บทคัดย่อ
This study seeks to examine the external and internal factors that affect the opportunities and developmental pathways of Phitsanulok Province within the Luang Prabang-Indochina-Mawlamyine Economic Corridor (LIMEC). The study employed a qualitative research design, utilizing documentary research and conducting in-depth interviews. Five key informants were chosen using purposive sampling: The Governor of Phitsanulok Province, the Provincial Agriculture Officer, the Provincial Commerce Officer, the President of the Phitsanulok Provincial Administrative Organization (PAO), and the President of the Phitsanulok Chamber of Commerce. The process of data collection included a thorough literature review and semi-structured interviews, whereas data analysis utilized content analysis and methodological triangulation to improve validity. The findings indicate that external factors, including Thailand's involvement in regional frameworks such as ACMECS and BIMSTEC, infrastructure connectivity, and international collaboration, play a crucial role in influencing the growth prospects of Phitsanulok. Internally, the identification of economic digitization, human resource development, sustainable agriculture, environmental management, and political stability as essential elements is paramount. Additionally, the study emphasizes the importance of tackling non-traditional security threats such as pandemics, environmental degradation, and transnational crime through regional collaboration under LIMEC. It is recommended to establish a centralized coordination mechanism for LIMEC initiatives, enhance human capital development, foster cross-border health and disaster management cooperation, and create a regional logistics hub in Phitsanulok. Future research ought to concentrate on the significance of digital transformation, conduct comparative analyses among regional corridors, and examine community-level impacts to foster sustainable and inclusive regional development.
