  • Revisiting Forest Transition Explanations the Role Of
    Land Use Policy 83 (2019) 195–214 Contents lists available at ScienceDirect Land Use Policy journal homepage: www.elsevier.com/locate/landusepol Revisiting forest transition explanations: The role of “push” factors and T adaptation strategies in forest expansion in northern Phetchabun, Thailand Jean-Philippe Leblond School of International Development and Global Studies, University of Ottawa, 120 University, office 8021, Ottawa, Ontario, K1N 6N5, Canada ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Keywords: Researchers and policy makers are increasingly looking at the drivers of forest recovery (or forest transition) for Forest transition inspiration in their search for win-win solutions to deforestation. However, causal generalizations regarding Land abandonment forest transitions are subject to significant problems. First, forest transition theory (FTT), at least in its simplest Forest conservation renditions, tends to emphasize socially benign processes and fails to pay sufficient attention to the causal ro- Thailand le—and social impacts—of negative (push) dynamics. Second, we have yet to understand when and why forest transition drivers sometimes lead to outcomes other than forest transition (e.g., further deforestation). Of par- ticular relevance is the paucity of work analyzing the capacity of actors to counter drivers of forest transitions through adaptation and resistance strategies. These problems can lead to overly optimistic views of the causes and consequences of forest transitions, and this hinders the search for contextually sensitive policy prescriptions compatible with social justice and sustainable development. Using process tracing, this paper presents analysis of the causes of reduced deforestation in the 1980s, and forest expansion in the 1990s and early 2000s, in rain-fed maize farming areas of northern Phetchabun, Thailand.

  • Thailand: Further Information on Fear of Forcible Return: at Least 231 Ethnic Hmong Laotian Refugees
    PUBLIC AI Index: ASA 39/008/2006 23 June 2006 Further Information on UA 159/06 (ASA 39/007/2006, 07 June 2006) – Fear of forcible return New Concern: Health Concern THAILAND At least 231 Hmong Laotian refugees The group of at least 231 ethnic Hmong Laotian refugees, including women and children have reportedly been moved to police detention facilities across the province of Phetchabun and possibly also neighbouring provinces. This is due to overcrowding and a lack of food at Khao Kho district jail, which remains over- crowded. Amnesty International is concerned for their health. Non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and health authorities have been allowed to provide medical assistance to some of the refugees, but there appears to be no systematic and reliable provisions of food to all of them. The refugees are still at risk of forcible return to Laos where they would be in danger of serious human rights violations, including torture and ill-treatment. Approximately two weeks ago, the Provincial Governor of Phetchabun, Torphong Ampan reportedly said that the refugees would be sent back to Laos via the Loei Province border checkpoint. His deputy reiterated this statement, citing a National Security Council policy to deport illegal immigrants. Approximately 6000 ethnic Hmong Laotians live in the makeshift refugee camp in Huay Nam Khao. They started arriving there in large numbers in 2004, seeking refugee status. The majority of them claim they have been persecuted because of their alleged connection with Hmong rebel groups in an ongoing conflict with the Lao military. The Thai authorities define them as “illegal immigrants”, while the Lao government has expressed doubt that they are Lao nationals.

    GW-4 Geological Survey of Japan, AIST Project report on CCOP-GSJ/AIST-GA Groundwater Phase II Project Final Meeting 18-20 March 2014, Bandung, Indonesia COORDINATING COMMITTEE FOR GEOSCIENCE PROGRAMMES IN EAST AND SOUTHEAST ASIA (CCOP) In cooperation with GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF JAPAN (GSJ), AIST Published by CCOP Technical Secretariat Bangkok, Thailand Youhei Uchida (Chief Editor) PREFACE Groundwater is one of the limited natural resources of the world. Because of the lack a feeling of importance of groundwater, especially, in the late 20th century, groundwater has been significantly damaged by human activities, resulting in groundwater issues, such as land subsidence, seawater intrusion, and groundwater pollution by toxic substances, that have become remarkable problems in everywhere in the world. The countries in the East and Southeast Asia have been also faced the many groundwater problems which are needed international cooperation to be solved. Since the establishment of the organization in 1966, geological and geophysical surveys have been carried out by the CCOP under the cooperative schemes in the East and Southeast Asia for offshore natural resources. These data have been distributed to member countries as printed maps and publications. As for a groundwater project, “Groundwater database in East and Southeast Asia͇had been compiled under the DCGM Phase IV project of CCOP from 2001 to 2004. The following project, named “Groundwater Assessment and Control in the CCOP Region by CCOP-GSJ/AIST Groundwater project” from 2005 to 2008, had been started from a point of view of finding a solution of issues on an exploration and an exploitation of a groundwater resource.
