Abstract
The objectives of this research article are as follows: 1) to study land use regulations with respect to environmental management under the Bangkok Comprehensive Plan of 2013, and 2) to study people’s opinions about environmental management policies stipulated in the Bangkok Comprehensive Plan of 2013. Results from analysis of the main points in the comprehensive plan and a questionnaire show that although some aspects of the plan promote economic development in the Bangkok’s central business district, the environmental management regulations concerning this area are only stated in the land use zoning plan, the open space plan, the transportation plan, and the public utility plan. Consequently, the people surveyed were found to be most satisfied with the flood and water management strategy. However, more than 70% of respondents did not know about the biotope area factor (BAF) and floor area ratio bonus (FAR Bonus). This could be due to the plan not being achieved in practice. Guidelines for preparations for the Bangkok Comprehensive Plan in the future, besides having more strict penalties and incentives, as some have recommended, should include, people affected being informed about urban planning measures in an extensive and simple way.
