Renowned for its scholarly dissemination, JPSS has been instrumental in advancing research in its respective fields. Since transitioning to an online-only format in 2014, JPSS has consistently delivered cutting-edge research, with an impressive volume of approximately 48 articles annually.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">JPSS actively encourages submissions from a diverse range of disciplines, including demography, population studies, and related fields such as health sciences, sociology, anthropology, population economics, population geography, human ecology, political science, statistics, and methodological issues. The breadth of contributions spans a wide array of topics, encompassing population and family dynamics, population aging, sexuality, gender, reproductive health, population-environment interactions, population health, migration, urbanization, labor, factors influencing and resulting from population changes, as well as the intricate social and behavioral dimensions of population.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">At the heart of our mission is the establishment of a dynamic platform that fosters knowledge exchange among researchers, academics, professionals, practitioners, and graduate students worldwide. We actively seek empirical and theoretical research papers, case studies, literature reviews, and book reviews that stimulate valuable insights and advancements in the field. Recognizing the significance of these contributions, we strive to engage the academic community, policy-makers, and practitioners in meaningful dialogue, nurturing a deeper understanding of population-related issues and their implications.</p> en-US jpss.ipsr@gmail.com (Sarayut Sakultantimetha) jpss.ipsr@gmail.com (Sarayut Sakultantimetha) Sat, 31 Jan 2026 07:25:12 +0700 OJS 3.3.0.8 http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss 60 https://so03.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/jpss/article/view/288699 <p>This study examines global research trends on sustainable development in craft village tourism from 1976 to 2024 using CiteSpace software, explicitly to address a critical structural and conceptual gap in the existing literature: a lack of a macro-level, systematic synthesis of the field. A dataset of 185 documents drawn from the Scopus and Web of Science databases was analyzed to identify key themes, influential authors, and collaborative networks. Results show an evolving focus—from early works on cultural preservation and traditional crafts toward multifaceted approaches encompassing economic sustainability, environmental management, and community-based strategies. Despite a recent surge in publications, co-authorship and keyword analysis reveal moderate to low network densities, indicating fragmented collaboration and limited thematic integration. Southeast Asia, particularly Vietnam and Indonesia, leads empirical research on heritage conservation and community empowerment, while China and developed countries often contribute frameworks for policy and technology adoption. Emerging topics include digital transformation, circular economy models, and post-pandemic resilience. Future studies should establish standardized sustainability criteria, strengthen cross-regional partnerships, and apply advanced digital tools to enhance stakeholder engagement. By converging cultural preservation, economic viability, and environmental stewardship, craft village tourism can be positioned as a resilient and equitable model of rural development.</p> Nguyen Quang Vu Copyright (c) 2026 Journal of Population and Social Studies [JPSS] http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 https://so03.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/jpss/article/view/288699 Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0700
