| dc.description.abstract | Eco Industrial Town (EIT) is one of important development policies of Thailand. An overlying goal of the operations under the EIT policy is to pave the way to create a happy industrial society. Indicators are primarily tool used for measuring the progress of EIT implementation in Thailand. Due to the weaknesses of the available indicators, together with challenges from emerging sustainability concepts and trends, the EIT framework and relevant indicators need to be further revisited and developed to be able to cope with the threats and challenges. Objectives of the research are: 1) to study the framework of the eco industrial town and its indicators in the Thailand context, 2) to develop the framework of eco industrial town and the appropriate indicators in the Thailand context primarily based on perspectives of the physical, the economy, the environmental, the social, the management, and others, 3) to confirm the suitability of framework of eco industrial town and the appropriate indicators in the Thailand context primarily based on perspectives of the physical, the economy, the environmental, the social, the management and others. Methodology used in the research comprised of 1) the documentary research on ground concepts of relevant concepts -- sustainable development, related current trends and movements that challenge to the EIT implementation in Thailand, 2) extensive feedback of the 30 experts in the field of eco industrial town and indicator development, and 3) feedback of the 62 relevant stakeholders to the EIT implementation. The research results provide a new framework which the continuous development perspective was added to the first five perspectives, 13 dimensions, 18 indicators are added to the existing framework of EIT of Thailand. The documentary research provide a new perspective (continuous development perspective) to the first five perspectives, then totally 33 dimensions, and 59 indicators were constructed consecutively. The extensive feedback of the 30 experts in the field of eco industrial town and indicator development were obtained from 2 rounds of questionnaire submitted to them. The experts' feedback are inputs for revising the EIT framework and its indicators. The final stage are asking for feedback from 62 relevant stakeholders of the EIT implementation in the target EITs of Thailand that used for revising of the EIT framework and its indicators. The final version of EIT framework and its indicators consists of 6 perspectives, 32 dimensions and 59 indicators. Therefore, the final version of EIT framework and its indicators are appropriate for using to evaluate and measure progress of EIT implementation of each area of target EITs in Thailand to check whether how well they do against the required criteria of EIT. Key recommendations for policy makers and EIT implementers are 1) support annual budget, handbook of EIT implementation, and training regarding the required criteria of indicators to stakeholders of the EITs regularly and continually, 2) revise the EIT framework and its indicators to keep up with the situation of global trends, 3) communicate and stimulate stakeholders of the EIT, especially communities and manufacturing plants to fully understand and recognize the purposes of EIT implementation, benefits from implementing EIT, and well-being of residents after implementing and receiving registration from Department of Industrial Work. | th |
