Perceptions of Infrastructure in the World Heritage Historic Town Based on an Example, This Case from Thailand

A critical infrastructure gap has been identified in the UNESCO World Heritage Historic Town of Sukhothai, Thailand, with tourists universally citing poor access and walkway conditions as a major concern. This finding, derived from qualitative interviews with 41 foreign visitors using purposive sampling, reveals that issues like ease of movement are perceived negatively across diverse demographic groups, highlighting an urgent need for development to sustain this heritage site's tourism viability.
