The employment assessment in Chiang Mai, Thailand
Summary
A greenhouse gas inventory by the Chiang Mai Municipality identified the transportation sector as a priority for emission reductions, leading to a proposal for Non-Motorised Transport (NMT). Surveys at Three Kings Monument Square and the city moat indicate that domestic and foreign tourists support NMT as a means to promote tourism, reduce emissions, and create local jobs, provided that safety and facilities for cycling are improved. The brief recommends a phased implementation of bicycle routes, starting with a 607-meter stretch at Three Kings Monument Square and expanding to approximately 6,000 meters around the Chiang Mai moat, connecting hotels and major tourist destinations.
Key insights
- A greenhouse gas inventory conducted by the Chiang Mai Municipality indicated that reducing emissions from the transportation sector is essential for the city to lower its overall GHG emissions.
