The Guidelines /Morality / EthicsAbstract
This research article aimed to: 1) examine the current conditions and problems in developing the logistics system to the trading gateway of Samut Prakan Province; 2) investigate the factors that promote the policy of developing the logistics system to the trading gateway of Samut Prakan Province; and 3) propose the guidelines for developing a logistics system to the trading gateway of Samut Prakan Province to be modern and have the ability to compete. This qualitative study recruited executive administrators, state enterprises, the private sector, experts, and stakeholders in Samut Prakan Province as informants to participate in in-depth interviews and focus group discussions. The data were analyzed by content analysis.
The results indicated that 1) Samut Prakan Province is ready in many factors that promote logistics conditions, being like the country's entry-exit gateway to the world both by land, water and air, and has a location that connects with the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) development zone. Problems in Samut Prakan Province include traffic congestion that makes transportation inconvenient and the expansion of industrial factories, which causes various kinds of pollution. 2) Factors that promote the policy of developing the logistics system to the trading gateway of Samut Prakan Province include political, economic, social, technological and other factors. These factors have a great impact on the success or failure of the policy to develop the logistics system to the trading gateway, and 3) Samut Prakan Province should promote infrastructure development, support technology in logistics management, should create cluster areas and an environment conducive to activities and investment in logistics, should improve relevant laws, should promote cooperation between the public and private sectors for logistics development. The body of knowledge indicates that the logistics system development policy should have an integrated and coordinated direction, namely establishing coordination mechanisms, promotion, developing personnel, using technology, and promoting research and development. To be effective, the policy must have a comprehensive nature, be sustainable, flexible, involved, and measurable.
