Full textAbstract:
The housing estates boom was and is a result of the Southeast Asia economic growth after the economic crisis between 1997 and 1998. Housing estates, especially in the suburbs of Bangkok, are designed by considering only aesthetics and costs without considering the negative effects that might occur to the occupants and nature. These negative effects lead to the insufficiency energy crisis.Determining how to reduce the energy used and increase the living quality in the building type is the critical question for architects to answer. Redesigning the housing estate using sustainable design concepts, especially with a focus on the natural ventilation and shading device strategies, can lift up the occupants' living quality because such design can provide cross ventilation through the house and solar shading to reduce the heat gain in the house. Not only would such design improvements make houses more comfortable for inhabitants, they also would reduce the energy use.The methodologies of research start with spatial analyses to define the general character of this type of house, then the redesigning of a selected existing house is used to focus on natural ventilation and shading devices design in order to improve the occupants living quality and to reduce the energy used in the house. It is hoped that this project can be the first step for other architects to understand the logic of natural ventilation and shading control design strategies within the realm of sustainability.Department of Architecture

Full textAbstract:
Bangkok's dramatic growth in the last three decades has brought with it a wide range of urban problems - economic, architectural, environmental, and social. One problem has been a demand for a new dwelling and work spaces. The Bangkok townhouse has served to meet both needs, but the forms it has taken thus far leaves needs improvement.This creative project proposes improvements to the Bangkok townhouses to make it more responsive to its environment as well as interior functions. The improvements focus on facades, reorganization of interior spaces, and physical townhouse elements. The study uses a typological and environmental study to understand and investigate examples of existing Bangkok townhouses. This includes case study analyses to suggest daylighting design strategies for design applications.This study proposes a facade design guideline and a set of physical arrangement suggestions for enhancing the daylight, ventilation, and accommodation capacity of the Bangkok townhouses. In addition, potential applications of the facade guidelines are illustrated. The facade and physical arrangement guidelines can be a fundamental concept for further development and improvement of the Bangkok and other townhouses in locations throughout Thailand.Department of Architecture

Full textAbstract:
Although the issues concerning urban design have attracted much attention in the last decade, and the context of urban design is better understood, several critiques of the manner in which contemporary urban design is practised and researched remain persistent. Responding to this issue and the continuity of urban problems, the search for an alternative urban design should be continued. The basic research goal of this thesis was to alleviate the problems of urban design intervention and practice. It aimed to do this by searching for an urban design process that leads to the successful improvement of the urban environment, whilst respecting the needs of people through an urban design project. The thesis objectives examine the urban design process and assess the urban design product as a result of urban intervention. In this way, the relationship between the urban design process and product is revealed. It then formulates an explanatory synthesis of the main factors that have influenced the success of the urban design project. The main research findings show that there is a strong relationship between the urban design process and users' satisfaction with the urban design product. Specifically, it can be concluded that the degree of shared objectives between the residents and local authorities is the main factor in achieving a successful urban design project. In this sense, the results support the thesis hypothesis 'The success of urban design projects depends upon the degree of shared objectives between the users (residents) and producers (local authorities)'. At project level, it seems that the physical and environmental problems provide the central motivation for urban design intervention in the city. In terms of design content, the results show that the improvement of physical function and visual perception are always mentioned as the main project's objectives. In contrast, compared with other substantive urban design aspects, the social aspect is likely to be less considered. Finally, the research findings imply that, in some way, the political and economic contexts of the city influence the urban design intervention.

Full textAbstract:
The purposes of the study were to: 1) identify Indian tourists' demographics and travel patterns; 2) examine Indian tourists' motivation to take the Bangkok area trip; 3) examine the level of importance of information sources; 4) identify the level of satisfaction of Indian tourists on their travel experience on the Bangkok area attributes; and 5) examine the intention to return and willingness to recommend the Bangkok area and Thailand. The findings showed that Indian tourists were motivated to visit the Bangkok area by both push and pull factors. Family and/or friends and the Internet were considered as important sources in trip decision making. Indian tourists were generally satisfied with the Bangkok area's attributes. They also showed the desire to revisit and recommend Bangkok and Thailand as travel destinations.

