Summary. From the answers to questions, 47.5 % of answerers are farmers corresponding to Lamphun Office of Labor’s data having shown that the important occupation of Lamphun province is agriculture such as rice farming and Longan gardening as a key sector of Lamphun economy. Besides this, there are laboring and household industries. As a result of analyzing data and water use, it is found that water is mostly used for consumption and agriculture. This is an indication that rural public infrastructure, particularly the project’s area, is not enough; therefore, people have to rely on water from River Ping. If flood or drought occurs, it will have an impact on people living in the area. 5. Quantitative data from other authorities to support research results. From 4.1.3 Satisfaction level towards working No.7 ‘Activities of the project include resolution of flood and drought’ is the average of 4.52 (very high) and No.13 ‘The project to develop the upper River Ping Basin corresponds to people needs truly’ on the average of 4.53.

  • Contesting Rights Over Land: a Case Study of Landless Farmers' Social
    A paper for Politics of the Commons: Articulating Development and Strengthening Local Practices, Chiang Mai, Thailand, July 11-14, 2003 Contesting Rights over Land: A Case Study of Landless Farmers’ Social Movement in Lamphun Province By Yuki Miyake Chiang Mai University Introduction In the past few decades, due to the intervention of the state and the market, more and more local people's struggles over access to resources, and related resistance have become the public in the 'Third World' (Robles 2001, Moore 1994, Kerkvliet 1993, Vandergeest 1993). Today’s landless farmers' movement over land and rights in Lamphun province, northern Thailand, is one of these. How the hegemonic ideology and structure is constructed in the northern Thailand in a way that leads to local farmers’ struggles, and how ideologically subordinate people respond to such hegemony through social movements is the subject of this study (Escober 1995 and 1984, Scott 1985, Gramsci 1974). By forming a social movement as their own discourse, the farmers contest the dominant discourse and claim their own ideas and values. I call these claims and actions by subordinate people against the dominant groups 'contestation.' In this paper, I would like to examine how landless farmers form their discourse and contest rights over land by combining a political ecology approach in a macro perspective with an ethnographic approach in a micro perspective. In the past, when land was abundant in Thailand, land did not have so much value and labor was considered more important than land under the tributary system (Kemp 1981, Vandergeest and Peluso 1995). However, since the Western ideas of nation-state sovereignty, of a legal system, and of market oriented structure were brought from the West at the end of nineteenth century, the situation has completely changed.

With the loss of my great mentor, I struggled to overcome the emptiness of my heart and to find new sources of the inspiration and sharpness he used to provide. The final stages of my writing were filled with regret that I lost him too early before I could appreciate him both as a friend and an intellectual peer. His absence made me realize what a great teacher he was to me and how well I was taken care of by him. I dedicate this thesis to him. Through this sorrowful period, many people stood behind me, shared my sadness and encouraged me to carry on my work. Above all, I am deeply grateful to Saroja Dorairajoo for taking over the supervisory role and wonderfully guiding my study in the remaining period. I am very thankful to Hing Ai Yun for her dedicated care throughout my years at NUS and particularly at the final stage. I also thank the other two members of my thesis committee. Carl Grundy-Warr shared my grief at losing his good friend and was a great help towards the completion of this thesis.
