Maize and other field crops were added to them in the 1960s. They were cultivated in newly opened lands. This paper describes the process of reclamation and the changes thereafter in a typical area of commercial cultivation of maize, and analyzes the land, technological and economic factors related to them. The fieldwork was carried out in an area extending between Saraburi and Lopburi provinces, which was reclaimed in the 1950s. Within the area, significant variations in cropping pattern, technology and productivity were observed. These spatial variations were largely governed by such physical conditions as rainfall and soil until around 1980. Thereafter, various modern technologies were adopted within a short period, which resulted in greater diversification in crops and the farming system. I Introduction The acreage .of field crops for export such as maize and cassava started increasing in the 1950s. Maize-growing is centered around the Passak Basin or the Central Highland separating the Chao Phraya Basin from the Khorat Plateau.

  • The Hidden Cost of Hydropower Dams in the Mekong River Basin: 9 Years of Repeated History of Lack of Governance and Accountability
    Page 1 The Hidden Cost of Hydropower Dams In the Mekong River Basin: 9 Years of Repeated History of Lack of Governance And Accountability This study determines to provide an analysis on the hidden costs of hydropower dams and the burdens on local communities, environment and ecosystems of the mainstream Mekong hydropower dams. The analysis starts from the first hydropower dam on the lower Mekong Basin, the Xayaburi Hydropower Dam, that started construction 9 years ago and 3 other dams, namely Don Sahong Hydropower Dam, Pak Beng Hydropower Dam and Pak Lay Hydropower Dam.The Xayaburi Hydropower Dam is expected to officially begin distributing electricity for the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand on 29 October 2019. The damages inflicted by the Xayaburi Hydropower Dam on local community, the environment and the Mekong River ecosystems are yet clearly calculated. Costs and expenses that the project developers must hold accountable have not been clearly laid out. Many costs are still hidden in the system and all levels of mechanisms, both nationally and regionally, that were supposed to review the process—from planning to construction to operation—with governance and accountability. Overall, the damages arise from the construction of hydropower dams are the opportunity local communities and the ecosystems have lost. Their opportunity loss is often overlooked by the developers when they calculate the costs of hydropower dams. This study reviews researches and documents related to the following 2 conceptual frameworks: 1. The costs that local community and the ecosystem have to bear after the completion of the hydropower dams and the accountability of the project developers.