Cette thèse en sciences du langage aborde la ville de Bangkok avec une perspective d'ethnographie urbaine et un questionnement sociolinguistique. Nous posons la question du rapport phonie-graphie en langue thaïe et de l'élaboration de normes de transcription en alphabet thaï et alphabet latin. Puis nous cherchons à voir à travers l'écrit urbain quelles sont les pratiques réelles des habitants de Bangkok vis-à-vis de ce bilettrisme thaï-latin. La méthodologie mise en oeuvre repose sur un corpus photographique numérique servant à relever les écrits et écritures présents dans l'espace urbain en 2003, à identifier les rues, à classer les supports de l'écrit. Puis, l'analyse sociolinguistique s'attache à interpréter les contenus des messages, à définir le lexique spécifique, à préciser les manifestations du plurilinguisme, et surtout à commenter la coexistence entre alphabet thaï et alphabet latinThis thesis in linguistics focuses on the city of Bangkok with urban ethnography methodology and sociolinguistics theoretical questioning. We study the relationship between phonics and writing in Thai and the elaboration of norms of transcription. Then we look for the reality of social usage of biliteracy Thai-Latin in urban writing. The methodology implemented is based on a digital photographic corpus source of the transcription of writings present in the urban space in 2003, of the identification of the streets, and the classification of the writing mediums. Then the sociolinguistics analysis aims to interpret the message contents, to define the specific glossary, to specify the conditions of languages contact, and especially to comment the technical questions of co-existence and transcription between Thai alphabet and Latin alphabet

Full textAbstract:
This study explores the media reception patterns and impact of celebrity culture on identity construction of Bangkok teenagers. The hypothesis is that audiences do not necessarily decode identical media messages in the same way as encoded. Bangkok teenagers with different ages and genders are likely to read texts regarding celebrities differently. Celebrities may not influence all teenage audiences to a significant degree and, for affected teenagers, the degree of influence may differ. Celebrities may act as good or as bad role models. This study employs a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods including (1) preliminary survey, (2) analysis of media content from quantitative and qualitative points of view, and (3) focus group discussions with different categories of Bangkok teenagers. These evolved around a selection of media items related to issues of fashion, substance abuse, and sexuality. The findings provided evidence that the meanings the young audiences derived from the celebrity coverage did not always coincide with those encoded by the media and that often alternative readings were generated alongside the preferred reading. Cultural ideologies and social environment were found to be the most significant factors impacting the text decoding. This investigation did not corroborate the popular belief that Bangkok teenagers were uncritical victims of media coverage. Data confirmed that they are critical and active media users and the extent to which their behavior is shaped by the media is relatively limited. Celebrity culture did not seem to influence Bangkok youth to an extent that can be regarded as socially harmful or culturally detrimental. On the contrary, it had certain positive effects in areas such as education, music, sports, and lifestyles. Peer groups were found to be more influential than celebrities in areas such as substance abuse and sexuality. This project makes contributions to the area of mass communication; audience reception and media effects in particular, and celebrity and youth culture studies.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse analyse les effets de la patrimonialisation de l’île de Rattanakosin entre 1978 et 1997. Elle analyse les métamorphoses urbaines et les permanences paysagères, éléments de référence dans la formation et l’évolution de Rattanakosin. L’aspect historique, physique ou spirituel, de ces permanences est confronté au contexte urbain actuel. Elles démontrent que l’eau est l’élément fondateur de la ville ancienne, que trois axes d’extension urbaine, Rajadamnoern, Bamrungmuang, et Charoernkrung, ont été les facteurs essentiels de la métamorphose de la cité, en favorisant activités, extension et liens entre le centre ancien et la métropole. Depuis 1978, ces permanences sont devenues l’élément clef de la politique de patrimonialisation. Supports incontestés du développement urbain, économique et touristique, elles guident la stratégie des acteurs des projets d’aménagement, pour requalifier le centre ancien et rétablir son image en l’intégrant dans la réalité et les besoins du futurThis thesis analyses the effects of heritage management on the of the Island of Rattanakosin from 1978 to 1997, by studying its urban metamorphosis and permanent landscape features, leading to a comparison between their historical 'physical', or 'spiritual', nature and today's urban context. It can be seen that water has been fundamental in the shaping of the old city, and that the 'three axes', namely Rajadamnoen, Bamrungmuang and Charoenkrung, have been the most important organizing factor in its metamorphosis. The main link between the old city and its metropolis, they have seen uninterrupted intense activity, and urban extension. Since 1978, these 'permanent' elements have become key, in a physical sense, to the politics of heritage management, informing urban, economic and tourist development alike. They provide a framework for all urban strategies aiming to redefine the old centre in keeping with its traditional image, whilst equipping it for the reality and needs of the future

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to determine the current status of the educational media programs in six teachers' colleges in Bangkok by analyzing the educational media programs as they are perceived by teachers, educational media teachers, and administrators with regard to utilization, administration, and personnel.
The survey instrument was distributed to the 120 teachers, thirty-seven educational media teachers, and sixty administrators in the six major teachers* colleges in Bangkok. The total number of responses was 185, or 85.25 per cent of the population of teachers, educational media teachers, and administrators. The data were tabulated, and categories of availability and usage of educational media were established. The t test was applied to the data obtained from teachers and administrators to determine if significant differences existed at the 0.05 level with regard to the ranking of qualifications needed by educational media teachers.
The findings from this study indicate that the teachers, educational media teachers, and administrators surveyed are basically in agreement regarding the utilization of educational media. Teachers and administrators agree on the qualifications of educational media teachers who serve in the teachers" colleges and in the majority of teachers' colleges the educational media center is a separate entity. Recommendations with regard to the training of educational media teachers and classroom teachers and suggestions for further study of the us. of educational media in other types of institutions of higher learning in Thailand are made.

