| dc.description.abstract | The objectives of this article are to present the role of ICT in urban development, its impact on working life and way of life of urban dwellers, to explain the relationships between urbanization and economic growth, and to explore the impact of heavy use of ICT in urban area on the mental health. The urbanization trendhas been accelerated since the 20th century. Urbanization in Thailand has proceeded after World War II with a relatively modest annual growth rate of 2.0%. ICT potentially plays an important part in achieving sustainable urban development. Governments of many countries including Thailand are taking the lead in developing the next generation of cities: smart cities driven by technological solutions. Urbanization and economic growth are very much related to each other. It brings new opportunities and challenges for sustainable development. However, urbanization has given rise to major health issues. Physically and mentally, the urbanites are becoming the sufferers due to various environmental degradation, pollution, fast- living culture, etc. Unemployment and economic conditions can lead to an increase in mental disorder. The technology access variable had a positive effect on mental disorder. In Thailand, the growing addiction to social media has left many users stressed and less patient. Youngsters are also addicted to internet games. Youngsters who spend a lot of time on the internet tend to perform poorly at school. Video game addiction is a mental health disorder. | th_TH |
