Abstract

This research aims to study the spatial potential of Pa Phai Sub-district Municipality for the community development planning according community context, including submit land use guidelines for community development according the spatial potential for sustainable community development. The research methodology includes field surveys and secondary data collection. The potential of land use was then analyzed by Potential Surface Analysis (PSA). The research found that Pa Phai Sub-district Municipality is a semi rural-urban community and can be identified as a the agricultural community. There are physical conditions that are suitable for agriculture, especially in the central and southern areas that are suitable for rice farming because of the water supply and irrigation systems. The uplands are suitable for growing dry crops, perennial crops and horticulture. The high potential areas are suitable for agriculture, along the Mae Faek irrigation canal and the southern and west of the study areas should be preserved as agricultural areas with rural residential and commercial land uses. The high potential areas are suitable for residential area in the western and central part of Pa Phai Sub-district Municipality. The northern areas should be reserved for environmental and forest conservation land use and the continuous areas in the lower part should be preserved as the buffer zone for environmental conservation. These will encourage sustainable agricultural community development.