Duangyiwa, Chanita. "Modelling future flood risks in the Bangkok Metropolitan Region." Thesis, Loughborough University, 2017. https://dspace.lboro.ac.uk/2134/25751.
Full textAbstract:
Due to rapidly changing climate and socio-economic conditions, many coastal areas are becoming increasingly vulnerable to internal and external risks of flooding. Low-lying coastal mega-cities in Southeast Asia are widely recognized as hotspots of flood risk. The Bangkok Metropolitan Region is one of the largest coastal megacities in Southeast Asia that is challenged by the potential impacts of climate change and human activities expected over coming decades. The overarching aim of this research is to evaluate present and future flood risks due to the combined impacts of climate (sea-level, rainfall regime and storm surge) and human (land subsidence and drainage capacity) factors in Bangkok Metropolitan region, Thailand. To design plausible future scenarios, flow and precipitation records were examined using the Log Pearson Type III frequency analysis approach. Land subsidence (LS) and sea level rise (SLR) scenarios were derived from historical records and published studies. Future flood risks (fluvial, surface water, and coastal) were modelled under various combinations of key drivers (SLR, storm surge, LS and increased river flow). The October 2011 flood in Thailand was used as a baseline event for coastal and fluvial flood modelling. Scenarios were designed with projections of LS and SLR to 2050, 2080, and 2100. A two-dimensional flood inundation model (FloodMap) was used to derive coastal inundation depth, velocity and extent associated with each scenario. Coupled modelling of one-dimensional river flow (HEC-RAS) and two-dimensional flood inundation (FloodMap) was undertaken. Surface water flood modelling simulated the 2015 event in model calibration. A two-hour rainfall event that occurred in 2011 was used as the baseline to derive future scenarios with increased precipitation of various return periods and topographies accounting for land subsidence. For each type of flood modelling, sensitivity analysis was first conducted to investigate the effects of mesh resolution and roughness parameters on model predictions. Results indicate that the model is sensitive to both resolution and roughness, but to various degrees, depending on the metrics used in the evaluation. Spatial metrics such as the Root Mean Standard Error, F and point depth are able to distinguish between model predictions and reveal the spatial and temporal derivations between simulations. The impacts of flood risk on critical infrastructure nodes (e.g. power supply, transportation network, rescue centres, hospitals, schools and key government buildings) were then evaluated under various scenarios. Overall, results suggest progressively increased risks of coastal, surface water, and fluvial flooding to critical infrastructures over time from 2050, 2080 to 2100. Flood modelling of coastal and fluvial inundation processes suggests that the combined impacts of individual risk drivers is, in most cases, far greater than any of the individual factors alone. This study demonstrates that flood risks in coastal mega-cities like Bangkok must be evaluated in a holistic manner, taking into account multiple key risk drivers and considering the potential joint-occurrence of various types of flooding. Moreover, where numerical modelling was undertaken and infrastructure data are available, local hotspots of flood risks under various scenarios can be identified, allowing potential adaptation measures to be evaluated within the modelling framework developed. This research is the first to consider multiple flood risk drivers and interacting flood risks within a single modelling framework in the Bangkok Metropolitan Region. It will have long lasting legacy for flood risk management in the region and beyond, enabling more effective adaptation in a changing climate through: (i) raised awareness of multiple risk drivers and interacting flood risks for both the public and policy makers; (ii) further and more complete assembly of various data sets when they become available based on the template demonstrated in this study; and (iii) identification of hotspots of critical infrastructure and communities at risk using refined and alternative modelling approaches within the modelling framework developed in this study.

