Why rural sustainability?
With rapid urbanization in ASEAN region, major national policies are targeted at fulfilling the needs of urban populations. As a result, rural areas have been neglected and socio-economic and spatial inequity is apparent. Meanwhile, urban sprawl gradually erases agricultural fields and turns them into suburbs with large housing or industrial patches. Rural agriculture has adopted new technology since the first green revolution, and now the soil and water has been ripped off their ecological values and reduced to its worth only as natural resources for agricultural production. Therefore, rural sustainability is a common critical issue in ASEAN these days.
This MOST school aims to enhance understanding on complexity of these critical rural sustainability issues and build capacity of young scholars, researchers and members of civil society groups to address the issues and identify gaps in policy and practices. In addition, the school provides platform for discussion on innovative ways of looking at problems and identifying long-term solutions.

Tourism in Marine Environments

The Khao Lak area was selected as a case study to develop adaptive guidelines to assess coastal community risk and vulnerability in an attempt to mitigate future tsunami impact and other coastal hazards. In this article, vulnerability analysis is based on both physical features and the socio/cultural/economic dimensions. Recommendations to reduce vulnerability and increase local resilience include, but are not limited to, the use of integrated coastal management (ICM) principles and positive socioeconomic enforcement in coastal development planning.
