Myanmar Perspective Transport is a key to sustainable development and regional integration. Transport connectivity contributes towards the regional development, economic growth and fortifies relations among the neighbouring countries. Myanmar believes a stronger integrated partnership in the Asia Pacific region will greatly contribute to member countries and people as a whole. The development of the infrastructural network will not only expand the region market but also capture international markets. It plays the key role for the country’s economic growth and regional connectivity, integration and mutual benefits. Nowadays, most countries in the Asia have been connected through the Asian Highway Network and the Trans-Asian Railway Network, which will benefit coastal countries and small island developing states by means of maritime services. Myanmar Perspective Myanmar is in a geographically strategic position to greatly benefit both South Asia and Southeast Asia. Myanmar is now regarded as a newly emerging destination for business on account of its strategic geographical location, moderate climate fit for the cultivation of various crops, huge market size, and high production output at low costs.

  • The Pattern of Collaboration for Encouraged Sustainability and Management
    International Business & Economics Research Journal – July 2009 Volume 8, Number 7 The Pattern Of Collaboration For Encouraged Sustainability And Management Of Ethnic Community In Forest Land And Rural Development In Thailand Prasit Kunurat, Mahasarakham University, Thailand Preecha Piampongsarn, Chulalongkorn University, Thailand Preecha Prathepa, Mahasarakham University, Thailand Boonyong Ketkong, Mahasarakham University, Thailand ABSTRACT This research focuses on factors that influence conflict over land-use patterns in ethnic communities in Phu Phan National Park in the northeast area of Thailand. The purposes of this study were: 1) to examine land use in local communities, 2) to explore the pattern of collaboration for encouraging the sustainability of community management in a forested area, and 3) to set up public policy for the management of land use in forested areas. For this research, we collected and analyzed qualitative and quantitative data. We administered 571 questionnaires to study typical land use, and a mixed methods approach was used to gather data. We found that two categories affect communities’ land use management: 1) social and cultural factors, or ecoculture, and 2) state policy and market accessibility. There are three patterns for management: 1) thinking system, 2) production pattern, and 3) land use. In addition, we also stated the public policies regarding management of the forest, which include 1) a policy of ecology management, 2) a knowledge sharing policy, 3) a policy for the management of the river basin, and 4) a decentralization policy. Keywords: Sustainability, Forest Land, Ethnic community, Rural Development, Thailand INTRODUCTION he global environment has numerous problems as a result of rapid industrial and technological developments, high population growth and unsustainable exploitation of resources.

ESCAP, WTO and UNCTAD, as key core network partners, and a number of bilateral development partners, provide substantive and/or financial support to the network. The Trade, Investment and Innovation Division of ESCAP, the regional branch of the United Nations for Asia and the Pacific, provides the Secretariat of the network and a direct regional link to trade policymakers and other international organizations. The ARTNeT Working Paper Series disseminates the findings of work in progress to encourage the exchange of ideas about trade issues. An objective of the series is to publish the findings quickly, even if the presentations are less than fully polished. ARTNeT Working Papers are available online at www.artnetontrade.org.
