Abstract

Landscape Conservation as a Preventive Measure in Conserving Temples Near Water Bodies in Central Thailand

Developing Guidelines for the Prevention of Further Deterioration of the Wat Kampang (Klong Bangjak)

The primary goal of observing landscape architecture and its philosophy is to explore and provide insight into the dynamic of the management of landscape architectural design and heritage site conservation regarding the physical surroundings of ceremonial grounds. The author’s independent Master’s degree research of Wat Kampang temple at Klong Bangjak Canal, Thailand, is utilised as a reference for landscape conservation as a preservation technique. The environmental context of the cultural item, the heritage building, and the landscape architecture of the heritage sites all significantly impact the degradation of heritage structures. This study examines case studies from local and abroad that used a standard premise, architectural style, setting, and material. As a result, landscape design is important as part of preventative conservation to avoid future degradation of historical artworks in heritage buildings. Landscape preventive measure guidelines must be considered for temples close to water bodies in Central Thailand.
