The IPCC-AR6 integrates factors of developments in the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) process. It includes the Kyoto Protocol and the Paris Agreement, and the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development including the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This paper reviews the urban system and its pathways in transition to the net zero emissions. The key messages of urban mitigation in the IPCC-AR6 are presented. It is found that the urban green and blue infrastructure can contribute to climate resilience through carbon sequestration, emissions reduction, and energy and material efficiency. It also contributes multiple co-benefits. To achieve urban transformational changes, it requires climate finance and engagement of multiple scales of governance. This includes governments and non-state actors. A knowledge gap to achieve net-zero-emissions cities is highlighted, and a case study of climate resilient development in Thailand’s building sectors towards a low carbon society is discussed.

Authors:Thaned Heyprakhon Pages: 251186 - 251186 Abstract: The study sought to analyze the impact of Vernacular Homestay on tourists by evaluating their perceptions of value and the distinctive attributes of this lodging arrangement. The above was done by creating measurement models to assess tourists' perception of value. The Sinisian village in Kundasang has been selected as Malaysia's official model for vernacular homestays. The study examined 316 samples of individuals who resided in homestay accommodations. The measuring model of tourists' value perception was validated through the use of exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The findings indicated that the most prominent characteristics, ranked in decreasing order of importance, were accommodation, interactions between hosts and guests, promotional strategies in marketing, aspects related to society and the environment, various activities, and cultural traditions. Meanwhile, the latent variables demonstrate an internal composition defined by patterns and structures that closely resemble the reported attributes of the variable. To summarize, standardized vernacular homestays in Malaysia should strive to achieve a harmonic balance between convenience and cultural authenticity to enhance the overall experience. It is crucial to highlight the significance of reflecting vernacular architecture, providing essential amenities, maintaining the original local identity, developing effective communication and safety regulations, employing distinctive marketing strategies, prioritizing sustainability, offering various activities, and demonstrating respect for local customs. Collectively, these characteristics augment the perceived worth of tourists. PubDate: 2024-02-22 DOI: 10.56261/built.v22.251186 Issue No:Vol. 22, No. 1 (2024)
Authors:Jureepon Lueakha, Pataravadee Tongngam Pages: 253010 - 253010 Abstract: Although local intellectual property products have received support from both the government and private sectors, including increasing consumer interest in craft products, the residents of the Muang Kung community, Chiang Mai province, who produce handmade clay pottery with unique and distinctive shaping techniques and intricate patterns, still lack a market space to accommodate their products. Therefore, it is necessary to study the sustainable market format to help promote community products appropriately and stimulate tourism in this area. This research aims to achieve the following objectives (1) Study sustainable market pattern design principles suitable for community markets (2) Explore the potential capabilities and the local community’s requirements in market (3) Propose sustainable market design guideline to promote community products. This research primarily explores the sustainability value of a sustainable market within the field of retail design, employing qualitative research methods such as interviews, observational note-taking, photography, and comparative case study analysis. The on-site survey to determine the project's feasibility involved convening a community meeting with 50 residents to discuss findings. The outcomes of this gathering were then used in designing the temporary market. The findings present design guidelines that illustrate how markets continue to play important socio-economic roles in local communities, serving as key components that can be transformed to promote sustainable development. The proposed design practice guidelines encompass considerations such as site layout, the application of sustainable design principles, including the thoughtful selection of sustainable materials, the incorporation of flexible design, and the creation of participatory area experiences to attract people.
