About the Center for Khmer Studies

Cambodia Urban Database was created by the Center for Khmer Studies (CKS). The Center for Khmer Studies (CKS) promotes research, teaching and public service in the social sciences, arts and humanities in Cambodia and the Mekong region.

CKS seeks to:

• Promote research and international scholarly exchange by programs that increase understanding of Cambodia and its region
• Strengthen Cambodia’s cultural and educational structures and integrate Cambodian scholars in regional and international exchange
• Promote a vigorous civil society
