Abstract:The focus of this paper was how the resort has conserved resources and controlled pollution. The relevance of this paper increases because the destination of Krabi is yet untouched by pollution which is normally created through mass tourism. Tourists tend to litter the place and pollute it with effluents. They also use scarce restricted resources and if these resources are natural and hard to replace the effect of the pollution become deleterious. One of the advantages of this pristine place is that it is still clean and the beaches are not yet polluted. This added advantage must be sustained for a long period of time if the destination is to be used by future generations. All efforts at sustainable tourism benefit not only business like the tourism industry with the five star ambiences but also the local populace. They benefit indirectly by the tourism effort and are known to garner a lot of money in the process. Policy makers have to realize that the implications of sustainable tourism benefit a large number of people and also contribute to making the world a better place.

A Synergic Approach to Web Usability for SmartphonesDr. Desmond Lobo, Dr. Kerem Kaskaloglu, Dr. Hugh Fox and Ms. Thaksaorn Srisangkhajorn

Presented at “International Conference on Information and Electronics Engineering IPCSIT” in May 28, 2011

Abstract: The mobile phones that we have been carrying with us all the time started becoming increasingly sophisticated and, consequently, the term “smartphone” surfaced. Smartphones today are extremely powerful and, in addition to making phone calls, are capable of performing a variety of other functions. One very important function is the ability to access the Internet. Users of these smartphones regularly conduct online banking transactions, partake in e-commerce activities, browse through informative web portals, take advantage of gaming and other leisure sites, etc. An obstacle that these users face is that access to the Internet is through a tiny interface; this is in sharp contrast to a large, flat-screen monitor that would be available on a desktop computer. Unfortunately, many websites are neither designed for nor suitable to be accessed from these small devices. With relatively little effort, however, the developers of the websites can make the web interfaces more suitable for smartphones and hence accessible to a much larger audience. In this paper, we focus on “web usability”, a term essentially concerned with the ease of accessing and entering information on websites. We compile and synergize several different guidelines with the intent of increasing the web usability of smartphones.

This study aimed to investigate the impact of extracurricular activities on both students’ socialization process and academic performance. The first phase of this study aimed to develop extracurricular activities framework to ensure their positive impacts on students’ socialization process and academic performance using unstructured interview questions with participated pool of 40 students, and survey questionnaire was used to investigate BUUIC students’ perception of the extracurricular activities on their socialization process and academic performance.

What have we learned about teaching from Professor Gary N. McLean.Punnee Pimapunsri

Published in “Journal of Science, Technology, and Humanities Volume 8, No. 2, Year 2010 pp. 99 – 105”

Abstract: This study aims to investigate higher education students’ perception of their classroom learning and to explore Professor Gary N. McLean teaching methodology. The research studied what Ph.D students, at International Graduate Study Program, Burapha University, have learned from “Future Trend in HRD” course thought by Professor McLean. Twenty Ph.D students enrolled in this course in June 2009 participated in this study. Qualitative methods were used with interviews and open-ended written evaluation comments provided at the conclusion of the course as the means of data collection. Information obtained from the study’s findings demonstrated that students learned to be scholars. The class environment encouraged students to participate by sharing what they know with their classmates, asking questions when they had doubts about any topic discussed in class and disagreeing with ideas raised in class. The right source of referencing was emphasized, when it comes to writing papers. Students were taught to learn to analyze what they had heard and, especially, what they had learned before believing it to be true. To build new knowledge and share them with other scholars is one of their duties.
