Heritage City model aimed at World Heritage Site cities

The Heritage City model, which is a combination of knowledge and innovation, is being used to development historic areas with a goal of increasing the rate of tourism by more than 10% per year.

King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Ladkrabang, a network of 11 universities, Sukhothai Province and Kamphaeng Phet Province recently joined the network of the artistic and cultural practice. They are applying the “Heritage City” model to develop areas around the World Heritage Sites and old cities, Sukhothai, Si Satchanalai and Kamphaeng Phet, to become perfect World Heritage areas.

The work of the “Heritage City” model, a World Heritage city model, started with cities with a World Heritage Site that have the advantage of cultural capital, namely Sukhothai, Si Satchanalai and Kamphaeng Phet.

The development and integration work is being done in four respects: structural development, artistic, cultural and identity conservation, agricultural promotion and qualitative tourism promotion.

The project is open to local residents involvement in the development and application of suitable technology. It is also aimed at inducing growth in tourism while maintaining community identities and developing a safety application to maintain the city plan and safety systems.

If the project is accomplished, tourism and income will increase at a rate of not less than 10% per year, the present income from tourism locations being more than 4.5 billion baht.
