  • Thailand's Progress on the Elimination of The
    Thailand’s Progress on the Elimination of the Worst Forms of Child Labor: 2015 1) Prevalence and Sectoral Distribution of Child Labor 1.1 In what sectors or activities were children involved in hazardous activities or other worst forms of child labor? For all sectors, please describe the work activities undertaken by children. In particular, if children were engaged in forestry, manufacturing, construction, fishing, agriculture, and street work, please provide information on the specific activities (within the sector) children engage in. Please also explain the hazards for any sector in which the dangerous nature of the work activities may otherwise be unclear to the lay person (four further explanation, please HAZADOUS ACTIVITIES and WORST FORMS OF CHILD LABOR in the Definitions section). Answer: According to the Office of the National Economic and Social Development Board Thailand witnessed a reduction in the population of children ages 0-17 years from the years 2010-2015. In 2015 there were roughly 14.48 million children between 0-17 years, a reduction compared to 15.42 million in 2010 and 14.86 million in 2013. On the other hand, Thailand found an increase in the number of students enrolled in the national education system, from 4.99 million students enrolled in 2000 up to 5.33 million students in 2013. These factors have contributed to a reduction of working children in the labor force. In this regard, the Department of Labour Protection and Welfare (DLPW) examined quarterly data of Thailand’s labor force status survey1. In the 3rd quarter of 2015, there were 38.77 million people in the labor force or available for work.

In this study, satellite images were utilized to study the spatial and temporal shoreline changes of the Bang Pakong District, Bang Pakong Subdistrict, Chachoengsao Province, Thailand in 2009-2018. The shoreline is approximately 1.95 km long, with the transect divided along longitude every 10.81 m. This research aims at analyzing and evaluating the spatial and temporal dynamics of coastal positions and their geometry in assessing the spatial dynamics of the behavior of coastal systems. Satellite imagery from Google Earth Pro with its image processing has been used in mathematical and statistical analysis to describe shoreline changes over time. This includes Shoreline Front Mean (SFM), Shoreline Change Envelope (SCE), Net Shoreline Movement (NSM), End Point Rate (EPR), and Linear Regression Rate (LRR).

  • Land Use Change and Its Impacts on Water Pumping in Bang Pakong River Basin, Thailand
    DOUBT project Land Use Change and its Impacts on Water Pumping in Bang Pakong River Basin, Thailand by Supaporn Pannon May 2018 1 ABSTRACT Water resources management is a key issue for rational study in the Bang Pakong river basin. There is an increasing need to plan water use in Thailand, due to increased water requirements from various sectors. The purpose of this study was to assess land use change and agricultural water requirements in Bang Pakong river basin, Thailand. It also investigated the data of public organizations and projected the trend of land and water in the future. Spatial tools and in-depth interviews were applied in this study. Classified images from Landsat TM between 2002-2016 were conducted. Calculated water requirements for irrigation of rice and production of fish and shrimp crops in water assessment part then built a main scenario for land use changes and agricultural water requirements in the future. Over the past 15 years, farming of perennial crops and aquaculture have been increasing while paddy field, field crop, and orchard have been decreasing. In terms of crop water requirement in the dry season, irrigated rice requires approximately 5,500 m3 per hectare while fish and shrimp farming requires 7,200 m3 per hectare. In a main business-as-usual scenario, rainfed rice will keep on decreasing while perennial crop will be increasing in the next 10 years. Main changes in terms of water requirements will probably come from the non-agricultural sector in the future. INTRODUCTION The Bang Pakong river basin has an area around 10,707 km2.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 3 Abstract This study charts the evolution of government attitudes and policies towards gambling in Siam between the 1880s and 1945. Based on the assertion that gambling was a social evil that impoverished the population, encouraged crime, and retarded economic development, successive regimes sought to reduce and regulate the scope for legal gambling. This was expressed most concretely through a series of increasingly restrictive and punitive laws, which prohibited many popular forms of gambling and subjected others to strict licensing. Consequently, there was an increase in illegal gambling. In essence, gambling went from being a state acceptable activity to one that was criminal unless conducted within certain strict parameters.
