DEVELOPMENT OFA LEARNING CITY MODEL: A CASE STUDY OF SUB-DISTRICT ADMINISTRATIVE ORGANIZATIONS IN CHONBURI PROVINCE

Abstract

Recent years have brought about important changes in the way of life of the people in the cities and in the villages in Thailand. Migration has resulted in new types of communities. Democratization has brought about greater participation of people in decision-making procedures. The government has been reforming structures in the form of administrative units. The present study, following the learning city model of the United Kingdom, examines how this approach can be adapted to the Thai situation.
