- Community-Based Development and Participatory Research
- Geospatial Technologies and Area-Based Social Sciences

- Migration, Ethnicity, and Borderland Studies
- Natural Resource Management and Environmental Governance
- Political Ecology, Social Disparities, and Environmental Justice
- Disaster Risk Reduction and Community Resilience
- Sustainable Cities and Urbanization
- Sustainable Tourism & Local Development

💡 Your article could play a vital role in generating new knowledge to understand social and environmental transformations, ultimately contributing to sustainable area-based development in Thailand.

The journal accepts empirical research, area-based studies, and academic articles that integrate knowledge across the fields of social sciences, geography, and environmental studies, including interdisciplinary research linking social dimensions with spatial changes.
