https://ph02.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/BUILT/article/view/255571
<p>As one of the crucial components of the microsystem system in human development, the educational environment plays a significant role in shaping young children’s holistic development. Preschool interior space could be one of the most important places where children first interact in school life. Specifically, the interior space of preschool is the place where young children spend a lot of time in their lives surpassing the home environment. In Vietnam, research on preschool interior design, particularly in the context of color usage, remains limited despite there is high demand to build preschool buildings to adapt to the increasing number of young children going to kindergarten each year, such as in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC). This paper explores color designs in preschool interiors in HCMC, Vietnam; aiming to propose colors that align with children’s developmental needs and pedagogical practices. Through conducting the data from reviewing academic articles and papers, on-site observation case studies in both public preschool and private preschools, focus on interior classroom space, visual-spatial, and color comparative analysis, and utilizing Adobe's palette extractor for color palette, this paper explores the application of color design in preschool interior space. The findings suggest the potential benefits of using bright and cool tones for background colors, complemented by vibrant hues such as blue, red, yellow, or orange for accents in interior spaces. Aligning with pedagogical practices, the use of color can create stimulating environments that encourage children to explore and discover. Additionally, attention should be given to factors such as flooring materials, cultural context, and spatial functionality. The findings of this paper contribute to the limited academic resources on color space design in Vietnam, providing valuable insights for architects, interior designers, teachers, and educators to make informed decisions when designing preschool environments.</p>An Nguyen Thi Tam, Eakachat Joneurairatana, Veerawat Sirivesmas

https://ph02.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/BUILT/article/view/256808
<p>Radon is a ubiquitous radioactive noble gas which cannot be detected by any human senses. Moreover, it is known to be the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers. Soil is the main source of radon, although another major source of indoor radon is derived from building materials, particularly building materials which are by-products from industrial processes containing relatively high concentrations of radium (such as fly ash and phosphogypsum). These building materials produce more radon gas than the others. This research is divided into two parts. The first part focuses on radon-exhalation rates from cementitious materials which contain variations of fly ash (FA) and phosphogypsum (PG). The second part focuses on the study of the concentrations and distributions of radon in shophouses, one of the most popular residential building types in Thailand, which use fly ash and phosphogypsum as an additive in cement. From the first part, the results from measuring radon concentration in closed test chambers by using a pulse-counting ionization chamber radon gas monitor (Atmos 12 dpx) show that the radon exhalation rate is significantly increased when more fly ash is added (from 40 to 60% in concrete); whereas, a clearly exponential correlation is found between radon exhalation rate and phosphogypsum content. From the second part, the CFD simulations show that, in the case of using 50% PG additive, the interior partitions in shophouses affect the radon concentration level and this noble gas accumulates in areas of poor ventilation, which could reach 648.10 Bq/m<sup>3</sup> (higher than the average world value of 39 Bq/m<sup>3</sup>), resulting in the exceedance of the annual effective dose of 16.33 mSv/y. </p>Touchaphong Srisuwan
