The study views that significant changes occur in implementation stages, especially at the local level These changes are influenced by the context in which policy is implemented Local official leaders who are responsible for implementing CPR management policies make decisions according to local contexts, and their decisions determine the achievement o f policies. Recent reforms in the organisational structure of natural resource management planning in Thailand were designed to allow local leaders to participate formally in planning, in order to meet the needs of the local people and to encourage more effective implementation. The research fieldwork was undertaken in two freshwater fishing villages in Southern Thailand by means of participant observation. The main fieldwork was undertaken in June 1993 until July 1994 in tandem with the collaborative project on floodplain fishery management between the University of Bath and the Prince of Songkla University. Some o f the data presented in this thesis was obtained through this project's fieldwork. Two local projects related to CPR management taking place in the study area were used as case studies for an in-depth analysis. The findings of this thesis show that although phu yai ban play a key role in implementing CPR management policies at the local level, there are several factors affecting their performances. These factors include historical backgrounds, socio­ economic conditions, and organisational arrangements of communities in which they are situated. Moreover, the conventional administrative arrangement and bureaucratic culture provide obstacles to their full involvement in planning and effective implementation of local CPR management projects. Conclusions are given on prospects of more sustainable local CPR management in Thailand ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am grateful to many people and organisations from whom I received support and assistance throughout the period of this study. Although I am unable to mention all of them here, the following deserve my special thanks. First of ail, I owe a debt of gratitude to Dr. J. Allister McGregor for his support in various aspects and for his patience in dealing with several difficulties related to my study. Thanks also to Dr. Adrian Winnett who provided very useful comments on my work. I am also grateful to Dr. Geof Wood and all staff members of the Centre for Development Study at the University of Bath who have always been supportive. Thanks to the British Council and ODA for their financial support throughout the study. Without their financial support, this study would not have been possible. In Thailand, many people deserve special mention. My special thanks to Dr. Somsak Boromthanarat, the Director of Coastal Resources Institute (CORIN) at Prince of Songkla University, and other staff members of CORIN, who provided support and assistance in various forms. My thanks should also go to the Dean of the Faculty of Natural Resources and the Head of the Department of Agricultural Development who not only provided me a chance to take a. study leave, but also allowed me to use many facilities they have for my study. In the villages where this study took place, many local leaders and villagers deserve thanks for their co-operation and their warm welcome while I was in their villages. Finally, I must not forget Nipon Khaaoreuang who was the assistant researcher to the PSU-CDS Floodplain Project. He did not only make invaluable contribution to the PSU-CDS Floodplain Project, but also provided support to this work. Many friends and colleagues at Bath University also played an important part in the time of my study. Douglas Saltmarsh, Richard Friend, Lawrence Kitchen, Jawanit Kittitornkool and all Thai students have always been helpful to me in various occasions. They all helped in creating more pleasant social environment for my life in Bath. Richard Friend in particular spent a lot of time helping in correcting my English. Thanks to my family, particularly my ageing parents, for their encouragement to my education. Despite their illiteracy, my parents have always seen the importance of providing education for their children. Their spiritual support has always been an important drive for my success. At the home front, special thanks and love to Suchada for being patient and supportive. Although she had to struggle hard to look after our young children on her own, she has never shown her tiredness. I would like to dedicate this thesis to my three sons, Nasruddeen, Shareef and Nawaawi, who were too young to understand what I was involved in and why I had to be absent for the last two years. Finally, as a Muslim, I must not forget to thank God for opening my mind to the importance of education. iv TABLE OF CONTENT PAGE ABSTRACT i ACKNOWLEDGEMENT ii TABLE OF CONTENT iv LIST OF MAPS, FIGURES AND TABLES vii MAPS viii CHAPTER ONE: THE STUDY OF NATURAL RESOURCES 1 AND DEVELOPMENT IN RURAL THAILAND 1.1 Introduction 1 1.2 Rural Development in Thailand and the Importance of Natural Resources 3 1.3 The Nature of the Study and the Study Area 10 1.3.1 The Nature of this Study 11 1.3.2 The Significance and Objectives of the Study 13 1.3.3 The Study Area and the Selection the Study Villages 14 1.4 Fieldwork: A Note from Experience 21 CHAPTER TWO: THE ANALYSIS OF POLICY AND PUBLIC PARTICIPATION 34 2.1 Introduction 34 2.2 The Concepts of Policy Analysis and Policy Process 35 2.2.1 The Process Model . 35 2.2.2 The Political System Model 37 2.3 Policy-Making, Policy Implementation and Policy Outcomes 40 2.4 The Importance of Policy Implementation: From Top-Down to Bottom-Up Perspectives 4i 2.5 Implementors and Factors Influencing their Performance 48 2.5.1 State Implementors and their Working Environment 48 2.5.2 Factors Influencing Implementor’s Performance 51 2.6 The Interaction of Actors in the Implementation Process and the Concept of Implementation Structures 54 2.7 Local People, Local Organisations and Their Participation in Policy Implementation 58 2.8 Common Property Resources and Policy Questions 64 2.9 Conclusion and Conceptual Framework for the Study 73 V CHAPTER THREE: POLICY PROCESS AND LOCAL PARTICIPATION IN THAILAND 79 3.1 Introduction 79 3.2 The Thai Administrative Structure 80 3.3 Policy-Making and Policy Implementation in the Thai Context 85 3.3.1 The Planning Organisation 85 3.3.2 Planning Procedure 92 3.3.3 Policy Implementation 95 3.4 The Thai Bureaucracy and Its Culture 98 3.5 Local Level Administration, Politics, and Popular Participation

