ItemDrug use/abuse: policies and policy implementation in higher education instituties in Bangkok(Research Institute of Assumption University, 2009) Preecha Methavasaraphak ; Linchong Chorrojprasert ; Narong Chumsupanwaree ; Juthaporn Wannarat ; Urai Chaktrimongkhol ; Kanokporn Isarankura na AyuthayaThe objectives of this study are to study policies and policies implementation concerning drug use/abuse among Higher Education Institutions (HEls) in Bangkok Metropolis, to study the operational processes of policies and measures concerning drug use/abuse among HEls, to study the current situation of drug use/abuse among HE!s, and to study problems and obstacles on drug prevention among HEls. Research methodologies and activities for this research were divided into three phases (Phase I: Brainstorming seminar, Phase II: In-depth interviews, and Phase Ill: Students survey) and include both quantitative and qualitative approaches. The research results are: there was not much difference in the process of operation concerning drug problems among HEls. There were no written policies and specific plans concerning drugs in most institutions. Policies concerning drug were set up by Commission of Higher Education (CHE). Most of the responsible persons know how to handle drug problems in their institution. They have enough knowledge about drugs such as the different kind of drugs, the harmful effects of each kind, etc. Some institutes report that they found only few addicts in campus. Most of the serious cases of addicts were found outside the institutes and they went to re-habilitation center themselves. The administrators . and responsible persons believed that drug problems in their institutes were not serious. Most institutes organized drug prevention activities, followed CHE 's instructions, every year as a routine.

ItemInsight into internally displaced persons in Bangkok Metropolis, Thailand(Research Institute of Assumption University, 2010) Preecha Methavasaraphak ; Chatchayodome Pulpol ; Narong Chumsupanwaree ; Juthaporn Wannarat ; Jiraprapa LakkamThis research study aims to explore ways of life of internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Bangkok Metropolis, Thailand. The study focuses on three groups of IDPs; namely invaded community IDPs, under the bridge IDPs and homeless IDPs. In general, the IDPs have different backgrounds and places of origins, but share similar causes of displacement. The displacement is commonly resulted from the economic, social, and health-related factors. In some cases, the IDPs seek to escape from their so-called surrounding environment. Nowadays, the IDPs live in every part of Bangkok Metropolis. They struggle to earn their living and hardly receive any help from the government. The majority of the IDPs do not plan for their future but hope for a better life for their offspring. None of the government agencies are directly in charge of tackling the IDPs problem. The operations are scattered amongst government agencies from ministerial to local levels. This leads to redundant work, lack of cooperation and lack of continuity. The unclear government policy on the IDPs problem also results in vague operations. Furthermore, administrators have different perspectives towards the IDPs and handle the problem differently. In some district offices, administrators use a compromise measure to handle the IDPs while others take a sever measure to crack down the problem. Some administrators simply ignore the IDPs problem. Some government officers at an operational level would like to solve the problem for the IDPs but are unable to extend any help. Without a clear policy, their helps may jeopardize a violation of the rules and regulations. Regarding the social effects, the IDPs cause stress, intimidation, pollution to the environment, physical harm and damage to properties.

ItemPreventing risks related to population displacements : defining models of educational action in ThailandThis research focuses on the process of group/ community formation and intervention programs to improve life quality, minimize associated social problems, and prevent related risks of the displaced population in Bangkok, Thailand. This research classifies the displaced population aforementioned into two groups: the displaced in congested community, and the homeless. Their common problems are: the lack of evidences of Thai citizenship, unfair treatment, landlessness, insecurity in life, unemployment, insufficient income, inaccess ibility to public services and basic education. With the assistance of NGOs and governmental sectors they can form their groups/ community. Their group/community formation, in turn enables them to voice their needs and problems to concerned parties and to access assistances. Supports from NGOs and governmental sectors enable them to strengthen their communities with community activities and community cooperative for career support, groceries, saving, and saving for landownership. This research chooses Phiman Community and Orn-Nuch 14 Rai Community as the cases study of the displaced living in congested community; and Bangkok-Noi and Talingchan Coordination Centers as cases study of the homeless. The establishment of the 'The Community Organizations Development Institute' (CODI) as a public organization under the supervision of the Minister of Social Development and Human Security paves way to sustainable solutions to almost all of their problems and the improvement of their life quality . The case study of 'The Baan Mankong Collective Housing Program' is the proof of the success.
