Proceedings of the Thematic Session Coordinating Committee for Geoscience Programmes in East and Southeast Asia (CCOP) Proceedings of the Thematic Session “Geoscience for the Society” 52nd CCOP Annual Session 31 Oct - 3 Nov 2016, The Berkeley Hotel, Bangkok, Thailand G c op o° 2ร 51 I * i % a \ FOR t Coordinating Committee for Geoscience Programmes in East and Southeast Asia (CCOP) Proceedings of the Thematic Session “Geoscience for the Society” nd 52 CCOP Annual Session 31 Oct - 3 Nov 2016, The Berkeley Hotel, Bangkok, Thailand th c cop \ Hit CCOP Est.1966 GeoscieÿG Preface The Thematic Session with theme “Geoscience for the Society” was held during the CCOP 52nd Annual Session on 1st of November 2016 at the Berkeley Hotel Pratunam, Bangkok, Thailand. The Session was noteworthy since it was held in conjunction with the 50th anniversary celebration of the founding of CCOP, in which prior to the conference, panel discussions and keynote presentations by eminent persons on the topic “Geoscience for the Society” had graced the opening. It is undeniable that the role of geoscience is invaluable in the current global environment and the challenges that the world is facing today and in the future. In line with the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and Paris Agreement on Climate Change, geoscience roles converge with the global agenda in bettering the lives of people while maximizing the scarce resources, and making full use of the digital network and its advancement for societal benefit. Better coordination across sectors, wise management of resources and effective communication on climate and geohazards information need to be done to support economic and social growth. Working together, strong partnership among stakeholders and enhanced human resource capability and networking form effective mechanisms towards sustainable development, without leaving anyone behind. The Thematic Session received overwhelming respond with the attendance of 400 participants. Three parallel sessions were conducted for the oral presentations, divided into geo-resources, geo-environment and geo-education sub-sessions. A total of 99 contributions were received from 13 countries (10 Member Countries, 3 Cooperating Countries), and one each from the Cooperating Organisation and the CCOP Technical Secretariat. 57 contributions were selected for oral presentations, while 42 for the poster session. The editors received 23 full manuscripts, and upon editing 20 were accepted for publication. Nonetheless at the final hour one manuscript requested to be withdrawn, meaning 19 manuscripts are published in this Proceeding of the Thematic Session, The manuscripts are divided into the following three groups: Geo-education Geo-environment Geo-resources The Thematic Session had provided avenue for the exchange and sharing of updated information, build networking and reunion of CCOP delegates of the participating MCs, CCs, COs and other representatives. It is hope that the papers published in this Proceeding will be useful reference for geoscientists, researchers, engineers, government officials, especially in the CCOP countries, towards improving and the betterment of the society as a whole.

AMDIS has raised the transparency of mineral information to mining companies and to the public. Moreover it also shows issues of data discontinuity and vacancy and will connection between user and server. To solve these issues we propose a new methodology of geological mapping. “Harmonization” that is to focus on and to re-compile discontinuities, essential to the creation of continuous datasets. We have applied the methodology to the field in west Cambodia, which lies within the Chantanaburi Terrane, the southern extension of the Sukhothai Arc Terranes, and the Indochina Terrane. ASTER GDEM delineates a continuous smooth surface and elongate and short length hills. The field survey identified that the smooth surface is alluvium and that the elongate hills in the south and short length hills in the north correspond to Permian limestone and to Triassic meta-sediments, respectively. Compiling datasets from AMDIS and field datasets registered by open-source GIS, we interpret that the line between the Permian limestone and the Triassic sediment corresponds to the suture of the Indochina Terrane and the Chantanaburi Terrane. The combination of remote-sensing technology and field survey and the utilization of the open-source GIS provide new methodology to the field in ASEAN where there are a number of data discontinuities and vacancies. Keywords: AMDIS, mineral information, GIS, harmonization, ASTER GDEM, ASEAN 1. Introduction Before World War II, mines in ASEAN were industrialized and well-organized, but more recently they have turned to be small-scale mines hardly controlled by the central governments. The main reasons for the change are international and domestic human conflicts. The reality is that there is now a small scale mining industry supporting the livelihoods of local people who work without licenses for many decades and appear to have an “informal resource ownership” arrangement. ASEAN prioritizes facilitating and enhancing trade and investment in minerals, promoting environmentally and socially sustainable mineral development. In order to realize these objectives, ASEAN governments are challenged to raise the transparency of mineral information available to mining companies and to the public. The ASEAN Mineral Database and Information System (AMDIS) established by ASEAN and Japanese cooperation create this transparency and enable the set-up of government controlled regulation. 1 Okubo et al., ASEAN Mineral Database and Information System (AMDIS) AMDIS was launched officially during the Fourth ASEAN Ministerial Meeting

