Keywords:
Aerotropolis, Khon Kaen Airport, Aviation Hub, Greater Mekong Subregion, Khon KaenAbstract
The purposes of this research were to examine and analyze Khon Kaen Airport's
aerotropolis growth toward becoming the Greater Mekong Subregion's aviation hub. As a mixedmethods study, eight informants from the public and private sectors were recruited by purposive sampling and interviewed using semi-structured questions to gather data for a descriptive analysis.
A quantitative research technique was conducted to collect data using a convenience sampling
method from local residents in Khon Kaen province using 400 questionnaires with a 5-point rating scale question using descriptive statistics, which include frequency, percentage, mean, and
standard deviation. The f-Test and t-Test are inferential statistics to test hypotheses.
According to the findings of a survey conducted in Khon Kaen, the majority of residents
highlighted an overall opinion on the aerotropolis development of Khon Kaen Airport towards
the Greater Mekong Subregion’s aviation hub at Mean = 4.29, S.D. = 0.672. The analysis indicated
that Khon Kaen Province needs the development of industrial zones, a central business district,
and transportation developments to connect the airport with a sky train that will enable residents
or passengers to travel to various locations in the aviation city around Khon Kaen Airport.
