The Faculty of Political Science and Public Administration, Chiang Mai University, continues to drive academic service projects for sustainable community development through public participation, cultural preservation, and the enhancement of local capital.
The projects are led by Associate Professor Dr. Patamawadee Jongruck, Lecturer at the School of Public Administration.
“Merit Waste for Ban Umong Cemetery Improvement” Project
A workshop was organized to provide knowledge on waste separation and establish a community working committee, aiming to strengthen community-based waste management and improve shared public spaces in the Umong community, Chiang Mai.
“The Charm of Ban Hong: Reviving Legendary Flavors, Preserving Cultural Heritage” Project
This project builds upon local food identity and traditional herbal wisdom to promote cultural capital and the creative economy. Activities included surveying and developing a database of “lost menus” from Ban Hong District, Lamphun Province, in order to preserve local wisdom while creating opportunities for sustainable tourism and community economic development.
Sustainable community development begins with recognizing the value of local resources, cultural heritage, and the power of people within the community.