Full textAbstract:
Doctor of PhilosophyFollowing decades of sweeping social change, a 'new' Thai middle class emerged to become the main agents of the mass demonstrations which have rocked Bangkok for the better part of the past four years. Yet, the academic literature reveals a marked paucity of data on the urban middle class, and on Bangkok's systems of stratification. This dissertation addresses this lacuna with research based on eighteen months of ethnographic fieldwork in Bangkok. My investigations suggest that an indigenous spatial-symbolic matrix, encapsulated in centralising and hierarchising mandalic principles, continues to inform both cultural understandings of stratification and the socio-spatial structure of Bangkok. However, traditional status distinctions are now pervaded by the idiom of material wealth introduced by the forces of global markets. Today, life in Bangkok is framed by a hierarchy of affluence which echoes the numerical precision of the premodern sakdina system of status differentiation. Accordingly, I argue that the notion of the 'urban-rural divide' popularly used to describe the conflict obscures a more complex reality in which city and countryside are linked by reciprocal relations within both urban and national systems of status and class. This is clearly discernable in the nature of everyday interclass relations in Bangkok which have been exacerbated by contemporary diminishment and marginalisation of upcountry Thais by the urban middle classes. It is an incendiary dynamic that has been exploited to tremendous effect in the current political power struggle. I demonstrate that the middle class is significantly stratified internally, and explore how middle class culture and identity are drawn in large part from their understandings of status practices of elites. Much of this takes place in the public spaces of the city's scores of shopping malls, which articulate a local vernacular of prestige where hierarchical power relations are inscribed in urban space. Structural constraints and the societal privileging of wealth and connections are constant challenges to middle class aspirations for upward mobility, and the Bangkokian middle class harbours no illusions of Thai society as a meritocracy. This disenchantment has been channelled into a churning politics of resentment with demonstrably explosive potential. Ultimately, however, I argue that middle class discontent will contribute little to reform while the majority of individuals feel their only avenue for social mobility is to negotiate a pre-existing system of stratification which many perceive as unjust.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of study was to compare job satisfaction and job dissatisfaction among faculty members at six teachers colleges in the Bangkok metropolitan area with respect to age, gender, length of experience, level of education, administrative position, academic rank, department, faculties, and salary. The findings of this research were compared with previous studies of Vatthaisong (1982) and Karoonlanjakorn (1986), which measured job satisfaction among faculty members in the Northeastern part and in the non-metropolitan areas of Central Thailand. Additionally, this inquiry expanded the two previous studies and speculated on the possibility that Herzberg's two-factor theory is adaptable to Thai faculty members in Thailand. The instrument consisted of ten demographic items and a 67-statement questionnaire. The questionnaire was based on Herzberg's two-factor theory, and used a five-point rating scale for ten facets of job satisfaction/dissatisfaction. The total stratified random sampling population was made up of 400 faculty members from six teachers colleges in the Bangkok metropolitan area. The returned rate for questionnaires was 383 (95.75%). Frequency, percentage, mean, t-test, one-way analysis of variance, and Scheffe method were used for analyses. The level of significance was set at .05. The findings of this study indicated that faculty members with high ages, high work, experiences, high salaries, high academic ranks, high levels of education, and high administrative positions were more satisfied with their jobs than faculty members with lower rankings in these demographic variables. Male faculty members were more satisfied than female faculty members. The results of this research were similar to Vatthaisong's and different from Karoonlanjakorn's. The faculty members of Vatthaisong's inquiry and those of the present study were satisfied with their jobs in every facet except salary, while Karoonlanjakorn's findings reported that no areas of dissatisfaction were revealed. Because the factors described in Herzberg's theory were not the same as those determined in this study, Herzberg's two-factor theory may not be suitable for use with Thai faculty members in Thailand.

Bachelor thesis by the school of business and economics at the Linnaeus University in Växjö, Enterprising and business development 2EB00E, spring 2010. Authors: Ida Göransson and Samantha Winter-Hall Tutor: Magnus Forslund Title: Scandinavian management – a minor field study in Bangkok, Thailand. Background: Asia is a region that is developing rapidly. More and more companies are moving there or build a subsidiary. To be able to do this successfully the companies need to accept and comprehend the different cultures. This thesis focuses on Scandinavian companies in Bangkok Thailand and how the Scandinavian management has influenced Thailand. Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to increase the understanding of how the Scandinavian management influences Thailand. Delimitations: We will conduct this study thoroughly in Bangkok at SAS Southeast Asia office. We have focused only on SAS Southeast Asia head office in Bangkok because it gives us the opportunity to “dig deeper” and explore the different management styles. Method: This is a research with qualitative interviews and formal- and informal observations. Our study has an abductive approach and the interviewees were chosen through convenience- and snowball sampling. The theoretical framework is about; management, culture, Thai culture and Scandinavian management. Result: The thesis will result in this conclusion; ”The Thai managers have been influenced in a way that has made them more independent and questioning. They are not afraid of speaking their mind and have learnt to adapt their way of managing according to the surroundings. They accept the new inputs from the Scandinavian management style that they believe works and improve their own management styles. When the Thai employees are amongst Scandinavians they know how to act and adapt and when they are together with Thai employees that are very Thai and can not change who they are, they can just accept the other management styles and use what they can to improve their own styles because by understanding your own culture makes it easier to understand others, Abramson and Keating (2009)” Enjoy your reading!

