The Urban Planning Program, Faculty of Architecture, Rajamangala University of Technology Srivijaya (RUTS), organized a Training and Orientation Program for new students in the Academic Year 2024 on July 2, 2024. The activity, led by Lecturer Nontharos Pakman, Head of the Program, was designed to equip first-year students with fundamental knowledge and essential concepts in urban planning before beginning their formal studies.
The training program aimed to:
- Provide students with basic understanding of urban and regional planning principles prior to their first year of study.
- Prepare students through knowledge integration, practical awareness, and academic readiness to succeed in the program.
The session was supported by faculty members and third-year senior students, fostering an atmosphere of mentorship and peer learning. Through lectures, discussions, and interactive learning, students gained an initial understanding of urban systems, spatial development, and sustainable city design, forming a strong foundation for their upcoming coursework and studio practice.
The Urban Planning Training 2024 exemplifies RUTS’s commitment to educating future city planners who will lead sustainable urban development in Thailand. By combining academic readiness, practical learning, and interdisciplinary collaboration, this initiative supports Quality Education and Sustainable Cities and Communities, ensuring that new generations of students understand the social, environmental, and cultural dimensions of planning from the very beginning of their studies.
