The Relationship between Toponym and Geographical Characteristics for Places through Isan Folk Songs
Keywords:
Isan Folk, Sense of Place, Toponym, Jintara Poonlarp, Spatial DistributionAbstract
Isan folk songs are literary works which record situations reflecting the living conditions and lifestyles of Isan people. This study aims at classifying toponym types and identifying the spatial distribution of the relationship between toponym and geographical characteristics of songs by Jintara Poonlarp in the forms of albums and singles produced between 1987 and 2019. This study employs a semantic grouping theory and differentiation theory to investigate the toponym of 45 songs. In addition, this study uses Average Nearest Neighbor function with Geographic Information System and geographical concepts to identify the spatial distribution of 32 songs. The findings suggest that the classification of toponym types includes physical characteristics (73.33%), cultural characteristics (8.89%), a combination of physical and social characteristics (6.67%), and a combination of physical and cultural characteristics (4.44%). Patterns of distribution were random, but a cluster pattern was found in the middle of the Korat basin. The Isan folk songs reveal the relationship between physical, social and cultural characteristics. This study reflects songs and feeling about places, spatial views, lifestyles and the promotion of culture and development of tourist routes following Isan folk songs.
