摘   要:“包容性”或与所有利益相关者建立拥有共同的目标和愿景的伙伴关系是可持续发展进程中最重要的因素之一。本文调查了当地居民的地方感,而不是专业人士的地方感,因为居民是地方形成过程中的一个关键因素。研究通过当地居民和专业人士的视角调查了泰国北部一个古老城镇Lamphun的地方感,旨在表明一个可持续的地方穿件过程应该理解居民的感知,而不仅仅是专业人士的感知。该研究参考了“地方感”的组成部分:活动、物理特征和意义,通过两组人群的视角展现了区域的易读性和边界。此外,研究还通过问卷调查和参与式会议,调查了当地居民地方体验。研究发现,外观是专业人士的基本要求,而对居民而言,外观是一种社会实践。相反,意义对当地人是重要的,但对游客来说则不然。不同人群的活动也有所区别,当地人在其中作为用户这些活动是进入他们的日常生活中的,而只有一些活动是与作为观察者的游客相关的。可见两组人感知的差异是非常显著的,尤其是对地方的微妙“意义”。总而言之,除了包容性之外,历史名城的发展不仅要考虑物理特征,还要考虑活动和其他意图,这样才能真正实现可持续发展。


Abstract:‘Inclusiveness’ or partnership with shared visions and goals from all stakeholders is one of the most significant factors in the sustainable development process. This paper examines the local inhabitant sense of place, as opposed to the professionals’, regarded as a crucial factor for the place-making process. It investigates the sense of place of a small old town in northern Thailand, Lamphun, through the eyes of its inhabitant and the professionals aiming to show that a sustainable place-making process should comprehend the inhabitants’ perception, not only the professionals’. Adopting the components of a ‘sense of place’: activities, physical attributes and meanings, the research unfolds the district legibility and boundaries through the eyes of both groups. In addition, the inhabitants' experiences of place were investigated through questionnaires and participatory meetings. It was found that physical appearance is a primer for professionals, while for inhabitants it is a social practice. Conversely, meaning is consequential for the locals but not for visitors. Activity differs, for the locals as users in their daily routine, while only some activities are relevant to visitors as observers. This stresses that the differences between the two groups’ perceptions are very significant, especially the subtle ‘meaning’ of the place. All in all, in addition to being inclusive, living historic city development should consider not only physical characteristics but also activities and other intentions in order to become truly sustainable for all.
