Transparency & Governance

How we make decisions

We believe trust comes from being open about who runs this, how places are chosen, and how partnerships work.

Phuket Local Connect is an independent working public beta. This page explains who operates it, how it works, what its limitations are, and how organisations interested in piloting can get in touch.

Who operates PLC

PLC is a founder-led pilot operated by Regenera (Thailand) Co., Ltd. There is not yet a dedicated full-time platform team. We collaborate with communities, schools, researchers, businesses and public organisations through pilot and activity-specific arrangements, while remaining an independent initiative.

We are a working public beta

PLC is a working public beta. We test, learn and adjust based on user feedback. Several modules remain under development. Reports and observations are manually reviewed by the team during this phase.

How places are selected

Most places come from community suggestions, local knowledge, and cultural or natural value. We verify information before publishing, and do not accept payment to rank or feature any place.

What membership does and does not buy

Fees cover tools, setup and support during the pilot. Membership does not buy verification, higher public ranking, sustainability certification, or favourable editorial coverage.

How partnerships work

We look for partners who share our values, are willing to learn together, and benefit the place. Partnership is not pay-to-play access to public content.

Funding and operations

The pilot is currently funded primarily by the founder. Partner support may be in-kind or specific to individual activities. If additional funding is received in the future, we will disclose it openly.

What PLC is not

PLC is not a government agency, an emergency service, an official complaint authority, a certification body, or a tour-booking marketplace. PLC cannot guarantee the actions of other organisations.

Limitations we acknowledge

Citizen Science data coverage is incomplete. Several modules remain under development. There is not yet a formal community-governance structure. When one is established, we will publish the details on this page.
