| Abstract | Most human and city settlement is known to be in or near coastal zones. Consequently, the intense demand for coastal resource exploitation has negatively impacted coastal ecosystems. As a result of both economic development and conservation of the ecosystems, sustainability challenges have inevitably arisen. The objective of this study was to assess the potential of the sustainable development of the lower Andaman sub-region in Thailand in order to gain information for future economic development planning based on existing marine and coastal resources. The AHP and PSA techniques were used to assess the area potential. From the pairwise comparison of the important factors by experts, it was found that the most important factors were marine resources and the environment (37.6%), followed by the economy (marine fisheries and coastal tourism) and the well-being of society (32.4 and 30.0%, respectively). Moreover, the first important sub-factors were the mean of agricultural and fishery income (baht per household/per month) and mangroves (29.7 and 29.4%, respectively), followed by the number of marine animals landing at major fishing ports (tons) and income from foreign tourists (28.4 and 22.7%, respectively). Three provinces (Krabi, Trang, Satun) had the potential for marine resources and the environment and the well-being of society at a high level. Further, Krabi province had the potential for coastal tourism at a moderate level, while those of Trang and Satun provinces were at a low level. Moreover, Satun province had the potential for marine fisheries at a moderate level, but those of Krabi and Trang provinces were at a low level. |
