Abstract

Research on vernacular architecture in Thailand has been going on for nearly fifty years,
but the content of the study was not widely recognized. Some are considered to have a certain
distance from daily life or does not respond to the diverse needs of the people, as well as the problem of local, and society as a whole. This article aims to analyze the relationship of vernacular architecture with other sciences and their methodologies of study that can conduct along with other research methods, including analysis of research approaches and applications to suit the situation of Thai economy based on the combination of methods and knowledge. The author used relevant literary studies as the main tool for analysis and suggestion to be able to apply to meet the needs and problems of each local, including the expand of research scope into more diversity.
Creating a comprehensive knowledge base and integrating the vernacular study into other disciplines is a way to help develop and manage local resources effectively and sustainability.
