Refining The Adaptive Capacity Framework For World Heritage Management, Montira Unakul Jan 2019

Refining The Adaptive Capacity Framework For World Heritage Management, Montira Unakul

NAKHARA (Journal of Environmental Design and Planning)

Well-developed in the context of climate change, the concept of adaptive capacity has so far not been applied extensively to the study of World Heritage management. This paper applies the analytic framework of adaptive capacity to better understand how institutional attributes enable or hinder systemic adaptation in managing World Heritage sites as boundaries of practice expand due to changing concepts of heritage and emerging management challenges. Drawing upon case studies from Southeast Asia, the study proposes a refined framework with the following dimensions of adaptive capacity: cognitive frames, learning capacity, resources, formal governance measures, organizational relationships, and agency.


The Effects Of Franco-Siamese Treaties On Ubon Ratchathani Urban Landscape Transformation, Lalida Boonmee Jan 2019

The Effects Of Franco-Siamese Treaties On Ubon Ratchathani Urban Landscape Transformation, Lalida Boonmee

NAKHARA (Journal of Environmental Design and Planning)

In the written history, Ubon Ratchathani, most documents point out that the urban areas have developed and changed because of the administrative reforms from Bangkok since the reign of King Chulalongkorn, Rama V. While this domestic cause has certainly been at play, there is another cause connected to foreign colonisation of the Indochina area. French troops forced Siam to accept the Franco-Siamese treaty in 1893, which affected the boundaries of Siam near the Mekong River. This article will address the effects of Franco-Siamese treaties on the Ubon Ratchathani urban landscape, and will highlight the urban elements which currently contribute to …

Collaborative Community Design Processes In Rural And Urban Settlements In Thailand, Sadanu Sukkasame Jan 2019

Collaborative Community Design Processes In Rural And Urban Settlements In Thailand, Sadanu Sukkasame

NAKHARA (Journal of Environmental Design and Planning)

This paper compares two contrasting processes of low-income community design in rural and urban areas in Thailand. The low-income Srabot community in the urban area is constructing a new settlement on newly purchased land. In parallel, the indigenous Banggloy community is located in the National Park as a community who were forcibly evicted from their village home to an allocated area where they constructed dwellings in the new village. Both cases were supported by housing loans and funding from the Thai Community Organizations Development Institute (CODI)1. The aim of this paper is to examine collaborative learning process based on low-income …

Evaluating The Policy Outcomes For Urban Resiliency In Informal Settlements Since Independence In Dhaka, Bangladesh: A Review, Ishrat Momtaz Badhan, Asma Siddika

NAKHARA (Journal of Environmental Design and Planning)

Today's cities are characterized by the process of urbanization, which in most cases is integrated with the escalation of informal settlements due to excessive migration followed by a housing crisis. This is a common situation for most cities in developing countries, such as Dhaka, the capital city of Bangladesh. Dhaka has emerged as one of the fastest growing megacities in recent times, which receives a major number of rural to urban migrants annually due to its growth as the major economic hub of Bangladesh. Dhaka has one of the largest populations among all global cities, which results in a critical …

Exploring The Cultural And Infrastructural Impacts Of Consumerism On The New Cuba, Grace Stainback Dec 2018

Exploring The Cultural And Infrastructural Impacts Of Consumerism On The New Cuba, Grace Stainback

Hatfield Graduate Journal of Public Affairs

This paper seeks to explore how a shifting economic model and an increasing influx of U.S. tourism, customs, and products will impact consumerism and waste in Cuba. The paper begins by charting the rise of an unwitting conservationist culture among Cubans, built out of necessity as a response to Castro-era economic hardships. This is followed by a discussion of recent Cuban economic reforms and the rise of tourism, private enterprise and material luxury in Cuba. For the emerging autonomous economic class who have shouldered decades of scarcity, the social and economic values of consumerism far outweigh any perceived environmental cost. …

Proceedings from the Document Academy

The paper outlines a research effort into the changing representations, policies, strategies, activities, and practices of libraries, archives, and museums (LAMs) in the digital age. Comprehensive social changes including big slow-moving processes, such as aging populations, global migration, technological change, and environmental change, expose communities and LAM institutions to vulnerabilities. How do the institutions handle vulnerabilities, how do they become more resilient, and how do they contribute to building the resilience of their local communities?

Journal of Global Initiatives: Policy, Pedagogy, Perspective

The Government of India has been challenged with a growing housing demand for more than half a century, since its independence in 1947. The shift in the country’s population from rural to urban creates an emerging dynamic in the housing gap. While India continues to move forward, already the world’s fastest growing economy, in the realm of manufacturing and services, the housing demand continues to increase. This paper investigates the causes and consequences of the housing shortage in India, by examining the country’s past policies that have been public housing, sites and services, slum upgrading and self-help programs, and …

Applying The Analytical Hierarchy Process (Ahp) Approach To Assess An Area-Based Innovation System In Thailand, Suwadee T. Hansasooksin, Nij Tontisirin Dec 2018

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.

Economicfactors Affecting The Changes In Temple Architecture In The Reign Of King Rama Ix, Pymporn Chaiyaporn

NAKHARA (Journal of Environmental Design and Planning)

Economic factors reflecting the prosperity of foreign trades from the Ayutthaya to the Rattanakosinperiods, brought about growth and changes in dwellings. These factors also supported and maintained Buddhism by restoring, reconstructing, and building temples. Traditions changed in the reign of King Bhumibol Adulyadej, Rama IX, due to a capitalist economic system. This system, which has expanded its influence over land use planning, tourism development, and economic revitalization, led to different directions in the development of temple architecture. This article studies the roles of an economic system which affected the design of temple architecture during the Buddhawat area. The research was …
