  • Economic Empowerment for All: an Examination of Women's
    Empowerment for all: an examination of women’s experiences and perceptions of economic empowerment in Maha Sarakham, Thailand A thesis submitted to the Graduate School Of the University of Cincinnati In partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Master of Community Planning In the School of Planning In the College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning by Amber David B.A. The College of New Jersey March 2017 Committee Chair: David Edelman, Ph.D. Committee Member: Carolette Norwood, Ph.D. Abstract The year of 2015 was the culmination of the Millennium Development Goals, and the launch of the Sustainable Development Goals. Both the MDGs and SDGs recognize gender equality as a basic human right that, when coupled with women's empowerment, provides a vehicle for poverty eradication and economic development. This renewed global agenda sets the stage for the focus of this research: the investigation of the lived experience of women in northeastern Thailand as a window into their sense of economic empowerment. Via snowball sourcing, fifteen women in Maha Sarakham, Thailand were selected to participate in the study. Through in-depth interviews the researcher discovered that the Isan women of Maha Sarakham have used soft power to empower themselves in the short term and are leveraging higher education to create opportunities for the generations of women empowerment they are raising and influencing.

  • Prevalence of Intestinal Parasitic Infection and Associated Risk Factors
    Punsawad et al. BMC Public Health (2017) 17:564 DOI 10.1186/s12889-017-4486-2 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Prevalence of intestinal parasitic infection and associated risk factors among village health volunteers in rural communities of southern Thailand Chuchard Punsawad1,2*, Nonthapan Phasuk1,2, Suchirat Bunratsami1,2, Kanjana Thongtup1, Niramon Siripakonuaong1,2 and Somchok Nongnaul3 Abstract Background: Intestinal parasitic infections remain prevalent and constitute a public health problem in certain rural areas of Thailand. Village health volunteers (VHVs), who are members of a Thai healthcare alliance, function as key providers of health prevention measures, disease control, and health education and share national health promotion campaigns with community members. This study is aimed at evaluating the prevalence, intensity, and risk factors for intestinal parasitic infection in VHVs in order to design community awareness and health education campaigns for the target population. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted between January to April 2016 among village health volunteers (VHVs) from four sub-districts of Nopphitam District, Nakhon Si Thammarat Province, southern Thailand. Subjects for the study were selected using a simple random sampling method. Socio-demographic variables and risk factors were collected by a structured questionnaire. Stool specimens were collected and processed using direct wet mount and formol-ether concentration techniques to determine the presence of parasites and modified Kato-Katz thick smear to determine the intensity of infection. Results: A total of 324 VHVs were enrolled. The overall prevalence of intestinal helminths was 9.3% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 6.3–13.0). The prevalence of hookworm, Strongyloides stercoralis,andTrichuris trichiura were 8.0% (95% CI: 5.

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.

Through MASHAV, Israel shares its collective knowledge in agriculture, technology, education and health with the rest of the world. Our comparative advantage in these CONTENTS fields has allowed us to help others look for creative and innovative solutions to basic development problems.

  • Participatory Planning in Municipal Development in Thailand
    Participatory Planning in Municipal Development in Thailand vorgelegt von Master of Architecture Pondej Chaowarat aus Thailand von der Fakultät VI – Planen Bauen Umwelt der Technischen Universität Berlin zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades Doktor der Ingenieurwissenschaften - Dr.-Ing. - genehmigte Dissertation Promotionsausschuss: Vorsitzender: Prof. Dr. P. Herrle Berichterin: Prof. Dipl. Ing. E. Pahl-Weber Berichter: Prof. Dr. A. Atkinson Tag der wissenschaftlichen Aussprache: 12. Februar 2010 Berlin 2010 D 83 Abstract This dissertation offers a full understanding of the extent of participatory planning in Thai municipalities within the context of a highly centralized state and dominance of local business people in public decision determination. In this ‘alternative’ mode of planning, various interests groups determine their local development plans collectively. Essentially, such planning aims to provide a political sphere of different groups of interests within the current pluralistic society. The research examines outcomes of the decentralization process regarding: municipal ability for local development planning; the legal framework promoting citizen participation in local public decisions; attitudes of local politicians (who are essentially business people) towards participatory planning; and the contributions of local associations in municipal development, particularly the local planning system. The study finds that highly centralized state policy undermines the local planning system. Municipalities have insufficient necessities (authority, duties, resources) for performing their local planning effectively. In the legal framework, the government aims to use citizen participation to obtain information from the grassroots, rather than collective public decision determination. All significant public decisions remain within representative forms (municipal executives and councils). In local politics, local business elites dominate Thai municipalities and manipulate citizen participation for their personal benefits.
