Public Participation in Local Government Administration: An Analytical Study of the Chiang Mai Context, 1992–2001

Promphols Samphanthano — 2026-06-30

The objectives of this study are: 1) to analyze the forms and levels of people’s participation in both political and administrative dimensions; 2) to explain structural factors that promote or hinder participation; and 3) to propose policy guidelines for developing participatory mechanisms consistent with the specific context of Chiang Mai. This study employs a qualitative research methodology, including documentary research, in-depth interviews with key informants, and multiple case studies within Chiang Mai Province during the period of 1992–2001.

The findings reveal a significant disparity between political and administrative participation during this transitional decade. While political participation was high through electoral activities, administrative participation remained confined to "Tokenism" according to Arnstein’s ladder of participation. Key structural obstacles included the authoritarian bureaucratic culture and the expansion of local patronage systems that dominated community assembly processes. Although Chiang Mai possesses robust social capital, it primarily operated parallel to state power, lacking systematic institutional integration. The study recommends reforming community assembly mechanisms into deliberative spaces and implementing participatory budgeting to genuinely empower citizens in the decision-making process.

Atcharaphon Sanarmphol — 2026-06-24

This article research aims to 1) study meditation teaching in Thailand; 2) analyze meditation teacher education according to the Willpower Institute; and 3) propose a meditation teacher education model according to the Willpower Institute.

There are five major meditation teaching approaches in Thailand: Buddha Meditation, Anapanasati Meditation, Pung-Yuap Meditation, Luang Por Thian Meditation, and Dhammakaya Meditation.
The curriculum's strengths lie in its systematic approach, with easy-to-understand course content and practices. This allows students to gain access to meditation and experience the joy of practice, fostering determination and diligence. A challenge is the meditation teacher course's six-month duration, which is too long, especially for those still working. Some students miss classes and are ineligible to take the exam.
The meditation teacher education model according to the Willpower Institute, Branch 154, Wat Pa Dara Phirom, Chiang Mai Province, and Branch 283, Wat Pa Achan Man Phurithatto, Chiang Mai Province, consists of a (short-term) Chinnasasa Meditation course, with volunteer instructors and students having faith in the curriculum. The teaching process uses a manual, namely the 3 volumes of the meditation teacher course book and then plays a tape of a lecture by His Holiness Somdej Phra Yanawachirodom (Luang Por Wiriyang Sirintharo), consisting of both theory and practice. There is systematic teaching. The practice format emphasizes 2 postures: walking meditation and sitting meditation. Evaluation and assessment include theoretical and practical field exams at Doi Inthanon, Chiang Mai Province, for 4 days and 3 nights before completing the course.

The research findings revealed that:

The highest priority in developing an experience-based ecosystem is the experience-based aspect (PNI_modified = 0.24), while the physical aspect had the lowest value (PNI_modified = 0.19).
An effective approach to developing an experience-based ecosystem for developing life skills in early childhood requires a holistic and interconnected approach across four aspects: experience-based, participation, support, and physical aspects.
These 16 guidelines are therefore important and must be implemented concurrently to lead to the development of life skills in early childhood. The verification of the guidelines showed that they were highly accurate and appropriate.

The sample group still maintains a lifestyle consistent with the principles of sufficiency, characterized by simplicity, consuming local food, and primarily cooking their own meals. Their debt burden is at a low level, with most debt incurred for living expenses. However, it was found that among the working-age population and youth, there is a growing influence of consumerist values.
The promotion of conscience-building involved the systematic application of Buddhist principles.

This resulted in the participants having a better quality of life. The application of the Ariya Sacca 4 in building conscience led to a clear improvement in behavioral changes. This research discovered a new body of knowledge: the RIMPING BALANCE Model (RBM), or A Model for a Balanced Life Based on Buddhist Principles.
