| Description | ||||||
| This study investigates the sustainability of ten traditional arts and crafts enterprises in the Mandalay Region of Myanmar, collectively known as “Pan Sel Myo”, including blacksmithing, goldsmithing and silversmithing, bronze casting, stucco work, woodcarving, masonry, stone carving, turnery, painting, and lacquerware. Mandalay, as a center of Myanmar's cultural heritage, faces significant challenges in sustaining these enterprises due to globalization, modernization, and changing consumer preferences, which threaten both the livelihoods of artisans and the preservation of cultural traditions. The rapid influx of mass-produced goods and the growing tendency of younger generations to seek non-traditional career paths contribute to the erosion of traditional practices and knowledge transmission. These issues have broad implications for economic development, poverty reduction, and cultural preservation, given that Mandalay’s heritage is a vital driver of tourism. Despite these pressing concerns, there is a lack of empirical research specifically addressing the sustainability of traditional cultural enterprises in Mandalay. This study seeks to fill that gap by examining the current status of ten traditional arts and crafts enterprises, assessing their awareness and understanding of government policies, and exploring the factors influencing their sustainability. A descriptive method utilizing qualitative research through unstructured questionnaires, along with a review of secondary data sources, forms the basis of the research. Thirty enterprises from the Mandalay Region are the primary focus, providing a detailed understanding of the challenges and opportunities faced by these traditional artisans. The study’s findings aim to inform policymakers, stakeholders, and cultural practitioners in devising evidence-based strategies that promote the resilience and longevity of these enterprises, ensuring their continued contribution to Myanmar’s cultural identity and economic landscape. While the study is limited to these specific enterprises within Mandalay, it serves as a vital case for understanding the broader dynamics of cultural sustainability in Myanmar’s traditional arts and crafts sectors. This thesis is organized into five chapters, covering an introduction, a review of relevant literature, the presentation of Myanmar's ten traditional arts and crafts, data analysis, and a conclusion that includes recommendations for future policy and practice. |
