Samshuk old market district typically expresses how, in our grand (grand) father
generation, the commercial area had been settled and evolved and it represents
the unique architectural and urban character where had existed in many canalbased
cities overall the central region of Thailand. Nowadays, influenced by
modernization, many of them have been changed and demolished. To survive
such a built environment, local community at Samshuk has rigorously attempted
promoting out the conservation and heritage agenda to public sphere. This
attempt has brought some positive changes – the emerging mechanisms to
survive local heritage. The paper would discuss on two issues. Firstly, it is the
supporting mechanism appeared since many inputs and activities have been
addressed, but chaotic and unorganized. Based on the authors’ direct experiences
and participatory observation as well as action, there have been three levels of
mechanism embracing and steering conservation process. Secondly, therefore,
the bridging networks and partnerships among local and district authorities,
professional/academic institutes, and NGOs, have become a platform of longterm
working mechanism on which the conservation plan relies. We hope that
this illustrated scenario could be, somehow a small step to begin on local heritage
protection and shed the further light as another experience to locally initiate the
urban and architectural conservation and could be contributed to conservation
paradigm and theory, especially in Third World country’s local political context.
