NUNTIYA HUTANUWATR, Ph.D. KEYWORDS : COMPANION MODELLING APPROACH / PARTICIPATORY MONITORING AND EVALUATION / INTEGRATED FARMING / LEARNING EFFECT / CAPACITY BUILDING Companion modelling (ComMod), a participatory research approach, was used to better understand the complex interaction among land, water and labour management in the rainfed lowland rice ecosystem of the Lam Dom Yai watershed, Ubon Ratchathani province. Eleven local farming households took part in five field workshops spanning a period of four years from 2005 to 2008 at Ban Mak Mai village, Klang sub-district, Det Udom district. They were divided into three farm types of size: small (type A); medium (type B); large (type C). The main tools used were role-playing games (RPG) and agent-based models (ABM). This research was one part of the main research project mentioned. It was conducted to: 1) monitor and evaluate the different types of ComMod effects on the participants; 2) test a proposed monitoring and evaluation (M&E) methodology; and 3) make recommendations to improve that methodology and the local use of ComMod. The M&E process was conducted throughout the ComMod activities over three years (2006 to 2008). Data were gathered by integrating qualitative research methodology: participatory observation, individual interview, and story telling. Qualitative analysis was done to compare ComMod’s effects on households, farm types, a Tambon Administrative Officer (TAO) and government agency. V The results showed that 1) the ComMod participatory approach that combines computer simulations and role-playing game tools was able to facilitate collective sharing of knowledge, ideas, and perceptions between local farmers and the researchers. 2) the ComMod approach helped the participants to improve their farming knowledge and to improve their understanding of other participants’ perceptions and situations. 3) Knowledge acquisition on water issues has led to changes in farming practice and improved use of water. 4) With regards to ComMod’s specific tools, RPGs provided a detailed account of RLR transplanting and encouraged a ‘learning by doing’ approach. However, some elderly participants found the RPG complex and confusing. 5) The ABMs easily enabled the participants to use their imaginations and generate ideas, but the ABM’s features were deemed by some participants to be too theoretical, and thus more suited to younger farmers. And 6) The non-farmer participants, the TAO representative learned a new methodology for collective decision-making useful for planning and the government agency learned about organizing a ComMod workshop for collective sharing of ideas with villagers. It is recommended that, in order to improve the use of ComMod for integrated farming and sustainable renewable resource management more effectively, the collaboration among the participants would increase if they took part in problem analysis sessions and in preparing supporting tools. Also, new participants should participate in a RPG at least two times before taking part in the ABM.

While large areas of forestlands were designated as national forest reserves, many forests were actually converted into farmlands. This article focuses on the institutional and administrative aspects of the national forest reserve system, the core institution of forest conservation in Thailand, and examines the institutional structure, historical process mostly since the ῍῔ῒῌs, and procedures of the national forest reserve system and related policies at both in national and local levels. The national forest reserve system institutionally lacked suffi- cient mechanisms for enforcement and, because local people’s land use was not in- vestigated in advance, the contradiction arose that large numbers of people resided and cultivated land in national forest reserves. While occasionally policies to give cultivation rights to these people were carried out, designation of national forest reserves continued without any structural amendments, and the contradiction was perpetuated. In the procedures of forest protection units, the sole organ for on-the-spot policing, breaches were sometimes overlooked in order to balance the regulations and actual situation of the local people’s livelihood. Forest officers are basically faithful to their tasks, even though they know the system itself substantially fails to function.

Forest officers are basically faithful to their tasks, even though they know the system itself substantially fails to function. But they also behave in realistic and flexible ways in applying principles that are far from appropriate to the actual situations they encounter. Institutionalization and activation of such an unrealistic system can also be interpreted as creating a wide range of discretion, which has enabled realistic forest conservation to be carried out as far as possible in the prevailing social or political climate without much friction.
