  • Preserving Temple Murals in Isan: Wat Chaisi, Sawatthi Village, Khon Kaen, As a Sustainable Model1
    Preserving Temple Murals in Isan: Wat Chaisi, Sawatthi Village, Khon Kaen, as a Sustainable Model1 Bonnie Pacala Brereton Abstract—Wat Chaisi in Sawatthi village, Sawatthi District, located about twenty kilometers from the bustling provincial capital of Khon Kaen, is a unique example of local cultural heritage preservation that was accomplished solely through local stakeholders. Its buildings, as well as the 100 year-old murals on the ordination hall, have been maintained and are used regularly for merit- making and teaching. The effort was initiated by the abbot and is maintained through the joint effort of the wat community, Khon Kaen Municipality, and various individuals and faculties at Khon Kaen University. This paper will examine the role of local leadership in promoting local cultural heritage. Introduction Of the more than 40,000 Buddhist wats in Thailand seventeen percent, or nearly 7,000, are abandoned.2 Of those still in use, many are becoming increasingly crammed with seemingly superfluous new structures, statues, and decorations, funded by people seeking fame or improvement in their karmic status. Still others are thriving because of the donations they attract through their association with what is sometimes called “popular Buddhism,” a hodgepodge of beliefs in magical monks, amulets, saints, and new rituals aimed at bringing luck and financial success (Pattana 2012). Yet countless others are in a moribund state, in some cases tended by one or two elderly, frail monks who lack the physical and financial resources to maintain them. Both situations are related to the loss of cultural heritage, as countless unique 1 This paper is adapted from one presented at the Fifth International Conference on Local Government, held in Palembang, Indonesia, September 17-19, 2014.

  • Buddhism, Power and Political Order
    BUDDHISM, POWER AND POLITICAL ORDER Weber’s claim that Buddhism is an otherworldly religion is only partially true. Early sources indicate that the Buddha was sometimes diverted from supra- mundane interests to dwell on a variety of politically related matters. The significance of Asoka Maurya as a paradigm for later traditions of Buddhist kingship is also well attested. However, there has been little scholarly effort to integrate findings on the extent to which Buddhism interacted with the polit- ical order in the classical and modern states of Theravada Asia into a wider, comparative study. This volume brings together the brightest minds in the study of Buddhism in Southeast Asia. Their contributions create a more coherent account of the relations between Buddhism and political order in the late pre-modern and modern period by questioning the contested relationship between monastic and secular power. In doing so, they expand the very nature of what is known as the ‘Theravada’. This book offers new insights for scholars of Buddhism, and it will stimulate new debates. Ian Harris is Professor of Buddhist Studies at the University of Cumbria, Lancaster, and was Senior Scholar at the Becket Institute, St Hugh’s College, University of Oxford, from 2001 to 2004. He is co-founder of the UK Association for Buddhist Studies and has written widely on aspects of Buddhist ethics. His most recent book is Cambodian Buddhism: History and Practice (2005), and he is currently responsible for a research project on Buddhism and Cambodian Communism at the Documentation Center of Cambodia [DC-Cam], Phnom Penh.

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.

  • Growth Stages of Newly Established Villages in Northeast Thailand: a Case Study on Villagers’ Origins in the Upper-Middle Watershed of the Songkhram River
    Growth stages of newly established villages in Northeast Thailand: A case study on villagers’ origins in the upper-middle watershed of the Songkhram River NAGATA Yoshikatsu Graduate School for Creative Cities, Osaka City University 3-3-138, Sugimoto, Sumiyoshi, Osaka 558-8585, Japan Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT The Songkhram River is one of the three major branches of the Mekong River in Northeast Thailand. According to topographic maps of the 1950s, villages were sparsely distributed in its middle and upper watershed, whereas villages were already densely distributed in the middle watershed of the other two major branches, the Chi River and the Mun River. So the watershed of the Songkhram River offered new land for farmers who eagerly desired their own farm land. Brief interviews with senior villagers of newly established villages in this area indicated that most of their original homes had been in the watershed of the Chi River and the Mun River. I conducted household-level surveys in three target villages in the middle and upper watershed of the Songkhram River to obtain information on migration history. Geographical analysis of three important places in their life, i.e., birth, marriage, and current places, suggests four stages in the growth of such new villages. While each of the four stages was of different duration, their pattern was almost similar among the three villages regardless of their location and year of establishment. This similarity may indicate a typical lifetime of a new rural village in this area. 1. INTRODUCTION Watershed of the Songkhram River covers eastern Udon Thani Province, eastern Nong Khai Province, most of Sakon Nakhon Province, and northern Nakhon Phanom Province.

  • The Impact of the Salinity Intrusion in Social, Economy and Environment Dimension of Ban Dung, Udon Thani Area
    THE IMPACT OF THE SALINITY INTRUSION IN SOCIAL, ECONOMY AND ENVIRONMENT DIMENSION OF BAN DUNG, UDON THANI AREA PALAPIN, PENNAPA Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences SUAN SUNANDHA RAJABHAT UNIVERSITY Email: [email protected] Abstract: This study is aimed to educate the impacts and figure out the solutions for the salinity intrusion in Ban Dung, Udon Thani area. It was done by collecting the information with Qualitative and Quantitative Research; semi-structured interview, focus group discussion and questionnaires. Sample of population is 384 people, consists of Community leader, inhabitants, entrepreneur and agents from government agency. The studied-information is summarized and is debated according to the study’s purpose, and is presented by lecture. The result shows, there are two factors that cause the saline soil and salinity intrusion in Ban Dung district. First one, it’s involved with geology; it’s a low lying areas where the level of the soil surface is lower than the level of the underground salt water. Second, the use of the land by human such as, salt farming without knowledge causes the salinity intrusion to the low lying areas. The salinity intrusion impacts the inhabitants in Ban Dung district, firstly, the economy because the agriculture will stop developing, the agriculturist cannot plant many kind of crops. Then, the income will be limited. Secondly, it impacts the social; there will be disputes and conflicts between the entrepreneur, inhabitants and agriculturist, in case of salt water floats into the area. Furthermore, the impact to the environment is the limited of biodiversity since there are very few plants and animals naturally live in salt water.
