CULTURAL MAPPING FOR HERITAGE PLANNING

LAMPANG, THAILAND, 2016

Cultural mapping for heritage management plan in historic timber town    

One-week workshop brought together a variety of local stakeholders in the heritage town of Lampang: religious leaders, school teachers, businessmen and artists. Together they mapped the key cultural assets of the old town, not just monuments and temples but also traditional trades, family run café’s, artist galleries and mom&pop shops. 

The mapping exercise provided key input for the Lampang City heritage management and destination branding plan: “Creating Livable City of Lampang by Safeguarding Urban Heritage” created with assistance from the Thai National Housing Authority, Thai Crown Property Bureau and the Niyom Pattamasaevi Foundation.
