This thesis is about the concept of Sustainable Development and its application
in Thailand. Whilst many people and Thai Government itself accept the need for
sustainable development as an integral part of the country's future, there is no clear
consensus on what the application of sustainable development will actually mean for
Thailand.
Up until this point in time the most common referent for sustainable
development in Thailand has been the United Nations´ "Our Common Future" and
"Agenda 21". Even though this document contains many broad principles that are
applicable, there are significant differences in Thai context, which require alternatives
to be proposed.
Buddhism supplies a Thai point of departure for such an alternative. This thesis
purposes that the principle of Buddhism such as Arriyacca, Patticca-Samuppada, Tri-
Lakkha and etc. are entirely appropriate for application on the Thai socio-environment
development. This discussion is a key part of this thesis.
As a mean of verification and of applied example, the last section of the thesis
looks specifically at growth patterns of areas and spaces in "Central Academic Area"
(CAD) in the main campuses of regional public-universities of Thailand.
