Synthesis of Public Places Preservation in the Area of Roi Et Province

Abstract

The purposes of this research were to study the level of factors affecting public places preservation in the area of Roi Et Province, the efficiency of public places preservation in the area of the study and synthesis of public places preservation model in the area of the study. The samples of the first phase comprised of 361 persons by Yamane’s sampling sized, using the questionnaire as the tool. The samples of the second phase comprised of 17 persons by using focus group method and 18 persons by indepth interview method. The statistics used for data analysis were frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation. The statistic used for hypothesis test were Pearson’s correlation with the statistic signification at .05 level, multiple linear regression analysis by stepwise and data analysis for qualitative research. The results found were as follows. 1) The level of factors affecting public places preservation in the area of Roi Et Province, generally, was rated at a high level. 2. The level of public places preservation efficiency in the area of the study, generally, was rated at a high level. 3. The relationship between factors affecting public places preservation in the area of the study, generally, was rated at a low level of .475. 4. The factors affecting public places preservation in the area of the study, generally, was rated at a high level. Those factors were 6 in number as follows; human resources, law and decentralization, administration and management, participation, information technology and organizational culture. The only 6 factors, after being analyzed through multiple regressions by stepwise method, could be displayed equation in form of raw and standard marks as follows; The regression equation of raw score Y = 1.215 + .421 X₁ - .359X₂ - .375X₃ +.427X₄ + .314X₆ + .215X₇ The regression equation of standard score Zr = .424Z₄ + .345Z₆ - .309Z₃ - .304 Z₂ +.271Z₁ + .192Z₇ 5. The public places preservation model in the area of municipal in Roi Et Province comprised of human resources, law and decentralization, administration and management, participation, leadership, information technology and organizational culture. The factors of which significantly affected public places preservation were maintenance and protection, disputes and action in rem case, and cost of operation Furthermore, Public places preservation in the area of municipalities in Roi Et Province must consider other important related factors, for instance; economy and society, overlapping area, local believes and traditions, and area context.
