In the post-independence period, comprehensive population and housing censuses were only successfully undertaken in 1973, 1983 and most recently in April 2014. Censuses are an important source of benchmark information on the characteristics of the population and households in every country. One unique feature of a census is its ability to provide information down to the lowest administrative level. Such information is vital for planning and evidence based decision-making at every level. Additional data uses include allocation of national resources; the review of administrative boundaries; the positioning of social infrastructures, drawing national development plans, service provision and developing social infrastructure, and for humanitarian preparedness and response. The results of the 2014 Census have been published so far in a number of volumes. The first was the Provisional Results released in August 2014. The Census Main Results were launched in May 2015. These included The Union Report, Highlights of the Main Results, and reports of each of the 15 States and Regions. The reports on Occupation and Industry and Religion were launched in March 2016 and July 2016, respectively. All the publications are available online at http://www.dop.gov.mm/ and http:// myanmar. unfpa.org/node/15104. The current set of the 2014 Census publications comprise township and sub-township reports. Their preparation involved collaborative efforts of the Department of Population and UNFPA. This report contains selected demographic and socio-economic characteristics of Myitta Sub-Township in Tanintharyi Region. The information included in this report is the situation of 2014 March 29, Census night. Township level information is very important. However, the level of confidence of township estimates is not the same as Union level information. Some of the townships have relatively small populations; the interpretation of these estimates should be made with caution.

  • Return Assessments - Tanintharyi Region Myanmar South East Operation - UNHCR Hpa-An 31 August 2014
    Return Assessments - Tanintharyi Region Myanmar South East Operation - UNHCR Hpa-An 31 August 2014 Background information Since June 2013, UNHCR has been piloting a system to assess spontaneous returns in the Southeast of Myanmar, a process that may start in the absence of an organized Voluntary Repatriation operation. Total Assessments 71 A verified return village, therefore, is a village where UNHCR field staff have confirmed there are refugees and/or IDPs who have returned since January 2012 with the intention of remaining Verified Return Villages permanently. During the assessments, communities are also asked whether their village is a refugee 26 village of origin, by definition a village that is home to people residing in a refugee camp in Thailand. A village where UNHCR completes an assessment can be both a verified return village and a refugee Refugee Villages of Origin 37 village of origin, as the two are not mutually exclusive. Using a “do no harm” approach based around community level discussion, the return assessment collect information about the patterns and needs of returnees in the Southeast. The project does not, however, attempt to represent the total number of returnees in a state, or the region as a whole. The returnee monitoring project has been underway in Kayah State, Mon State and Tanintharyi Region since June 2013, and expanded to Kayin State in December 2013.

  • Contributions to the Flora of Myanmar Ii: New Records of Eight Woody Species from Tanintharyi Region, Southern Myanmar
    NAT. HIST. BULL. SIAM SOC. 63(1): 47–56, 2018 CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE FLORA OF MYANMAR II: NEW RECORDS OF EIGHT WOODY SPECIES FROM TANINTHARYI REGION, SOUTHERN MYANMAR Shuichiro Tagane1,2*, Nobuyuki Tanaka3, Mu Mu Aung4, Akiyo Naiki5 and Tetsukazu Yahara1 ABSTRACT The fieldwork carried out in Tanintharyi Region in 2016 resulted in the discovery of eight unrecorded angiosperms among the flora of Myanmar. They are Mitrephora winitii Craib (Annonaceae), Argyreia roseopurpurea (Kerr) Ooststr. (Convolvulaceae), Diospyros bejaudii Lecomte (Ebenaeae), Cladogynos orientalis Zipp. ex Span. (Euphorbiaceae), Callicarpa furfuracea Ridl. (Lamiaceae), Memecylon paniculatum Jack (Melastomataceae), Ardisia congesta Ridl. (Primulaceae) and Coelospermum truncatum (Wall.) Baill. ex K. Schum. (Rubiaceae). In each of the species, voucher specimens, the general distribution and photographs are presented. Keywords: angiosperm, flora, Myanmar, new record, Tanintharyi, woody plant INTRODUCTION The Tanintharyi Region (formerly Tenasserim), located at the northwestern part of the Thai–Malay Peninsula, is a part of the Indo–Burma biodiversity hotspot, with the Indochinese– Sundaic flora and fauna transition (MYERS ET AL., 2000; TORDOFF ET AL., 2012). The area is still predominantly forested, ca. 80% of a total land area of 43,000 km2, but recently large areas have been selectively logged and converted to agricultural land (CONNETTE ET AL., 2016). The vegetation is diverse along with elevational gradients, heterogeneous landscapes and geologi- cal conditions including granite, sandstone, shale and spectacular karst limestone (DE TERRA, 1944; BENDER, 1983), which drove the diversification of plants to high endemism. In spite of the high value of biodiversity of the area, the area is poorly known botani- cally. It had not been surveyed for over 40 years until 1996, mainly because of the tumultuous history of the civil war and conflict at the end of World War II.

  • The Ancient City of Thagara: Cultural and Social Change in the Buddhist
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by SOAS Research Online 1 Dawei Buddhist culture: a hybrid borderland Myanmar Historical Research Journal (21) June 2011, pp.1-62 Elizabeth Moore 1 Dawei is both hybrid and borderland, its Buddhist culture a stylistic and territorial puzzle. Far from the ‗heartland‘ yet passed from one major polity to another over the centuries, its pagodas and monasteries provided a physical and aesthetic means to asserted distance and accommodate ‗other‘. Some objects and ideas were imported; others grafted the new onto local forms to produce hybrid styles, while others are uniquely local.2 Is Dawei culture similarity or a new unification of the cultural diversity of Pyu, Bagan, Sri Lanka, Sukhothai and Ayutthaya? This report argues the contrary, that Dawei resilience in the face of continual threats sustained a local cultural personality that has survived until the present. The question is addressed by first classifying the sites of Dawei into four cultural zones and then discussing the extraordinary range of artefacts from these zones by material.3 This is preceded by a chronological summary to illustrate the often turbulent history and local chronicles. Figure 1. Glazed wares from Sin Seik,circa 15-17th century CE, paintings by Myint Aung, Ministry of Culture, June 2010. Dawei urban and cultural significance The earliest illustration of the process of accommodation and separation described above can be seen in the ‗Dawei Pyu‘ of the first millennium CE. 4 The majority of these come from the large site of Thagara5 [/tha ga ra/] founded in 754 CE (116 ME), with the only text source being the Dawei chronicles.

Focusing on 9 projects of dam (from 12 projects), coal and economic land concessions in the Mekong region (and Myanmar), communities affected by Thai overseas investments have submitted complaints to National Human Rights Commission of Thailand (NHRCT) regarding adverse environment, and social impacts caused by Thai investments and human rights violations. The submission articulates legal loopholes and policy limitations that support the investments in a way that breach human rights especially the communities who live in the project area and nearby. In addition, the submission included policy recommendations that may contribute to enhancing accountability of the investors in order to compile with the universal principle of human rights and advancing human rights commitment beyond the borders (transnational human rights obligations) which is pragmatic and influential for policy change. The regulation aims to regulate Thai overseas investments in the neighboring countries.
