  • Toungoo Field Report: Slow Transitions Towards Real Change, January to December 2015
    Toungoo Field Report: Slow transitions towards real change, January to December 2015 January 20, 2017 Field Report January 20, 2017 / KHRG #16-6-F1 Toungoo Field Report: Poor transitions towards real change, January to December 2015 This Field Report includes information submitted by KHRG researchers describing events occurring in Toungoo District between January 2015 and December 2015. It describes different human rights violations and other issues important to the local community, including: military activities, land confiscation, healthcare, education, drug issues, discrimination against Muslim people, and development projects that took place in Toungoo District. This report also describes local residents’ concerns about military activities, development, education, healthcare, and land confiscation. • Land that has been traditionally possessed along with land titles by the local residents in Htantabin Township, Toungoo District was forcibly confiscated by the Tatmadaw as well as Burma/Myanmar government, by giving permission to companies such as Kaung Myanmar Aung and Shwe Swan In in order for them to carry out business operations in rural areas. • In Thandaunggyi Township, the students from the primary school had received free education services for two years at the time of reporting, as well as books, bag, pencils and 1000 kyat (US $0.75) per student from Burma/Myanmar government. However, the education students are receiving is poor, as school teachers are often absent; they frequently leave the village to visit their homes, which can take up to two weeks per trip. • The Burma/Myanmar government healthcare services are not reaching remote areas in Toungoo District. Healthcare services in areas such as Thandaung Myo Thit are therefore poor due to the lack of medicine in clinics, and medics and doctors are providing insufficient services to local residents.

  • Tourism Development in Thandaung Gyi a Grounded Theory Study On
    Tourism Development in Thandaung Gyi A Grounded Theory Study on Tourism Development Thomas L. Maatjens Department of Geography, Planning and Environment, Radboud University Master Thesis Prof. Dr. Huib Ernste Feb. 28, 2020 i Preface The writing process of this thesis has been long and at times very hard for me. However, I am incredibly proud of the result, with which I am about to complete my Cultural Geography and Tourism master’s degree and thus conclude my studies at Radboud University Nijmegen. My time at Radboud University has been incredibly rewarding and I am looking forward to what the future might hold. The research and writing process of this thesis would not have been possible without the help of several people. First, I would like to thank my thesis supervisor Prof. Dr. Huib Ernste for his time and support. My time in the Republic of Myanmar would not have been as fulfilling as it was without the help of my internship supervisor Marlo Perry and the team of the Myanmar Responsible Tourism Institute in Yangon. I would like to thank them and the people of Thandaung Gyi for their hospitality and support. I would also like to thank Jan and Marlon for their support and last, but not least, I would like to thank my girlfriend Hannah for her love and dedication to me. Thomas L. Maatjens Nijmegen, February 28, 2020 ii Executive Summary This thesis seeks to understand the process of tourism development in Thandaung Gyi, within the context of the region’s economic development and ongoing peace process.

The successful planning and implementation of the census activities, followed by the timely release of the provisional results in August 2014 and now the main results in May 2015, is a clear testimony of the Government’s resolve to publish all information collected from respondents in accordance with the Population and Housing Census Law No. 19 of 2013. It is my hope that the main census results will be interpreted correctly and will effectively inform the planning and decision-making processes in our quest for national development. The census structures put in place, including the Central Census Commission, Census Committees and Offices at all administrative levels and the International Technical Advisory Board (ITAB), a group of 15 experts from different countries and institutions involved in censuses and statistics internationally, provided the requisite administrative and technical inputs for the implementation of the census.

  • Mon State & Kayin State
    MON STATE & KAYIN STATE Ministry of Hotels & Tourism Office No.33 | Nay Pyi Taw +95 (0)67 4061 30 +95 (0)67 4064 54 [email protected] HIGHLIGHTS Individual, culturally rich and scenically inspiring Mon Boasting varied landscapes which include islands, hills, tropical forest, crop land and plantations, Mon State covers the upper part of the Tanintharyi Peninsula. Its capital, Mawlamyine (also known Mawlamyaing) is Myanmar’s 4th largest city, and the capital of the former British Empire. The state is renowned for Kyaikhtiyo Pagoda, aptly named Golden Rock, and Win Sein Taw Ya, which is the site of the world’s largest reclining Buddha statue. Such rich religious cultural heritage is unsurprising given that Mon is where Theravada Buddhism was first established in Myanmar some 2,500 years ago. Kayin Encircled by karst limestone peaks that soar out of lush green paddy fields, Hpa An, is the picturesque capital of Kayin State (also known as Karen). Most famous for its impressive and very sacred limestone caves, Kayin State also offers many scenic spots comprising of hills and rivers, and farmlands. A popular place to start the ascent of Mount Zwegabin is Lumbini Garden, home to over 1,100 Buddha statues. Take time to appreciate the stunning views of this mountainous area before taking a slow boat down the Thanlyin River to exotic Mawlamyine in Mon State. Mon - a place of WELCOME TO spiritual birth and rebirth Mon State is vibrantly spiritual; monasteries offer insight awareness meditation (satipatthana vipassana), and Pa Auk Taw MON & KAYIN Ya, which at 500 acres is one of the largest meditation centres in Myanmar, is about 10km from Mawlamyine.

Total Assessments 9 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 4 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 3 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.

  • Bayesian Spatiotemporal Analysis of Malaria Infection Along An
    Thway et al. Malar J (2018) 17:428 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12936-018-2574-0 Malaria Journal RESEARCH Open Access Bayesian spatiotemporal analysis of malaria infection along an international border: Hlaingbwe Township in Myanmar and Tha‑Song‑Yang District in Thailand Aung Minn Thway1, Chawarat Rotejanaprasert1, Jetsumon Sattabongkot2, Siam Lawawirojwong3, Aung Thi4, Tin Maung Hlaing5, Thiha Myint Soe6 and Jaranit Kaewkungwal1* Abstract Background: One challenge in moving towards malaria elimination is cross-border malaria infection. The imple- mented measures to prevent and control malaria re-introduction across the demarcation line between two countries require intensive analyses and interpretation of data from both sides, particularly in border areas, to make correct and timely decisions. Reliable maps of projected malaria distribution can help to direct intervention strategies. In this study, a Bayesian spatiotemporal analytic model was proposed for analysing and generating aggregated malaria risk maps based on the exceedance probability of malaria infection in the township-district adjacent to the border between Myanmar and Thailand. Data of individual malaria cases in Hlaingbwe Township and Tha-Song-Yang District during 2016 were extracted from routine malaria surveillance databases. Bayesian zero-infated Poisson model was developed to identify spatial and temporal distributions and associations between malaria infections and risk factors. Maps of the descriptive statistics and posterior distribution of predicted malaria infections were also developed. Results: A similar seasonal pattern of malaria was observed in both Hlaingbwe Township and Tha-Song-Yang District during the rainy season. The analytic model indicated more cases of malaria among males and individuals aged 15 years.
