| Popis: | Since 1987, the Thai government has recognized and begun adopting a new approach of developmentby slowly shifting focus away from a growth orientation approach to a balanced socio-economic developmentapproach as mentioned in the Eighth National Economic and Social Development Plan (1997-2001) aimingto improve the well-being of all people in the Thai society. Though the idea has been limited to development at the regional level at the beginning, thegovernment has latterly realized an importance of development at the local level with respect to thepotentials, preferences, and functions of the area. As a case study, this study, therefore, aims to investigate and evaluate socio-economic impactspotentially created to the local communities with regard to the required additional infrastructure investmentto support tourism development of Sukhothai Historical Park and the associated historical towns by thetwo alternatives, i.e. to develop Phitsanulok-the so-called regional-oriented development approach and todevelop Sukhothai-the so-called local-oriented development approach, based on development objectives ofthe present development plans and policies using a scientific method. |
