| Popis: | In 2011, UNESCO issued recommendations urging cities, especially those rich in historical significance, to strike a balance between preservation and growth. The goal was to better cater to the needs of present-day residents and improve their quality of life through a focus on people-centered development. This study examines informal settlements along the Mae Kha Canal in Chiang Mai, a locality adjacent to the city’s historical elements. The present study aims to formulate strategies for upgrading housing, examining the case of Kampaeng Ngam as a pilot community. The investigation is aligned with the city’s current agenda, aiming to gather insights from inhabitants for future improvement. A field study began with structured observation, followed by an investigation of sample housing and in-depth interviews with the householders. The results are presented in three facets: (1) current physical existence, (2) resident background, and (3) dwelling characteristics of the community. The influence of resident-related aspects on housing attributes is then discussed. The findings reveal that previous plans by local authorities to relocate households into one-size-fits-all family housing failed to meet the diverse living conditions of the residents. Consequently, this article concludes with alternative suggestions for the upcoming Kampaeng Ngam Housing Upgrade project. |
