INTRODUCTION Thai society in the past three decades since the first national economic and social development plan (1960- 1964) has experienced rapid economic growth. For example the GNP in 1961 compared to 1995 was 2,100 Baht and 68,000 Baht respectively, this indicates a 7.8 % increase per annum. Although this development achieves the objectives set for economic growth within the successive plans the focus is very much been upon Bangkok and the neighbouring provinces. The income per capita for Bangkok residents are much higher than for residents of any other region, especially the northeastern region where the average income per person is approximately 12 times lower. As a result of this development the last census indicates that Thailand now has a total population in excess of 60,817,000 people (1997) with 73.2% living in rural areas. The output from these development plans has focused primarily upon infrastructure construction, provision of facilities and social services. For example the expansion of electricity in the urban and suburban areas now reaches 97.7% of residents. Drinking water reaches 75% and transportation between villages now connects 32% of residential areas from the smallest village to the largest town. To date the total length of surfaced roads reaches 210,025 kilometres. The population receives a basic education system which is enjoyed by 97.7%, and the average life expectancy has increased from 63 years in 1960 to 67.3 years today. An additional, although less desired result of these development plans is that Thai society has become more materialistic. The gap between the rich and the poor has widened. Traditional morals, ethics, disciplines, social values, cultures and lifestyles, have gradually been eroded. Additionally a depletion of natural resources and basic natural environmental services have been consumed as production materials for this industrial development process. Forest area has been reduced in excess of 160,000 hectares per year. This development has emphasised upon the needs of cities. The plans have improved the quality of life for city dwellers but provided negative environmental impacts for the rural majority. Therefore this development has focused upon growth and ignored good management of natural resources and the environment to the detriment of facilitating sustainable development in the future. Page 3 of 27 In response to these problems the eighth National Economic and Social Development Plan (1997-2001), has emphasised human resource development. A universal objective of the plan being the promotion of public participation and co-operation with local organisations, including NGO’s, as indicated in the summary statement which states; 1. Supporting people to participate in social, economic and quality of life development. 2. Supporting the strength of communities for stable and sustainable development. 3. Supporting NGO’s, the private sector, communities and the public to participate in the process of utilisation of natural resources and the environment. 1.1 The Northeastern region The Northeast of Thailand comprises one third of the whole country and is subdivided into 19 provinces. From a cultural point of view, this region is one of the most interesting. However economically speaking it is the most problematic. The population in 1996 exceeded 20 million people which constitutes 33% of the entire population. This region has the lowest average per capita income for the country. The soil used for agriculture is mostly sandy and generally poor, with rife deforestation worsening already poor environmental conditions. The region also suffers badly from droughts. Under these conditions the largely agricultural population cannot produce adequate foodstuffs, even for their own consumption. Debt and a high malnutrition rate for children characterise the present population. Today many people from the Northeast form the largest group of labour migrants who look for seasonal work in Bangkok and other developing cities, during the agriculturally inactive dry season. This factor combined with the economic downturn of 1997 and the poor agricultural productivity bodes ill for the sustainable development of this region in the future. The region whose present inhabitants are amongst the most accommodating and good-natured people in the kingdom. Table 1: Basic Statistics for the Regions of Thailand.

It Page 4 of 27 comprises a large plateau which is almost square; the Mekong river encircles the north and east. The region is further demarcated by the Phanom Dongrak range to the south which forms the border with Cambodia and the Phetchabun range to the west which separates the Northeast of Thailand from the central plains. This plateau contains two main river basins. The Sakhon Nakhon basin of the Songkhram river and the Korat basin with the rivers Chi and Moon, all of which ultimately flow east into the Mekong river. The entire plateau forms a saucer shape which gently slopes south eastwards from the highest points in the Phetchabun range at 1,000-1,600 meters to the riverbank of the Mekong at approximately 150 meters. Politically the Northeastern region is bounded by Laos PDR to the north and east and by Cambodia to the south. Indeed the region was once claimed by both these kingdoms, a fact well recorded by the wealth of historic Laotian and especially Khmer remnants across the region. Present day inhabitants speak a northeastern Thai dialect which is similar to the Lao language in the northern area and Khmer in the south. 1.3 The future for the Northeast The Northeastern region is the poorest region of Thailand in almost every respect except perhaps resident population. The Northeast is the hottest and driest region in Thailand with the poorest soils. This physical environment when combined with the current economic depression predicts a serious situation for the future of this region. With the economy effecting a return of seasonal labour to their villages in search of a livelihood a further depletion of already dwindling natural resources and increased social problems can be predicted for this region in the near future. 1.4 Thai NGO Development strategies Thai NGOs adhere to the local development strategy model. throughout the last decade Thai NGOs have expressed their view that development must be people centred. In summary today there are five strategies for development; 1. People Participation in development at the village level by organising a learning process between people and people, between community and community. It is an experience learning process when people have the opportunity to visit and study from each other and to examine future possibilities to apply to their own problems. This participatory process also strengthens the village unit, forging links between villagers to strengthen the sense of community, additionally the community leaders responsibility increases and their sense of belonging and providing for their friends increases. This process ultimately develops local community groups into local community organisations which become the focus for problem solving and assistance at the village/community level. 2. Search for lessons and alternatives for social development together.