Abstract Title: Services Marketing Mix of Foreign Coffee Franchiser in Bangkok Program: International Marketing Authors: Miss Warangkana Kombenjamas (19801029) Miss Nuchanart Lertrattananon (19870818) Supervisor: Jean-Charles Languilaire Examiner: Ole Liljefors Final Seminar: 30/5/2011 Research Question: How services marketing mix of Foreign Coffee Franchisers in Bangkok and demographic factors affect consumer behaviors? Purpose: To explore the components of services marketing mix and demographic factors that has an impact on consumer behaviors. Method: This study is mainly grounded on quantitative method using questionnaire The data collection was come from primary data (questionnaire) and secondary data (books, journals, and internet website). SPSS software and Microsoft Office Excel is used as analysis tools. Conclusion: We can conclude that both demographic factors and components of services marketing mix affect consumer behaviors. Demographic factors; age gender and income affect consumer behaviors for example income level affects the frequency of visit coffee shop that people who have higher level of income tend to visit coffee shop more frequent than those who have lower level of income. All components of services marketing mix; product, price, place, promotion, physical evidence, people and process affect some of the consumer behavior pattern. The taste criterion of product and the standardize taste criterion of process are concerned most importance by consumers who visit a coffee shop more frequent while the promotion has the least impact on the frequency of visiting a coffee shop.

Archer, Diane. "Social capital and participatory slum upgrading in Bangkok, Thailand." Thesis, University of Cambridge, 2010. https://www.repository.cam.ac.uk/handle/1810/244821.
Full textAbstract:
This study applies the concept of social capital to participatory slum upgrading, specifically the Baan Mankong (“secure housing”) programme in Bangkok. The Baan Mankong programme uses community participation to meet the housing needs of the urban poor, with financial assistance from the state. Since starting in 2003, the programme has drawn international praise, and is being scaled-up nationally, yet few studies have examined its social and institutional outcomes, focusing rather on the physical outputs. This study tries to fill this gap: as a programme that aims to be about “more than just houses”, attention needs to be paid to its impacts on both horizontal and vertical associations to determine whether it really offers an increased role for the urban poor in governance. A qualitative approach was taken, using semi-structured interviews, participant observation and discussion groups in four case-study communities. The analysis is structured on three levels: intra-community ties, inter-community ties, and state-community linkages, representing bonding, bridging and linking social capital respectively. At the level of intra-community relations, the study finds that upgrading had positive but temporary effects on collective action. Community leadership can be a uniting or dividing force, determining whether collective activities are sustained. Slum networks, representing inter-community relations, are essential for scaling-up upgrading through learning-by-doing. There is scope for cooperation between different networks for unity in negotiations with the state. With regard to community-state linkages, bureaucracy can still be a barrier to effective cooperation, and trust in officials remains low. This study focuses on those at the core of the upgrading process, and offers suggestions for ensuring that collective action provides the best results for both the urban poor and the state. Social capital is a valuable resource for the poor, when the formation of horizontal and vertical associations is actively promoted. As participatory development becomes the new paradigm and the poor increasingly take the initiative in ensuring their needs are met, a fuller understanding of Thailand’s experiences can help shape housing and community development policies elsewhere.

