## History

Central Rama 2 opened in June 2002, and since then, Rama II Road has developed into a major economic artery, serving as the main route to the South and linking numerous communities in the West and central Bangkok. The area has evolved into a bustling center for shopping and activities, drawing visitors from southern Bangkok and nearby provinces. This research employed a qualitative longitudinal approach to examine the environmentally sustainable practices of Centara Hotels & Resorts between 2015 and 2020. Document analysis was used to assess the qualitative data.
The company’s annual Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions increased throughout the study, corresponding with its operational demands. For the renovation control of Central Rama 2, based on the changed design look is to consider green space, seamless system elements and easy to use in a new urbanized lifestyle. Another plan is to explore, including the largest green space in Rama 2, a new lung for families in the Rama 2 area with a large green space of more than 40 rai, which was completed in 2022, meeting the needs of consumers looking for an outdoor relaxation area and to connect with nature.