  • Motivations and Resources of Small-Scale Farmers for Staying in Their Village in Northeast Thailand
    Journal of Asian Rural Studies, 2019, 3(1): 35-47 ISSN: 2548-3269 Published by Hasanuddin University and Asian Rural Sociology Association MOTIVATIONS AND RESOURCES OF SMALL-SCALE FARMERS FOR STAYING IN THEIR VILLAGE IN NORTHEAST THAILAND Masatoshi Uehara Keio Research Institute at SFC, 5322 Endo, Fujisawa, Kanagawa, 252-0882, Japan. E-mail: [email protected] Citation: Uehara, M., 2019. Reasons for Staying on: Motivation and Resources of Small-scale Farmers in Rural Northeast Thailand. J. Asian Rur. Stud. 3(1): 35-47 Abstract: This study aims to examine one simple question: Why do some small-scale farmers in rural, northeast Thailand keep staying on in their villages despite the fact that they could earn a much higher income if they worked in urban areas? To answer this question, this study which is based on first-hand observations from nine years of intensive fieldwork in rural, northeast Thailand provides a detailed description of the small-scale farmers’ resources that enable them to sustain a living and also provides them motivations to stay in their village. The decision to stay on in the village and forgo the option to move out in pursuit of a higher income may seem irrational in the opinion of economists. However, the author, by employing the “capability approach” argument by A. Sen, argues that their behaviour could be understood as efforts of pursuing “lives worth living” (as expressed in his later work as an architect of the UN’s “human security” program) and not solely profit maximisation. Their efforts include establishing “community groups” and practising “sustainable agriculture” including “organic farming” and “integrated farming”.

  • Evidence from the Garment Industry in Northeast Thailand
    UNIVERSITY OF WAIKATO Hamilton New Zealand The Business of Social Responsibility: Evidence from the Garment Industry in Northeast Thailand Steven Lim and Michael P. Cameron Department of Economics Working Paper in Economics 25/07 December 2007, revised May 2008 Steven Lim Economics Department University of Waikato Private Bag 3105 Hamilton, New Zealand. Email: [email protected] Web: http://www.mngt.waikato.ac.nz Michael P. Cameron Economics Department and Population Studies Centre University of Waikato Hamilton, New Zealand Email: [email protected] Web: http://www.mngt.waikato.ac.nz Abstract Many business managers demonstrate a reluctance to engage fully with corporate social responsibility (CSR). They often perceive CSR as a cost and their CSR activities tend to be piecemeal and defensive. Such suboptimal outcomes can stem from a failure to appreciate a firm’s social assets. We suggest that firms have the potential to engage much more fully with CSR, in a manner that is consistent with a profit-maximizing approach to business. But managers need help in both gaining an awareness of the social contributions that they can make and in navigating their way through CSR issues. To this end, we outline a program of four-Ds, namely dialogue, data, design and delivery, to assist managers integrate CSR issues into their overall business strategies. Our case study of the garment industry in Thailand illustrates how CSR issues can be leveraged to increase worker productivity and deliver positive social and community health outcomes, despite operating in an area that is often subject to criticism.

This presents a serious health problem in northeastern and northern Thailand. A community base approach is required for surveillance. Therefore, in a pilot project, re-examination of O. viverrini infection was conducted in the 3 districts of Nakhon Ratchasima province, Thailand, during June and October 2015. A total of 355 participants from a 194,152 population, was selected through multi-stage sampling. O. viverrini infection was determined using modified Kato Katz thick smear technique. Participants were 229 males and 126 females, and aged ≥30 years old. Prevalence of O. viverrini infection was 2.25% (8/355 participants). O. viverrini infection was slightly higher in females (3.17%), and age group between 41-50 years (4.49%). Mueang Yang district had a highest of O. viverrini infection rate (2.82%), and followed by Bua Yai (2.48%), and Chum Phuang (1.84%), respectively. O. viverrini infection rate was increased from year 2012 to 2015 particularly in Bua Yai and Mueang Yang.

Active surveillance in rural communities with an appropriat low-cost screening tool is required to facilitate early detection. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the population at risk of CCA in Bua Yai district, Nakhon Ratchasima province, Northeastern Thailand using the Korat-CCA verbal screening test (KCVST) during June to October 2015. Reliability of KCVST demonstrated a Cronbach alpha coefficient=0.75 Stepwise-multiple regression showed that alcohol consumption was important for CCA screened, followed by agriculture and pesticide use, under-cooked cyprinoid fish consumption, praziquantel use, naïve northeastern people, opisthorchiasis, family relatives with CCA, and cholangitis or cholecystitis or gallstones, respectively. Population at risk for CCA was classified to low risk (63.4%), moderate risk (33.7%), and high risk (1.32%) for CCA. When CCA was screened using ultrasonography, 4 of 32 high risk participants had an abnormal biliary tract with dilated bile ducts.
