Abstract

Mon community households are clustered together, which is due to natural features, such as rivers. Therefore, transportation is limited to the waterway. However, it is positive psychologically because they feel close together and warm. Past community expansion was done along waterways because water was essential to life. The temple was the center of religious activities, so having households near the temple made it easy for residents to participate in these activities. When roads were constructed, community expansion took place along the roads. Roads made life even more convenient and residents were able to carry out trade activities. However, the community has some geographical restrictions. It borders Mahachai Canal to the west and Bang Kra Dee Canal to the east, making it difficult for expansion. Consequently, households are tightly clustered together with little or no space. New houses are made of wood similar to old ones and this makes the community very unique. The make up of the settlement is also related to local lifestyles and social relationships. The residents make full use of the natural resources around their community. Houses are mostly located along the canals, but the relationship between household plans and water has not been found. The direction of the house is in line with the direction of the first pillar, which is the ethnic belief.
