Abstract

This article examines the living space and cultural landscape of the Black Thai (Tai Dam) community in Bo village, Chieng An Ward, Son La Province, from the perspectives of cultural landscape and cultural resources. Drawing on fieldwork conducted in 2025, the study conceptualizes living space not merely as a residential setting but as the product of long-term interactions among the community, natural environment, local knowledge, and sociocultural practices. The findings indicate that the village structure, water sources, stilt houses, production areas, and cultural practices form an interconnected cultural landscape in which tangible and intangible values are continually maintained, adapted, and recreated in response to urbanization and infrastructure development.

Keywords: Cultural landscape, cultural resources, living space, Son La, Thai.