Millions of people depend on it for agriculture and fishing, and accordingly it holds a special cultural significance. For 234 kilometers, the Mekong forms the border between Burma’s Shan State and Luang Nam Tha and Bokeo provinces of Laos. This stretch includes the infamous “Golden Triangle”, or where Burma, Laos and Thailand meet, which has been known for illicit drug production. Over 22,000 primarily indigenous peoples live in the mountainous region of this isolated stretch of the river in Burma. The main ethnic groups are Akha, Shan, Lahu, Sam Tao (Loi La), Chinese, and En. The Mekong River has a special significance for the Lahu people. Like the Chinese, we call it the Lancang, and according to legends, the first Lahu people came from the river’s source. Traditional songs and sayings are filled with references to the river. True love is described as stretching form the source of the Mekong to the sea. The beauty of a woman is likened to the glittering scales of a fish in the Mekong.

  • The Burma Army's Offensive Against the Shan State Army
    EBO The Burma Army’s Offensive Against the Shan State Army - North ANALYSIS PAPER No. 3 2011 THE BURMA ARMY’S OFFENSIVE AGAINST THE SHAN STATE ARMY - NORTH EBO Analysis Paper No. 3/2011 On 11 November 2010, a fire fight between troops of Burma Army Light Infantry Division (LID) 33 and Battalion 24 of the Shan State Army-North (SSA-N) 1st Brigade at Kunkieng-Wanlwe near the 1st Brigade’s main base, marked the beginning of the new military offensive against the ethnic armed groups in Shan and Kachin States. Tensions between the Burma Army and the ethnic groups, which had ceasefire agreements, started to mount after the Burma Army delivered an ultimatum in April 2009 for the groups to become Border Guard Forces. Prior to this, the Burma Army had always maintained that it did not have jurisdiction over political issues and that the groups could maintain their arms and negotiate with the new elected government for a political solution. Most of the larger ethnic groups refused to become BGFs, and in August 2009 the Burma Army attacked and seized control of Kokang (MNDAA), sending shock waves through the ethnic communities and the international community. Following the outcry, the Burma Army backed down and seemed content to let matters die down as it concentrated on holding the much publicized general elections on 7 November 2010. The attack against the SSA-N is seen was the first in a series of military offensives designed to fracture and ultimately destroy all armed ethnic opposition in the country’s ethnic borderlands.1 While the SSA-N lost its bases, this is unlikely to reduce its ability to conduct guerrilla operation against the Burma Army.

  • Introduce : Akha in Thailand
    Introduce : Akha in Thailand This article comes from the book- “study and the culture of Akha in Chiangrai: 8 groups of Akha tribe – 2003. Akha is the name of the people of a hilltribe that have their own language, beliefs, clothes and way of living. The 8 groups have basic similarities but some even have a different language; like the Ulow Akha and the Aker Akha, who do not understand each other. The 8 Akha groups of Thailand are: 1.Uloh Akha The Uloh Akha is a Thai Akha. This group was the first to move to the north of Thailand and stay, moving to DoiTung, Maefahluang. This group is very big and is mostly in Chiangrai, also moving to Chiangmai. The government gives 2 Thai Akhas the opportunity to develop their village; the Akha village at DoiSanjai, Maefahluang and the Akha village at Doisangow Chinagsan district. Chiangrai. 'Uloh' means a sharp hat, with the 'U' from Udoo meaning a sharp, high circle. The name is given to the Akha by the hat that they wear and this is a prominent group for their hats. The Thai Akha are a large number in Thailand with around 32,500 people spreading around the 5 provinces of Chiangrai, Chiangmai,Lamphang, Prae and Tak in the north of Thailand. Some of these people retain their traditional beliefs, respecting their ancestor spirits and others changed to buddism, Christianity and Islam. Sanjaroengao has the largest population of Akha people. The Uloh Akha language has become the standard between Akha people and is used to communicate between different groups.
