Roles and Changes of Khlong Sip Song Hok wa Market, Pathum Thani
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study aimed to analyze the physical, economic, social, activity system, and role development of the Khlong Sip Song Wa Market in Pathum Thani Province from 1897 to 2023 through primary data collection, such as area surveys and interviews, as well as secondary data collection from documents and maps. The research results found that the market's role changed in each era: in the early period, it played a role in trading and housing, while the secondary role was agriculture; in the peak period, trading was still the main role, while agriculture was the secondary role; nowadays, the main role has shifted to tourism and filming location. The most important factor that caused was the development of land transportation routes, causing people who lived in the original area to migrate and relocate to other areas with more convenient transportation, resulting in a decrease in the number of shops as the attempts to revitalize the area by the government and the people have not been successful.
