Community-Based Sustainable Development in Bangnamphueng: A Case Study of Local Resilience in Thailand
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
This article examines the Bangnamphueng community in southern Bangkok as a case study of grassroots-driven sustainable development. Following the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis, this community successfully transformed its local economy through collaborative resource management, environmental conservation, and cultural preservation initiatives. The community visit by UN-SDG Bootcamp 2025 Bangkok deligates investigates the community's governance structures, sustainability strategies, and ongoing challenges, offering valuable insights into how local communities can independently pursue development pathways aligned with global sustainability frameworks. Through qualitative analysis of stakeholder narratives, the study reveals how community-based tourism has shaped social, economic, environmental, and cultural dimensions of community life.
