Abstract

This research study utilized Geostatistics to examine the spatial data on drunk driving incidents in Muang Nakhon Pathom from 2013 to 2017. The study collected data on 685 drunk driving cases and 1,096 Facebook statuses geotagged to entertainment venues. This study aimed to investigate the pattern of drunk driving incidents, analyze hot spots, study the directional distribution of drunk driving cases, and explore the relationship between drunk driving cases and social aspects. The findings revealed that the drunk driving cases were clustered, with the highest number of cases occurring in Sanam Chan sub-district, where alcohol stores and entertainment venues are located. The cases were mostly directed towards the eastern part of Nakhon Pathom, and the study found a positive correlation between drunk driving and geotagged statuses with statistical significance as p-value = 0.05. The outcomes of this research can be used to inform policy-making and decisions related to public posts about drinking-related activities.