Full textAbstract:
Reducing disaster risk, managing rapid urbanisation and tackling poverty is an enormous challenge, particularly in vulnerable neighbourhoods in low and middle-income countries. By 2050, two-thirds of the world’s population will live in towns and cities, with 95 per cent of future urban expansion in the global South. At the same time, disasters are increasing in frequency, severity and intensity. Poorer people in vulnerable neighbourhoods are least equipped to cope with the threat of disaster. When flooding struck Thailand’s capital city Bangkok in 2011, the United Nations estimated that 73 per cent of low-income households were badly affected (UNISDR 2013). With disasters in cities on the rise, current thinking suggests that resilience offers valuable insights for reducing risk. This research seeks to develop and validate a conceptual framework for understanding urban disaster resilience in low-income neighbourhoods. It combines two urban approaches. The first, complex adaptive systems (CAS), views the city as a combination of inter-dependent parts working together at a multitude of scales that shapes its overall behaviour. The second, urban morphology, seeks to understand the creation of urban form by establishing connections between the city’s historical economic, political and social transformations to its modern day form. The conceptual framework was applied to three low-income neighbourhoods in Bangkok affected by the 2011 flood. Through a case study approach, qualitative information was gathered and analysed in order to understand city-scale and neighbourhood level transformations that built patterns of vulnerability and resilience to chronic stresses and acute shocks. This research concludes that combining CAS and morphology provides a valuable conceptual framework for understanding urban disaster resilience. Such a framework places people at the centre while providing a scalar and temporal analysis of co-evolving acute and chronic risks in urban areas. Moreover, the intersections of CAS and urban morphology identify dimensions of resilience, where human systems and the built environment affect each other in a positive or negative ways – before, during and after a disaster. Overall, this research concludes that resilience needs to be built both before and after a disaster to be effective, and that disaster itself is a test of how systems and the built environment have learned from history about how to cope with and adapt to shocks and stresses. To these ends, urban disaster resilience can be defined as the ways in which the built environment, complex adaptive systems and people interact to cope, adapt and transform in order to reduce disaster risk.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis challenges the dominant approach to examining flooding through a case study of the 2011 Bangkok floods. The alternative approach developed here views floods not only as outcomes of biophysical processes but also as products of political decisions, economic interests, and power relations. This approach illustrates how vulnerability to floods, which is a combination of exposure to floods and capacity to cope with them, and the extent to which floods are a disaster, are uneven at multiple scales across geographical and social landscapes. Using a mixture of quantitative and qualitative methods, the thesis investigates how state actors and socioeconomic processes affect the production of vulnerability to flooding. The study addresses theoretical and empirical gaps in earlier studies through its multi-temporal and multi-scalar approach to a major disaster. Little research in Southeast Asia, and thus in Thailand, analyses disasters from an in-depth urban political ecology (UPE) perspective before, during, and after the event. This thesis argues that floods in Bangkok are the result of human-nature interactions over time, particularly over the last half-century. While the Chao Phraya River Basin received heavy rainfall in 2011, a number of human activities interacted with that rainfall to create the floods. Bangkok’s dense urbanisation heightened resident's collective exposure while the pattern of urbanisation caused vulnerability to floods to become more imbalanced both spatially and socioeconomically. The historical development of the water system of the basin reflected primarily the interests of elites, which further heightened the collective vulnerability to flooding of those living in Bangkok. During the floods, both politicians and bureaucrats made decisions on how dams and water gates were managed to protect the interests of farmers. These varied decisions caused more water to flow downstream. Fragmentation and conflicting interests among state actors, patronage incentives, and technical weaknesses enervated the state’s response. Once the water reached Bangkok, state actors undertook various actions, such as closing water gates, erecting temporary dykes, and diverting water, which created new inequalities in terms of those who were exposed. Reflecting Bangkok’s socioeconomic and political inequalities, communities in the peri-urban fringes, particularly slum communities, were heavily inundated. These communities experienced the highest flood levels and for the longest duration, whereas the inner city of Bangkok was protected and remained dry. During the floods, many local leaders and residents collectively challenged these injustices by various forms of protest, somewhat reshaping the spatiality of the floods and reducing their vulnerability. Subsequent to the floods, for the most part, state agencies have not addressed underlying drivers of vulnerability to floods. Due to unchanging power geometries, state responses merely reproduced the proposed solutions and associated economic and environmental injustices of the past, while also creating new patterns of uneven exposure. Overall, placing the role of the state as central in it analysis, the UPE analysis made in this thesis provides a nuanced understanding of how state actors together with unequal socioeconomic processes have mostly reinforced each other and have created uneven and unjust vulnerabilities to flooding across several spatial and temporal scales.

seven layers: Weathered Crust and Backfill Material; Very Soft to Soft Bangkok Clay;
Medium Stiff Clay; Stiff to Hard Clay; Medium Dense to Very Dense Sand; Very Stiff to

The strength and deformation characteristics of the Bangkok subsoils are determined from
laboratory tests (mainly oedometer and triaxial tests) and in-situ field tests (such as vane tests
and pressuremeter tests). Additionally, the small strain behaviour is also investigated using
Bender element tests in the laboratory and cross hole seismic tests in the field. The soil
parameters needed for the deformation analyses are determined for the Mohr Coulomb

