In 2011, however, Thailand suffered a severe flood, and that means the country’s water management was not successful. Maetaeng watershed is another area that has been receiving a lot of funding to develop and solve the problem of water resources in the area continuously. Still, it was also found that the projects and budgets spent still cannot fix the problems of water resources in the area. This study aims to analyze the events, problems, and factors that can lead to the process development of integrated water resources management in Mae Taeng watershed area, Chiang Mai province. This qualitative study workshop was conducted by collecting basic information, setting a discussion panel for water users, and a workshop to brainstorm for the ideas of water management. The findings showed important factors positively affect the strength of the community, cooperation in water management of the community, and the sacrifices of strong community leaders. The negative impacts include the deforestation of certain ethnic groups, cultural diversity, a lack of awareness in the role of community leaders, as well as insufficient funding.

  • The Genus Habenaria (Orchidaceae) in Thailand INTRODUCTION
    THAI FOR. BULL. (BOT.), SPECIAL ISSUE: 7–105. 2009. The genus Habenaria (Orchidaceae) in Thailand HUBERT KURZWEIL1 ABSTRACT. The taxonomy of the Thai species of the largely terrestrial orchid genus Habenaria Willd. is reviewed. Forty-six species are recognised. H. humidicola Rolfe, H. poilanei Gagnep. and H. ciliolaris Kraenzl. are newly recorded for Thailand based on a single collection each, although the identifi cation of the latter two is uncertain. An aberrant specimen of H. viridifl ora (Rottler ex Sw.) Lindl. is pointed out. H. erichmichaelii Christenson is reduced to synonymy under H. rhodocheila Hance. Several diffi cult and geographically widespread species complexes are identifi ed and the need for future studies of all of the available material over the entire distribution range is emphasized. Based on the herbarium and spirit material examined here the following distribution pattern emerged: about 53 % of all collections of Thai Habenaria species were made in northern Thailand (although this may partly be due to collector’s bias) and about 15 % in north-eastern Thailand, while only between 4.5 and 7.5 % come from each of the other fl oristic regions of the country. In addition, an assessment of the conservation status has been made in all species. The present study will form the basis for a later contribution to the Flora of Thailand. KEY WORDS: Habenaria, Orchidaceae, Thailand, conservation, identifi cation, morphology, systematics. INTRODUCTION Habenaria Willd. is a largely terrestrial orchid genus placed in subfamily Orchidoideae (Pridgeon et al., 2001). The genus currently accounts for about 600 species making it by far the largest in the subfamily.

  • Constraints to Organic Vegetable Production in Chiang Mai, Thailand
    ➔ CMU.J.Nat.Sci.Special Issue on Agricultural & Natural Resources (2012) Vol.11 (1) 33 Constraints to Organic Vegetable Production in Chiang Mai, Thailand Nathitakarn Pinthukas* Department of Agricultural Economics and Agricultural Extension, Faculty of Agriculture, Chiang Mai University, Chiang Mai 50200, Thailand *Corresponding author. E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT There are several vegetable production systems in Chiang Mai, including conventional, safe-use, pesticide-free, and organic. Recently the number of farmers who cultivate organic vegetables is increasing. The farming systems concerned with health and environmental quality are popularly called alternative farming systems. Nevertheless, this approach cannot be achieved for all farmers. Some of them switch back to chemical production because of pest and disease problems. The objectives of the research are to explore the current constraints to organic vegetable production and marketing, and to investigate the future opportunities for organic vegetable production in Chiang Mai, Thailand. The data was collected through farmer inter- views with the questionnaire from farmers in the target areas. The data was analyzed by using descriptive analysis. The results showed that constraints to organic vegetable production consist of 1) bio-physical constraints, such as low soil fertility, water shortage, and pests, 2) economic constraints which include the high material cost, high labor cost, high transportation cost, and market access, 3) knowledge constraints which are lack of understanding and management skills about pest and disease management, crop-environment, added value from farm processing and postharvest management, and 4) social constraints, such as lack of experience or skill in group negotiation for marketing. Key words: Organic vegetable production, Organic system constraints, Chiang Mai INTRODUCTION Conventional farming has helped Thailand not only to produce enough food for domestic consumption but also generate surpluses for exports.

The project had been held in Yamaguchi, Tokyo, and finally will be coming to Chiang Mai and Bangkok as its final destination. This project examines the social transformations occurring in the layers of time that lie between maps as it explores the "living geo-bodies" shaped by the ongoing accumulation of human activity. The program will include lecture and lecture performance by artists and researchers from Southeast Asia and Japan based on their own unique research into the history, culture, politics, economics, folkways, and other social phenomena of their respective countries.

  • Introduction
    LAHU TRADE AND COMMERCE by San it Wongspraset·t * Introduction This article describes the trading and commercial activities of the Lahu Nyi 1 villagers of Pang Fan village community in the hills of Phrao District, Chiang Mai Province, northern Thailand2. These villagers are taken by the author to be fairly representative of the 16,389 Lahu hill people, who live in Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Lampang, Mae Hong Son and Tak Provinces3. The Lahu Nyi system of kinship is bilateral or cognatic4. A village or small cluster of neighbouring villages comprises the basic political unit (Walker, 1969: 44). Like other highland peoples, the villagers under study practise swidden agricultures. Their agriculture is mainly concerned with the production of food, both for local consumption and for exchange; rice, chilli and opium are the major crops with vegetables, melons, spices and tobacco as minor catch-crops. Fowl, pigs, cattle and water buffaloes are commonly found in the village. The Lahu keep their livestock as prestige commodities and for cash income. The Lahu exchange produce among themselves and with other ethnic groups. Trade and comme.rce play a very important role in the relationship between the Lahu and neighbouring peoples. *Senior Researcher, Tribal Research Centre, Chiang Mai.
