The Four Knowledges of Sustainable Management: A Developing Tool to Allow Act...Silpakorn University
The concept of sustainable tourism has little practical application in the real world even now. In many tourism destinations worldwide including Thailand, the sustainable tourism is just an advertising tool representing the criticism of the impact of tourism while closing eyes to the same manners as before. A cooperation of sustainable tourism development remains unclear and its implementation in practice still faces troublesome times, leaving much of the tourism industry running into unsustainable for the status quo. Some tourism destinations might inaccurately promote themselves as sustainable and increase the expectations of new tourists who are later burdened with the gap between the actual and promised sustainability. In addition, several tourism stakeholders have been adopting sustainability practices into the industry but still at a slow pace because of the lack of the appropriate developing tools, particularly in order to understand, assess, and monitor the processes of planning and implementing sustainability with a full responsibility at their tourism destinations.
Four knowledges of sustainable management is a developing tool for tourism stakeholders to allow actual understanding and implementation of the tailor-made sustainable tourism in their responsible tourism destinations. The framework of the four knowledges of sustainable management is fundamentally adapted from the concept of cultural landscape management by defining as the management of cultural properties representing the combined works of nature and man with evolution of human society and settlement over time under the influence of the physical constraints presented by their natural environment, social, economic, and cultural forces. The framework is also based on the concept of systems thinking, referring to the process of understanding how those things which may be regarded as systems influence one another within a complete entity, or larger system. In reality, complex interplay of the social, cultural and environmental dimensions of sustainable tourism requires a broad understanding and acceptance from different stakeholders, working directly and indirectly in the tourism destinations, more or less as the communities. A challenge of establishing a tailor-made sustainable tourism that is acceptable to all stakeholders is to balance the demands of all stakeholders with eco-conscious and socio-conscious responsibilities. The four knowledges of sustainable management will assist these stakeholders to achieve that kind of balance in practice through the mutual knowledges of community identity, community heritage, community problem, and community future.
Supercluster .. The Global Meaning (Comparing with Thailand's Meaning) Silpakorn University
Supercluster .. the global meaning when comparing with Thailand's meaning.
At the beginning with Silicon Valley as the first-ever supercluster for high-tech industry and relevant association in the 20th century, its learning curve has philosophically provided everyone that we are moving from the world in which the big eat the small to one in which the fast eat the slow. However, while learning from Japan's supercluster, it have been discovered that Japanese people are very keen in what they are and what they would do to enhance their competitive advantage of the nation in the 21st century, particularly with a new concept of the better, the faster. Many environmental friendly projects, such as e-car initiative, have been established and super-clustered their capable networks together for the best efficiency. The aim is to think and do green by launching only better eco-products/eco-services to the global market while promoting slow movement and slow value in the territory. Are those Thailand's competitiveness ? If not, can we follow what we are instead ? Tailor-Made Supercluster would be the best solution. A challenge of establishing a tailor-made supercluster that is acceptable to all stakeholders in the involving areas is to balance the demands of all stakeholders with eco-conscious and socio-conscious responsibilities. By understanding "Four Knowledges of Sustainable Management" would assist these stakeholders to achieve that kind of balance in practice, precisely through the mutual knowledges of community identity, community heritage, community problem, and community future.

53. คาสาคัญเพื่อบ่งบอกคุณค่าโดยรวมของ
เส้นทางจาริกแสวงบุญคาทอลิกในประเทศไทย
• The pilgrimage routes of the French Catholic mission in Thailand are the
remaining routes of the fundamental Catholic communities in the country
contributed by mosaics of the missionary travails in the past accompanied by the
different ethnic groups, who have overtime learned to co-exist spiritually under
Catholicism, with mutual dependencies of rich history, spirit, culture, and ways of
living on their own, keeping from Ayutthaya, Thonburi, and early Bangkok periods,
and still standing to continue their existence nowadays
• เส้นทางจาริกแสวงบุญนี้เป็นเส้นทางวัฒนธรรมที่ยังคงเหลือร่องรอยทางประวัติศาสตร์และสังคมของ
ชุมชนคาทอลิกในประเทศไทยที่ยังมีหลักฐานความต่อเนื่องของวิถีชุมชนคาทอลิกที่ชัดเจนที่สุด ซึ่งประกอบ
ไปด้วยความหลากหลายทางวัฒนธรรมที่ร้อยเรียงเรื่องราวที่ผูกพันและกลมกลืนเสมือนมัดเชือกเดียวกัน
ของเหล่านักบวชและสาวกชาติพันธุ์กลุ่มต่างๆที่ได้ผ่านการเรียนรู้ดารงอยู่ร่วมกันมาด้วยจิตวิญญาณอัน
แรงกล้าภายใต้คาสอนในวิถีคาทอลิก ซึ่งเต็มไปด้วยเรื่องราวที่มีค่าร่วมกันและพึ่งพิงกันทางประวัติศาสตร์
จิตวิญญาณการต่อสู้ วัฒนธรรม และ วิถีชีวิตทางสังคมของพวกเขา สืบสานต่อเนื่องกันมาตั้งแต่ยุคทอง
ของอยุธยา ผ่านมายังสมัยธนบุรีและกรุงรัตนโกสินทร์ตอนต้น และยังคงดาเนินต่อไปจนถึงปัจจุบันนี้โดยที่
คุณค่าโดยรวมของชุมชนเหล่านี้ได้ถูกส่งผ่านจากรุ่นสู่รุ่นและไม่เคยจางหายไปตามกระแสวัฒนธรรมที่
เปลี่ยนแปลงไป