Full textAbstract:
Bangkok's extreme traffic problems have been traditionally explained in terms of a lack
of road infrastructure and policy responses for many years have almost exclusively
stressed road investment to the exclusion of all other forms of transport infrastructure
development. This thesis questions this interpretation of the traffic problem and its
chief policy response: building still more roads. It suggests that in order to effectively
analyse Bangkok's traffic predicament and to formulate more sustainable responses to
the crisis, an understanding is required of Bangkok's land use and transport
development, as well as a systematic and detailed perspective on the similarities and
differences between Bangkok and many other cities around the world, particularly
those in Asia.
This thesis suggests that Bangkok has passed through three key periods: a water-based
transport and walking period, a transport modernisation period and a motorisation
period. In each period up to motorisation Bangkok appeared to maintain a harmonious
relationship between its high density, mixed use urban form, ideally suited to nonmotorised
modes and to public transport. Even in the motorisation period, high
density, mixed use development has mostly followed major road corridors and
remains well-suited to much higher public transport and non-motorised mode use than
currently exist. However, in this period, rapidly rising motor vehicle ownership and use
began to come into conflict with the city's pre-automobile form. Road infrastructure
could not be built fast enough to keep pace with traffic growth, despite almost
exclusive commitment of resources to roads. High capacity public transport systems,
including rail, renewed water transport and busways failed to materialise to help curb
the motorisation process and to provide much needed relief on the roads. A basic
conflict or mismatch between urban form and transport began to emerge, leaving the
city ill-equipped to cope with the automobile and subject to large environmental, social
and economic impacts from congestion.
The thesis argues that while Bangkok's per capita road supply is low in an
international sense, it is not atypical for an Asian city and road availability per hectare
is similar to many other cities around the world. Likewise, common arguments about
an inadequate road hierarchy are systematically analysed and are shown to be
insufficient in explaining Bangkok's present crisis. The thesis thus suggests that
attempting to tackle the traffic problem through an intensification of road building
efforts will not provide the relief sought, but will only exacerbate the traffic impacts
which are shown to be already at the limits of international experience.
The international comparison of Bangkok with other cities, highlighting basic
similarities and differences in land use and transport features, continues to build upon
this argument. It shows that Bangkok lies at one extreme in many transport
characteristics such as the amount of travel per hectare, and within the Asian cities, it
is very high in vehicle ownership and use and energy use, comparatively low in public
transport use and very low in non-motorised modes. The thesis suggests that in
physical planning terms, Bangkok's traffic crisis appears to stem from a set of
mismatches between its transport patterns, urban form and transport infrastructure.
These mismatches are between: (1) vehicle use and urban form: higher levels of private
vehicle use than can be properly accommodated in its dense, tightly woven urban
fabric; (2) vehicle use and road supply: levels of private vehicle use which are
incompatible with its road availability and which are uncharacteristically high
compared to other Asian cities; (3) transit use, urban form and road supply: lower
levels of overall transit use than would be expected in a city of its urban form and road
availability; (4) transit infrastructure, urban form and road supply: a public transport
infrastructure which is inadequate to meet the demands for transit movement inherent
in such a dense city, particularly a lack of rail infrastructure; (5) non-motorised modes
and urban form: levels of non-motorised mode use which are uncharacteristically low
for such a dense, mixed use urban fabric. These mismatches are mainly the consequence
of a long series of inappropriate and ineffective transport policies and investments
which are biased towards private transport and which have at least in part arisen
from narrow and outdated transport planning processes.
In order for transport planning in Bangkok to address the suggested roots of the crisis,
the thesis contends that at least two key constraints would have to be dealt with: the
traditional urban transport planning process and the institutional fragmentation in
transport policy and implementation. Notwithstanding, there are forces pushing in the
direction of change and these are examined in terms of the growing global and local
trends towards sustainability, community outrage over traffic and the role of NGOs.
Based on these findings, this thesis provides a case for a series of policies to help deal
with Bangkok's traffic disaster. In line with global trends towards sustainability as an
organising principle for urban policy development, these policies are offered within a
framework of developing a more sustainable transport system in Bangkok. The policies
suggested cover priority to public transport infrastructure development, transitoriented,
mixed land use development, transport demand management, improvement
of waterway transportation, facilitation of walking and cycling and institutional
reform of Bangkok's transport decision making structure. Opportunities for further
complementary research are suggested.

Full textAbstract:
Titel: Patientmiljön på två somatiska vårdavdelningar i Bangkok, Thailand Bakgrund: Miljö ur ett hälsoperspektiv omfattar den fysiska, kulturella och psykosociala aspekten av omvårdnad. Miljön på en vårdavdelning kan både främja hälsa och ha en ogynnsam verkan. Omvårdnad är ett universellt fenomen men kulturen formar människans syn på hälsa och även hur hälsa kan uppnås. Sjukvården i Thailand präglas av buddhismen. Syfte: Beskriva miljön kring patienter på två somatiska vårdavdelningar i Bangkok. Design: Studien har inspirerats av etnografisk metod. Data insamlades genom observationer, utförda under tio arbetspass, nedtecknades i loggböcker för att därefter bearbetas med kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Resultat: Två teman formades: Dagliga rutiner och patientens omgivning med kategorierna rang/attityd, omvårdnad, miljö/aktivitet och ljud/lukt. Första temat beskriver vardagen för patienter och vårdpersonalen samt vilka omvårdnadsmetoder som användes. Det andra temat beskriver miljön och pågående aktiviteter. Slutsats: Den svenska kulturen och den thailändska kulturen skiljer sig vilket påverkar hur vi från den svenska kulturen observerade miljön kring patienterna i Thailand. Den thailändska kulturen speglas i patientmiljön på avdelningarna; det råder en stark hierarki bland vårdpersonalen och det utförs många rutinmässiga omvårdnadsåtgärder. Patienterna är omgivna av mycket personal som orsakar rörelse och ljud i patientsalen, men skapar också trygghet i form av att ha nära kontakt till patienten.Title: Patient environment in two somatic wards in Bangkok, Thailand Background: Environment from a health perspective includes the physical, cultural and psychosocial aspects of nursing. The environment in a ward can both promote health and have an adverse effect. Nursing is a universal phenomenon, but culture shapes people's views on health and also how health can be achieved. Medical care in Thailand is characterized by Buddhism. Aim: Describe the environment around the patients in two somatic wards in Bangkok. Design: The study was inspired by ethnographic method. Data were collected through observations, conducted over ten sessions, was recorded in logbooks and then processed by content analysis. Results: Two themes were formed: Daily routines and Patient environment, with the categories rank/attitude, care, environment/activity and sound/smell. First theme describes daily lives for patients and caregivers and the nursing methods used. Second theme describes the environment and activities. Conclusion: The Swedish culture and the Thai culture are very different, which affects how we from the Swedish culture observed the environment around the patients in Thailand. The Thai culture is reflected in the patient environment at the wards; there is a strong hierarchy among health professionals and many routine nursing activities are performed. Patients are surrounded by staff members that cause movement and sound in the patient room, but also create security by having a close contact to the patient.

