Phusit Phukamchanoad Department of Social Development Management, Faculty of Humanities and Social Science, Suan Sunandha Rajabhat University, Thailand [email protected] Received: 2019-12-23 Revised: 2019-12-21 Accepted: 2019-12-04 ABSTRACT This research aimed to study also analyzes public participation in resolving the problem of salt-water intrusion due to the rock salt field production and applies the sufficiency economy philosophy for everyday living. This research collected data by using questionnaires surveying 400 samples. According to the research results, Ban Dung District area has a long history going back 4,000 years the same as the Ban Chiang civilization. Formerly, it was an enormous forest with rubber trees, coconut trees, and many kinds of wild animals. Nowadays, there are salt fields in four districts consisting of Ban Dung District, Phon Sung District, Sri Sut Tho District, and Ban Chai District; the salt fields impacted Na Kham District, which is the “three waters” town. Most of the local people are farmers believing in Buddhism, living together for not less than 21 years. Therefore, when they needed to solve the problem of salt- water intrusion from rock salt field production, people actively participated and cooperated, especially in terms of acknowledgment, understanding, brainstorming, and sharing their opinions; however, they did not take any action. The operational participation is rated at the medium-to-low level. The personal and household operations in the activities based on the 294 วารสารวิจัยราชภัฏพระนคร สาขามนุษยศาสตรและสังคมศาสตร ปที่ 15 ฉบับที่ 1 (มกราคม - มิถุนายน 2563) theory of sufficiency economy are estimated at a high level. Furthermore, they should find a significant mechanism to mobilize “3 collaborations, four pillars, nine integrations, and one foundation” model, which is the condition under the theory of sufficiency economy for moving onto the sustainably happy civil state community in Scenario Building. The factors affecting the participation in solving the problems are people aged 51 years and more, agricultural and farmer, the period of living in the area is 30 years and more, social group, Landlords and landowners in the area. Keywords: public participation, social context, application of sufficiency economy philosophy, paddy fields and rock salt fields, Ban Dung District, Udon Thani Introduction The “Public participation” is an the social changes (Office of the National important instrument or approach for Economic and Social Development Board, Democratic world society’s sustainable 2011). This means, in the past decade, the development. Moreover, it is also one of the main goal of such plan still emphasizes processes targeting human development on “people” since the capable “local” as humans are the main mobilizer for global people can strengthen and sustain local development. Similarly, people should areas. Furthermore, Thailand highly gives have qualified instruments to support their importance to social capital; this can derive country’s developmental plan. The more of from social assembling, mutual thinking, participation of quality people, the higher and mutual cooperation, based on trust, quality achievement expectation. According relationships, and valuable culture in Thai to “human capital” development mentioned society which are accumulated through the in the Eleventh National Economic and relationship network consisting of citizens, Social Development Plan II, it is necessary institutions, culture, and knowledge; these to develop morality, lifelong learning, and are the sources of power in the community appropriate skills among Thai citizens and society (Khamman and colleagues, at different ages. It is also important to 2008: 5). The more social capital has, the strengthen social institutions and local more community and social power mobilize communities to recognize and adapt to the development. Phranakhon Rajabhat Research Journal (Humanities and Social Sciences) 295 Vol.15 No.1 (January - June 2020) In addition, we should pay attention hence, the public participation for arranging to “geosocial” because it effectively reinforces activities was usually successful due to the participation and empowerment of the local geosocial-based local development. local people in terms of development. This Development depended on the participation is one of the methods we have to consider of local people. This process gave the local for the local area’s development.

Therefore, social capital is a part of way It affected the environment both in a short of life that related to sufficient lifestyle run and a long run. Moreover, the role of which is fundamental for Thai society. This the local administrative organizations in empowered people to develop the balance regard to salt field management was unclear of social, economic, and cultural aspects because the salt fields were under several with the current capital in local areas; administrative organizations’ responsibilities. 296 วารสารวิจัยราชภัฏพระนคร สาขามนุษยศาสตรและสังคมศาสตร ปที่ 15 ฉบับที่ 1 (มกราคม - มิถุนายน 2563) The staffs were not adequate due to their most people used this canal for agriculture large areas.

People tend to put blame on fate and misfortune regarding wealth and investment, in fact, it is the human beings particularly driven by emotions that tend to make mistakes. As in the global financial crisis, it was the result of series of irrational behaviors, emotional and cognitive biases, made by people. This paper introduces basic concept of financial behaviors to see how emotional biases impact investment decisions and cause market inefficiencies as seen in the past financial history and what processes could be used to seize investment opportunity to stay on course of improving one’s investment returns. With financial markets around the world going through rapid and unprecedented changes, learning from past events could help us understand financial market today but not to predict the future. It is through continuous learning and knowing ones’ long term investment goal which will help investors avoid emotional mistakes experienced in past financial crisis and improve investment returns. KEYWORDS: financial bubbles, financial behaviors, investment goal, long term investment 1. INTRODUCTION In history lies wisdom, a lot could be learned from past economic and financial history. According to Galbraith, financial memory is “notoriously short,” and this paper will hence focus on looking back at a few of financial history economic crises and lessons to be learned for today investment.

As a result, the number of oil palm plantations in the Northeast region has been growing, particularly in Nong Khai province. Nong Khai is a relatively remote, predominantly agricultural area and is the field site for this research. However, oil palm production is a complex and hotly contested issue both globally and in Thailand and it has ardent critics and supporters. For example, expanding oil palm production could, on the one hand, contribute to deforestation and a range of social problems that threaten traditional livelihoods, whilst on the other hand it could offer a source of renewable energy, alleviate poverty, and lead to a higher standard of living for farmers.

  • Growth Stages of Newly Established Villages in Northeast Thailand: a Case Study on Villagers’ Origins in the Upper-Middle Watershed of the Songkhram River
    Growth stages of newly established villages in Northeast Thailand: A case study on villagers’ origins in the upper-middle watershed of the Songkhram River NAGATA Yoshikatsu Graduate School for Creative Cities, Osaka City University 3-3-138, Sugimoto, Sumiyoshi, Osaka 558-8585, Japan Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT The Songkhram River is one of the three major branches of the Mekong River in Northeast Thailand. According to topographic maps of the 1950s, villages were sparsely distributed in its middle and upper watershed, whereas villages were already densely distributed in the middle watershed of the other two major branches, the Chi River and the Mun River. So the watershed of the Songkhram River offered new land for farmers who eagerly desired their own farm land. Brief interviews with senior villagers of newly established villages in this area indicated that most of their original homes had been in the watershed of the Chi River and the Mun River. I conducted household-level surveys in three target villages in the middle and upper watershed of the Songkhram River to obtain information on migration history. Geographical analysis of three important places in their life, i.e., birth, marriage, and current places, suggests four stages in the growth of such new villages. While each of the four stages was of different duration, their pattern was almost similar among the three villages regardless of their location and year of establishment. This similarity may indicate a typical lifetime of a new rural village in this area. 1. INTRODUCTION Watershed of the Songkhram River covers eastern Udon Thani Province, eastern Nong Khai Province, most of Sakon Nakhon Province, and northern Nakhon Phanom Province.
