Guidelines for the Conservation of Nadoon Relics, Buddhist Places

Abstract

The article titled "Conservation Guidelines for Phra That Nadun: A Buddhist Religious Site" presents the history and significance of Phra That Nadun, a Buddhist archaeological site that is over 3,300 years old. It also discusses the current state of its preservation and proposes conservation guidelines. Phra That Nadun is a sacred site with archaeological evidence and Buddhist artistic value. The current conservation efforts face challenges from deterioration due to time and natural disasters, which have caused structural damage such as cracks and subsidence. Additionally, new constructions have been introduced into the area. The proposed conservation guidelines suggest forming a joint committee composed of the Fine Arts Department, local authorities, and the Champasri Historical Committee to establish policies, plans, and budgets for restoration. Furthermore, public participation in the care and preservation of the site is encouraged, ensuring its longevity and contributing positively to the national economy.
