Monograph on population growth, population policies and population trends in Thailand - covers geographic distribution and migration, urbanization, family planning projects, etc. Bibliography, references and statistical tables.
This volume looks at the origins and consequences of the accelerated growth of the Thai economy since the mid-1980s, and explores the factors that set Thailand apart from other Asian, African and Latin American countries.
Written by an international panel of specialists on Thailand who share a common concern for the environment, this volume examines the causes and consequences of environment change both in the countryside and the urban areas of the Kingdom. The papers, however, in no sense reflect a common view; the authors embrace contrasting environmental ideologies in discussing a wide range of concerns. These include the role of Buddhism and tourism in promoting sustainable development, environmental systems of thought and action, the practicalities of water pollution control in Bangkok and the Gulf of Thailand, and the changing bases of life and livelihood among the hill peoples of the North. The environment as an issue of concern is now important phase of assimilation, interpretation, prescription and action. The papers in this volume reflect this change.
