Abstract
This report argues that sustainable heritage management requires strong support from the local community. Sustainable community can in turn help with the sustainability of heritage. The aim of the research is to investigate the role of community in heritage sustainability with regard to UNESCO's World Heritage Site policy in the Old Historic Town of Ayutthaya. For Ayutthaya, it is clear that the rich variety of social, economic, political and cultural developments has, in many ways, had an influence on Thai society. Moreover, there are distinct cultural traits and ways of life that have developed in the area but are often overlooked. Throughout the prosperous era, Ayutthaya has become a cultural melting pot of different races and religious beliefs which has influence Thai society until today. This paper will investigate effects of World Heritage Site policy and Thai government practices on local community. Heritage value and cultural and daily life impacts will be discussed. Furthermore, this paper will assess an awareness of local community to the heritage and how it responds to the policy in order to sustain itself and its cultural heritage. Massage interpreted by local community after the policy has been used and their involvement in heritage conservation program will be addressed.
