Abstract:
This article describes a three-year process of local participation in the sustainable
housing design in Soi Wat Lung Ban Community, which was selected through a
participatory process. Adapting Hamdi’s (1996) Participatory Action Planning
(PAP) concepts, the research team collaborated with members of 14
communities and government agencies. This article is an evaluation of the
process to implement a model of architectural design for vernacular housing and
factors, which were obstacles to successful outcomes.
