One project activity is to establish three villages to settle the project beneficiaries in order to promote the reforestation practice through various approaches. This study is under the Khao Kho Project. The objective of the study is to provide a settlement design for two of these three new villages. The site selection, design criteria and layout design of the village settlements are proposed based on the results of the primary survey and field observation, and related secondary information, both on the socio-economical and physical aspects. According to the design criteria, a layout design is formulated on the site selected which owns better topography, easier access to water resources, existing roads a n d advantage of natural drain. The layout design of the settlements covers land subdivision plan and infrastructure design. two villages are design to b e attached in order to save infrastructure. Four clusters are formulated with a consideration of the possibility of community participation in the construction process.
