable units of housing by types for renters has been proposed. Effective government policy to mobilize social resource for this low-income household …

Tha Tien: Case Study Of Use Transformation, Peeraya Boonprasong
NAKHARA (Journal of Environmental Design and Planning)
Use transformation is a process of changing a place within a transforming context through renewed placemaking. The framework for use transformation within a place attachment process is to understandthe responsive behaviour to place bonding when applying the process of changing use. People, process and place are analyzed by the manner of change relevant to existing place. This paper is a selective case study. The theoretically selected Tha Tien is a representative historic market that is facing development and displacement from a rapidly growing tourist market and fashionable urban lifestyle.

Paradigm Of Eco-Urban-Agriculture For The Sustainable City:Integrating The Concept For Urban Dhaka, Ayasha Siddiqua
NAKHARA (Journal of Environmental Design and Planning)
The geographical location of Bangladesh is gifted with enormous natural recourse: water, alluvial land, suitable climatic conditions for bio diversity and other natural assets. The capital, Dhaka, surrounded by rivers on four sides, was once a blue-green-built environment offering a healthy living atmosphere for its habitants. The city was dotted with huge and crisscrossed water bodies, a tolerable population density, and enough open spaces. Urban and peri-urban areas of the city complemented its food demand which subsequently maintained the environmental equilibrium. The modern concept of eco-urban-agriculture will definitely be beneficial in such a dense city which is rapidly losing its …

NAKHARA (Journal of Environmental Design and Planning)
This paper seeks to connect the work of J.J.P. Oud, Aldo van Eyck, and Herman Hertzberger, the three Dutch protagonists to the dominant social issues that occurred from the 1940s to the 1960s. Theyaddressed the following issues: poverty, the housing shortages from the pre-World War II period, the sociopolitical issues in the collective expression of the public, rapid economy recovery, large population growth, and white-collar labor in the post-World War II period. The author will examine the role played by the Dutch government in advancing a progressive social agenda, and will demonstrate both continuities and discontinuities between them.
