| Abstract | The urban land re-development policy is one of the most impOliant issues in govenunent decision-making. Controversy after announcing any urban land policy has occurred regularly. Most of them involve the diversity of needs and conflict in directions of utilization. The author uses the abbreviation 'WiMBY' (an antonym of 'NiMBY') as the analysis tool to compare the heterogeneity of interests in publicly owned land utilization. The study focuses on 'the diversity of positive attitudes' of urban land utilization that was analyzed using the rational statistical method in order to reduce its complexity. The key research question is: Are the preferences the same (or not) across the independent factors when comparing preferences residing in specific land-use nearby the plot and in other areas? The survey results show patterns of preference comparisons across districts to the six plots of three public landowner organizations in Bangkok, Thailand. The ultimate results assist in providing the possible factors involved for fmiher consideration. The author reviewed the failures and successes of urban land utilization projects on all continents, especially cases of controversy. The six case studies lie in the most valuable area, near Bangkok's CBD. Thailand's government or state enterprises own the case study plots, so the purpose of land development policy should affect many stakeholders, the way other public policies do. Factors involved in decision-making are compared herein to find homogeneitylheterogeneity of patterns by partially using a quantitative analysis tool. The provided opportunities involve three major directions of the 'land redevelopment tripod': economic, social, and environmental. Finally, all three legs of the tripod must stand to keep land development balanced and sustainable. Implications of WiMBY CIA will be generalized for a further comparative policy study with multi-stakeholders, to understand the diversity of attitudes optimistically, and to deliver greater consensus in future decision¬making |
