Houses in Thailand

A local house is a structure owned by villagers, built by villagers, with systems and methods transmitted continuously from ancestors. It is built using materials available in each locality, aligning with the lifestyle and ecosystem of each area. Local wisdom is used to adjust for balance between lifestyle and natural environment. The study of local houses is an attempt to study the value of such architecture by considering the integration of various architectural forms with lifestyle, ecosystem, and the continuity of eras inherited by each ethnic group. It also studies the spread of local cultural heritage with the objective of preserving original local architecture with minimal modification or change. Furthermore, based on past operational results, the Sirindhorn Anthropology Centre (Public Organization) has provided research grants on the topic of local houses in Thailand for several projects, resulting in high-quality research providing data on local houses in Thailand from detailed and accurate field surveys and data collection. This includes similar topics studied by other researchers from other agencies, which are numerous but have never been compiled and disseminated in other forms besides book-format research. It is appropriate to manage this data into a digital database with a system for collection, aggregation, and online dissemination to allow researchers and the general public to access data more conveniently and quickly. This will facilitate the further use or application of data in research or professional work. Therefore, the "Development of the Local House Database in Thailand" was established starting from fiscal year 2559.
