LAND FORMATION PROCESS THROUGH THE ORCHARD SYSTEM IN AMPHWA NEIGHBORHOOD: THE STUDY OF SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE-BASED SOCIETY IN MAEGLONG LOWER BASIN 2

摘要

An orchard system, in the lower basin of Chaophraya Delta, could be regarded the sustainable land reclamation process that contributed its indispensable role in providing space compatibly suitable for settlement, for few hundred years ago. This study led to an apparent result of, the land formation process through the orchard system in Amphwa neighborhood, by clarifying of the correlation between the waterways and the orchard unit. From an apparent hierarchy of waterway, and for the reason of the geographical advantage, which had much influences on the ability of irrigation and accessible to water, the first settlement would be set along the main waterways. And according to the development pattern of the unit of land-parcel and block of land-parcels; there was the systematic land formation process performed to accomplish the linkage and membrane of an orchard neighborhood.%チャウプラヤ・デルタ南部地帯の開拓に導入されたと思われる果樹園システムは、農業と共に居住空間をももたらした。近代的な手法と違って、果樹園システムは持続的居住環境の創生にとって最も適切な手法とみなされる。しかし、この果樹園システムに関する研究、特に地域計画の分野において、まだ数少ない。
