Daily life space of a local neighbourhood in the old city of Chiang Mai
Keywords:
daily life space, local neighbourhood, old city, Chiang MaiAbstract
A neighbourhood is important in terms of a sense of belonging leading to the development of that neighbourhood and the city as a whole. With its long history, the old Chiang Mai city wall has a number of local neighbourhoods facing problems of losing their significance to the development of tourism recently. This research focuses on daily life space of Wat Lam Chang neighbourhood within the old Chiang Mai city wall, through tracing the use of public spaces by different groups of people within the neighbourhood throughout the days. It brings social interaction among groups people, as well as the characters of a place into light. These understandings are important tools to create a place for all within the old city. Maintaining the life and social relations of the local neighbourhoods within the old city wall are ones of the major factors to sustain the character of the cultural heritage to pass to the next generation.