Accepted 18 November, 2011 This study aimed to survey medicinal plants in mangrove and beach forests from Sating Phra Peninsula, Songkhla Province. Three representative districts including Sing Ha Nakhon, Sating Phra and Ranode were selected. Semi-structured interview was conducted to six local healers for asking about local names, parts of use, preparation and properties. Plant specimens also were collected. Identification was done and the specimens were deposited at The Prince of Songkla University herbarium (PSU). A total of 110 species belonging to 100 genera and 51 families was found. Among them, 69 species were only found in the beach forests, 35 species were only found in the mangrove forests and 6 species could be found in both areas. Fabaceae was the most important family in term of species used. Herb was the most frequently used habit of plants. Most plant species were used for curing fever (18.52%), skin diseases (10.65%) and gastrointestinal tract problems (10.19%), respectively. Interestingly, 34 species relate to pharmacological activities, while 13 species have never been investigated. Therefore, their biological activity should be investigated to support utilization of herbal medicine.

  • The Thai Canal Policy 9A Route (Modern Kra Canal)”: Indian Ocean Transportation System for Peace, Through Thai Sea and Towards China-Japan Sea
    Walailak Abode of Culture journal 2021; 21 (1): 1-16 ISSN 2228-804X Research Article The Formation of “the Thai Canal Policy 9A Route (Modern Kra Canal)”: Indian Ocean Transportation System for Peace, through Thai Sea and towards China-Japan sea * Payan Eumsin Faculty of Humanities & Social Science, Phranakhon Si Ayutthaya Rajabhat University, Phranakhon Si Ayutthaya 13000, Thailand Abstract This secondary documentary research and historical analysis by “public policy process” entitled the Thai Canal 9A Route ( Modern Kra Canal) , was part of the research “ The Formation of ‘ Thai Canal Construction Policy 9A (Digging the Modern Kra Canal)’: Problems of not being able to proceed with the next policy process (HE-RDI-NRRU.058/2563- 0623.9/223)”. The project is able to create economical transportation and shorten the length of maritime shipment. The researcher presented and explained through the analysis and the explanation of “un-threat” from the formation of the modern Thai Canal policy. The Thai Canal 9A Route policy was based on the Senate’s proposal, which was unanimously agreed on June 24, 2005, to dig the Thai Canal 9A Route. It will be able to create a transportation system for peace between the Indian Ocean, through the Thai sea, and towards the Chinese-Japanese seas. It will be feasible by economic cooperation through joint investment among the four powerful countries. The management will be done through the joint investment from the four leaders of the powerful countries on “Thai Fund for the Thai Canal 9A Route”, which consists of alliances such as the US Fund for Thai Canal 9A Route, the Indian Fund for the Thai Canal 9A Route, the ASEAN Wealth Fund for the Thai Canal 9A Route, and the China Maritime Silk Road Fund for the Canal 9A Route.

