This study Development of lower central provinces 2 as smart city tourism under the concept of BCG Economy aims to study guidelines for the development of lower central provinces 2 to be smart tourism cities under the concept of BCG Economy. The research employed a Mixed Methods Research.The quantitative research sample was 400 tourists who travel in lower central provinces 2 the research tools was a questionnaire with open-ended questions. the data is described by frequency percentage and standard deviation and qualitative research is 20 key informant the research tool was an open-ended questionnaire for in-depth interviews. Most participants were female 20-29 years old had obtained a bachelor degree employment monthly income in the range of 20001-30000 baht experience travel trip in lower central provinces 2 6 time or more spend 3001-4000 baht per trip 2 days per trip tourists travel for a vacation during the months of November to December. Suggestions for the development of lower central provinces 2 to be smart tourism cities under the concept of BCG Economy. 1.use appropriate technology for tourism 2.use technology that tourists can easily use 3.promote community tourism 4. create awareness among tourists to cherish tourism resources. 5. relevant agencies should work together. 6. there should be research studies and apply the research results correctly.

Accurate efficient and robust travel time prediction is crucial to the development of advanced traveler information systems for providing route guidance information. To achieve this goal this paper proposed a travel time prediction through the matching of the current speed interval pattern to that in a historical database. Speed intervals instead of speeds are considered in this study to simplify the structure of matching patterns for improving matching efficiency. In this study speed interval patterns are defined by sets of link speed intervals that are either spatially or temporarily correlated with the link considered. With the speed interval patterns the algorithm is developed for searching the historical pattern(s) that is/are the closest match with the current one. Then link speeds from these matched patterns are combined for travel time prediction. By using the GPS probe taxi data which the collected speeds are aggregated in every 5 minutes the proposed travel time prediction system is implemented in Bangkok. With the speed data from probe taxi this paper has chosen four links/paths with different geometric and flow characteristics for testing the performance of the proposed travel time prediction system. From these tests it is found that the optimal speed interval pattern should include: 1) speeds of the studied link within three preceding time intervals and; 2) speeds of links in the first connection level of the studied link. Also while the computational time is capable of real-time application the proposed prediction algorithm is more accurate under uninterrupted flow conditions.

This study aimed to examine the identity of the community towards sustainable tourism development and in order to set an appropriate management guideline in environment and energy conservation in Klongkone Community Mueng District Samutsongkhram Province. The data was collected using in-depth interview of Homestay owner Village Headman and government sector for 10 person. It was found that homestays do not have standard of homestay arrangements. Due to lack of knowledge of hotels and services and lack of policies to conserve the environment and energy in the homestay that is clearly visible. There is only behavior in saving of energy and reduction in energy consumption to reduce expenses incurred in business operations.

This research aims to enhance Nangleang Market as a top cultural tourist destination and to assist Nangleang Market to manage its cultural object into a sustainable way. Primary sources were from field work as data collecting interviewing 28 participants namely people responsible to Nangleang Market’s tourism management both government and private sectors people who buy food and things in the market seniors in the community local people tour leaders and tourists by using indicative questions. Second sources were investigated and analyzed from various information such as academic document and previous research. It was found that the seven groups of participants credited on integrated strategy including Communication Theory Stakeholders’ Involvement Civil State Empowerment Social Network by Facebook Campaign by Tourism Authority of Thailand and Food Safety Standard as a strategy to enhance Nangleang Market to manage tourism sustainably rather than the single one.

This study aimed to develop a homestay village for environmental conservation services. The study divided into 2 stages. The first stage was to study and survey general information and operations of the homestay villages for conservation tourism services. The second stage was to develop the homestay village for environmental conservation tourism services. The mixed methods were employed. The major findings revealed the following: 1. The developed homestay village for environmental conservation tourism services had 6 component’s: (1) Survey a study of document survey of community environment and tourism resources ; (2) Operation planning operation publicizing information to the village people organizing a training on an environmental conservation ; (3) Organization Setting; (4) Relations ; (5) Service welcoming to tourists tourists activities and nearby tourist activities ; and (6) Evolution assessing within the homestays and requesting for evolution from the Tourism Authority of Thailand. In confusion the developed homestay village for environmental conservation tourism services could develop knowledge attitude and behaviors in environmental conservation of the people with homestay service experiences. These people had awareness and responsibility in sustainably environmental conservation in the future.
