Abstract
The research objective is to rethink the concept of housing theory by focusing on the process and connectedness in low-income communities in Bang Poon Subdistrict, Pathum Thani Province by a case study of Moo 4 Bang Poon and Moo 6 Khlong Rangsit. This research employs various methodologies, including surveys, drawing, recording, interviews, photography, mapping, diagramming and recording Global Positioning System (GPS). Data analysis indicates various factors that affect architecture, including social, cultural, economic, political, and environmental factors that occupants reflect on their experiences, imaginations, and aspirations. The study reveals that low-income houses are a social space that reflects ideas, needs, desires and the role of culture as well as a reflection of the economy and government policies. Therefore, the home is a space of relationships that show the system of order of experience in place, which is the connection between the individual and the world through both forms of socio-cultural order and the role of the place.
