博士 / 國立屏東科技大學 / 熱帶農業暨國際合作系 / 102 / Koh Phangan is an island in the gulf of Thailand in Suratthani Province, Southern Thailand. This island is one of the popular visitor attractions that generate many revenues for Suratthani Province. But coastal recreation areas in this island have been rapidly changed due to the impacts of natural disasters and tourism industry development especially for the Baan Haad Rin Community (BHRC) that located at Baan Tai Municipality-the major tourist destination of Koh Phangan Island. Hence, the purposes of this study focused on the “sustainable development of coastal recreation areas” at BHRC that included: investigate the tourism impacts on the coastal recreation areas; analyze and identify the key sustainability indicators; evaluate and create the indicators of sustainable coastal development; and propose the action plans and design guidelines for sustainable development in coastal recreation areas.
First, the literature review and field survey showed that most local people mentioned on the physical-environmental, socio-cultural, and political-economic impacts of BHRC. Second, 33 from 49 key sustainability indicators were identified by the 40 experts for the sustainable coastal development of BHRC. Thirdly, the analytic hierarchy process was used to evaluate the 33 key sustainability indicators by those experts again, and it revealed that the weight of solid waste pollution on the physical-environmental sustainability dimension was the highest one that acted as a significant indicator in this dimension. Fourthly, 1,351 respondents were interviewed to analyze the questionnaire data. Most of respondents concerned the negative impacts of the socio-cultural, political-economic, and physical-environmental dimensions at BHRC. Fifthly, the action plans of sustainable coastal development were proposed by the researcher based on the negative and positive impacts of each dimension and literature review. The principles for livable communities were integrated with the results of key sustainability indicators by the researcher to design the conceptual action plan for sustainable coastal development, which also provided the design guidelines for the sustainable development model of BHRC and the specific coastal recreation areas such as the Haad Rin Nok Waterfront.
At last, the results of this study can be expected to provide the useful action plans of sustainable coastal development and design guidelines of specific coastal recreation areas for the government and community.