Sociala omgivningsfaktorer ingår i Socialkognitiv teori (SCT) som beskriver interaktionen mellan individ, beteende och omgivning. Syfte: Att undersöka hur sjukgymnaster på en klinik i Bangkok, Thailand, uppfattade och beaktade sociala omgivningsfaktorer vid undersökning, analys och behandling av patienters problem. Metod: Studien var en kvalitativ tvärsnittsstudie med deskriptiv design. Ett bekvämlighetsurval om fem informanter och semistrukturerade intervjuer användes. Databearbetningen utfördes med en kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Utifrån transkriberingarna togs meningsbärande enheter fram som utvecklades till koder och delades in i kategorier. Resultat: Under intervjuerna berättade informanterna hur de använde sig av kunskapen om sociala omgivningsfaktorer i undersökning, analys och behandling av patienters problem. De faktorer som främst togs upp var familjens, arbetets och ekonomins betydelse. Informanterna visade en osäkerhet gällande begreppet sociala omgivningsfaktorer, men det framkom att de hade en uppfattning kring vad begreppet kunde innebära. Slutsats: Resultatet visade på att informanterna tog viss hänsyn till sociala omgivningsfaktorers betydelse i det sjukgymnastiska arbetet med patienter. Informanternas uppfattning av betydelsen av sociala omgivningsfaktorer kunde kopplas till begrepp inom SCT.

Full textAbstract:
The study presents a new form of pilgrimage introduced by Thai authorities and involving visiting to nine temples (Wai Phra Kao Wat) in Bangkok. I will focus on four main aspects of this phenomenon. Firstly, the study will describe the dynamic application of the practice (Wai Phra Kao Wat) including the forms of devotion, the designation of temples by authorities, the pilgrims’ experience, and the role played by local ‘communities’ (chumchon). Secondly, the study will consider this pilgrimage as a case study with which to explore how Thai cultural phenomena provide multiple avenues for Thai people to reflect on their perception of the relation between Buddhism (Theravada Buddhism in particular) and the state. Thirdly, the study explores the contribution of ‘new’ performances of religiosity in popular Buddhism into shaping modern economy and rhetorical politics. Lastly, the study will provide the significance of Wai Phra Kao Wat that could shed light on important contemporary Thai cultural phenomena such as the emergence of ‘pilgrimage tourism’ on socio-cultural and economic changes and the relationship between ritual practice and Thai citizenship. The ethnographic methods including participant observation and interviewing are mainly employed throughout the fieldwork. I conclude that Buddhism in contemporary Thailand becomes an instrument to negotiate identities and meanings at the level of governance. Wai Phra Kao Wat, a state-oriented campaign, has been then utilised to enhance Thai capital’s venture into the global economy as well as to establish regime legitimacy with the inculcation of nation, religion, and monarchy.

Managing the impacts of climate change is no longer a concern of the future, but a significant reality of the present. Preparing for, and mitigating extreme weather events and adapting to the gradual shift in climatic trends are pressing concerns, especially for local governments of coastal megacities in Asia. Planning for disaster and climate change is a fundamental city function, and there is an urgent need for cities to enhance their disaster management systems to be "climate-smart," or more adaptive and resilient to climate change. In this study, I examine how two coastal megacities in Asia, Bangkok and Tokyo, are currently dealing with the changing climate and weather patterns, and what factors shape these responses. My findings show that, despite their significant differences in socioeconomic conditions, Bangkok and Tokyo's flood management efforts are very similar in terms of what they are managing and how they are managing it. Furthermore, whether a city is developed or developing may not necessarily influence existing capacities for flood management or what their climate-adapted systems may look like. However, Bangkok and Tokyo have distinct perceptions as to what their challenges and priorities are for future flood management. In the case of Bangkok, the non-climatic issues of improving urban planning and watershed management need to be tackled simultaneously with dealing with the potential impacts of climate change. For Tokyo, because they already have established urban planning and watershed management systems, figuring out how to manage future climate risks and to create a methodology to deal with uncertainty within long-term planning are the key challenges. Through this study, I argue that, in order to better integrate climate change adaptation efforts within disaster and flood management, it is important to closely examine how cities are already managing climate vulnerability and change, what factors shape their approach, and how climate change adaptation can fit within their actions and perceptions towards future planning. Given the recent Great East Japan Earthquake and other natural disasters, asking the question of what cities are adapting to, and why they are adapting could be the effective, first steps for enabling cities to become climate-smart.
