This study investigated the dimensional plan of Kor Sork temple in Preah Pithu complex, Angkor by civil surveying, 3D scan, measured integer ratio and regularity. According to epitaph and preceding researches, Khmer temples were built based on structural planing with the constant ratio and regularity by using special construct measure scales "Hasta" and "Byama". The study assumed the same unit method was applied in Kor Sork temple and identified the regularity of actual measurement value about the temple. The assumed construct measure scale (Hasta) used for the design of this temple is 413mm. The overall apart arrangement of the temple is different in the East-West direction and the North-South direction. In the East-West direction, the whole scale is 180 hasta, and it is divided into 20 hastas. On the other hands, it was confirmed that the North-South direction is 96 hasta and it was divided four quadrants in 24 hastas. Regarding the detailed design, the regularity according to the constant ratio was confirmed. 7 hasta was used as the basic unit on the first floor and 6 hasta were used as the basic unit on the second floor of the terrace. the basement and the central sanctuary is of 6 hasta and 8 hasta were used as the basic standard.

The recent listing of Preah Vihear Temple as a World Heritage Site has awakened a longtime simmering border dispute between Thailand and Cambodia over a few square kilometers surrounding the ancient Khmer Temple. While the listing of the site by UNESCO was expected to revive the economy of the impoverished border towns near the temple due to the increased tourism and funding for the preservation of the archeological site, it has had the opposite effect due to the sharp increase in violent conflict carried out by the armed forces and nationalist activists from both sides. Military skirmishes and violent protests have brought the local economy to a halt in addition to causing considerable physical damage to the local infrastructure and to the local transnational network of ethnic Kui, local business owners, Khmer and Thai villagers. This paper shows how the dispute is viewed and undertaken by three distinct communities involved in the conflict, the militaries, the metropolitan political elites and activists, and the local villagers. The three communities represent three different cultures of conflict with different interests and most importantly with differential access to the media and official representations of the dispute.

In the 1920s, a new religion emerged in Tay Ninh Province, Southern Vietnam, under the name Caodaism; also known as the Third Universal Salvation of the Great Dao. It is the result of the typical combination of three main religions (Buddhism, Daoism, and Confucianism). Different ethnic groups populated Tay Ninh, such as Chinese, Khmer, Cham, and Kinh. Additionally, the core principle of Caodaism is known as The Three Religions Returned to the Origin, and it is also expanded as The Five Branches Reunited. The Five Branches are humankind's five ways of self-cultivation: the Way of Humans, the Way of Deities, the Way of Saints, the Way of Immortals, and the Way of Buddhas. Although Caodaism was only founded in 1920, this religion is well known domestically and internationally. This is because Caodaism has a distinctive identity; it is a new religion that advocates a syncretistic combination of essential religious teachings that follow the harmonization and reconciliation between the East and West as well as between the past and present. Moreover, the Tay Ninh Holy See is the most important, first, and largest Cao Dai temple in Vietnam. The temple is located in Tay Ninh Province in southwestern Vietnam. This article aims to introduce the Tay Ninh Holy See as the birthplace of Caodaism and as the largest Cao Dai religious palace, not only in Vietnam but also in other countries that practice Caodaism. A brief overview of Tay Ninh Holy See's origin, history, and planning will be provided. Most importantly, the style of the architecture at the Tay Ninh Holy See will be comprehensively analyzed to shed more light on the meaning of each section and the details of this temple structure.

이 연구는 12세기에 건립된 라오스 홍낭시다 사원에서 출토된 크메르문명 갈유도기와 기와의 물리적 특성, 광물학적 및 지구화학적 분석을 통해 원료물질을 조사하고 제작기술을 해석하고자 하였다. 3점의 갈유도기 유약은 광물이 모두 용융되어 유리질화된 상태이며, 용융제 산화칼슘 함량이 15 % 이상인 전형적인 라임계열이다. 태토의 주구성광물은 석영과 멀라이트, 크리스토발라이트로 동정된다. 기질은 치밀하나 기질의 재결정화가 일어나지 않아 크리스토발라이트가 상전이로 기인한 것이 아닌 화산암 생성토를 원료로 도기를 제작한 영향으로 판단된다. 주사전자현미경 관찰에서 멀라이트가 관찰되어 950 ℃ 이상에서 소성되었을 것으로 판단된다. 한편 6점의 무시유 기와는 외면색상이 적갈색, 회백색, 청회색으로 구분된다. 속심 색상은 외면과 색 계열이 유사하나 청회색 기와는 속심이 적갈색인 샌드위치 구조로 완벽한 환원환경을 경험하지 못한 것으로 판단된다. 무정형 철산화물 노듈이 다수 관찰되고 화학조성이 상당히 유사하여 동일 기반암에서 생성된 원료로 제작되었을 것으로 추정된다. 소성온도는 운모류, 헤르시나이트, 멀라이트 동정에 따라 900 ℃ 이하, 900~950 ℃, 950 ℃ 이상의 세 유형으로 분류된다.