  • Industrial Hazardous Wastes, Increasing Approximately 15,000 Tons Compared to 2005
    Preface The Enhancement and Conservation of National Environmental Quality Act 1992 prescribed that the Pollution Control Committee must prepare Thailand State of Pollution Report and submit to the National Environment Board annually. Thailand State of Pollution Report may regard as a technical document, indicating the success of Thailand environmental development. Thailand State of Pollution 2006 gathered the events and significant pollution problems, occurring from January to December 2006 and comprising water quality management, air quality and noise management, waste and hazardous chemical management, pollution complaints, environmental enhancement and environmental driving forces. Furthermore, the environmental landmarks with respect to environmental pollution were also recorded in this report. These were such as the noise pollution at Suvannabhumi International Airport, the problem caused by Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) at Mab Ta Pud in Rayong. These environmental pollutions reflected the problems and disasters affecting to the environment. In order to solve the environmental problems, participation from all stakeholders is needed to effectively stimulate the environmental management. The Pollution Control Committee would like to express its sincere appreciation to all relevant agencies and organizations for their supports to provide the information and comments in this report. The contribution will then benefit to governmental agencies, private sectors, educational institutes and the public in general with respect to the right

  • Chapter 3 Coastal Conditions in Study Area
    Chapter 3 Coastal Conditions in Study Area In Figure 3.1-1, the direction of longshore drift (which was estimated by the observation of the deposition and/or erosion states around coastal structures and of the present shoreline situation on the sites) is indicated by arrows. 3.1.1 Khanom District Most of the coastal line in this district is composed of rocky capes and some sandy beaches. These sandy beaches are located between the capes. Therefore, the shoreline in this district is rather stable. Khanom port is located at the river mouth of Khlong Ban Tha Chan between Khao Chai Son and Khao Phi Hai. In the north part of the river mouth to the Khanom port, small parts of sandy beach are reported to be slightly eroded. 3.1.2 Sichon District Sichon port with single jetty at the left side of the river mouth is located at the north of Laem Khao Kho Kwang and the right side of the river mouth is composed of rocks. The littoral drift in this area is not seen to be serious except for the beach erosion in the north part of the existing jetty. In the south part of Laem Khao Kho Kwang, there are several small fishing ports which are located at river mouths without jetty, such as Khlong Tung Ca (Thepha), Tha Mak in Sichon district and Pak Duat, Bang San in Tha Sala district. The river mouths of these fishing ports are characterized by river-mouth closure. The channels to these fishing ports cannot be maintained without periodic dredging.

  • Climate Change Impact on Sandy Beach Erosion in Thailand
    Chiang Mai J. Sci. 2019; 46(5) : 960-974 http://epg.science.cmu.ac.th/ejournal/ Contributed Paper Climate Change Impact on Sandy Beach Erosion in Thailand Hiripong Thepsiriamnuay and Nathsuda Pumijumnong* Faculty of Environment and Resource Studies, Mahidol University, Nakhon Pathom, 73170, Thailand. *Author for correspondence; e-mail: [email protected] Received: 13 September 2018 Revised: 14 May 2019 Accepted: 17 May 2019 ABSTRACT This paper focuses on the spatial and temporal aspects of rising sea levels on sandy beach erosion in Thailand. The SimCLIM/CoastCLIM model with RCP 2.6 and RCP 8.5 was utilised to forecast changes in sea level and shoreline over the 1940 to 2100 period in Rayong, Nakhon Si Thammarat and Trang. Input parameters underlying the modified Brunn Rule were applied. Sand loss and forced people migration were estimated using fundamental equations. In the 1940 to 1995 period, estimated sea-level rise was 0.14 cm yr-1 and shoreline retreat was 5.33 m yr-1. Sea level is predicted to rise by 124.38 cm by 2100, compared to the 1995 level. Trang is the most vulnerable area with 507.90 m of eroded beaches and 2.15 km2 of sand loss. Rayong’s population is the most susceptible, with 873 people being forced to migrate. These results could be beneficial to national-scale data and adaptation planning processes in Thailand. Keywords: sea-level rise, sandy beach erosion, the SimCLIM/CoastCLIM model, sand loss, forced people migration 1. INTRODUCTION Root potential causes for coastal erosion morphodynamics by altering wave action, or accretion include physical parameters (e.g., controlling energy and influencing ground water coastal geomorphology, wind, waves, tides fluctuation and tidal currents.
