chatchom sriwongklang, Krisda Saengcharoensap — Tue, 31 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0700

This research aims to study the laws still behaving on the island's territory of indigenous and foreign peoples and analyze the issues surrounding the protection of land rights on indigenous peoples' territories. This will involve studying relevant laws, regulations, and rules, as well as examining the judgments or orders of the Supreme Administrative Court and the opinions of the Council of State, while also comparing them with land laws from other countries.

The research findings revealed legal issues regarding the inconsistency of legal hierarchies, and problems related to restricting indigenous peoples' rights to land and obtaining land title deeds, which may contradict the principle of equality as stated in the constitution. There are also issues concerning the control of land ownership on islands, particularly if there are no time limits on transfer prohibitions. This ensures that the state establishes legal measures for indigenous peoples to coexist with nature.

Recommendations suggest that there should be amendments allowing the issuance of land title deeds on the island, by establishing legal measures that incorporate the concept of cultural protection zones as a fundamental principle in the revisions. Additionally, urban planning on the island should be managed following the guidelines outlined in the law regarding urban planning and zoning. This should be enacted as a law or royal decree specific to each island. After this can be considered whether to issue land title deeds to indigenous peoples while also imposing restrictions on the transfer of rights and legal transactions, making them special cases distinct from general.

Thanadet Yossuwan, Pol.Col. Patchara Santad — Tue, 31 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0700

This study aims to investigate the obstacles in preventing theft, the risk factors contributing to theft incidents, and to develop theft prevention strategies for residences in Mahadthai 1 Village. This qualitative study involved interviews with 26 participants, including 5 village administrators, 15 residents, 2 victims of theft, 2 security guards, and 2 police officers.

The findings reveal that the main issues and risk factors are due to the village’s lack of authority in management, as it is not a legal entity and lacks a sufficient budget. Security personnel and CCTV cameras are limited and fail to meet required standards, and entry and exit screening is inadequate. Some residents are uncooperative and oppose the establishment of the village as a legal entity. Additionally, the village lacks perimeter fencing and has multiple access points, making it easy for outsiders to enter. Many homes lack security measures, and some areas within the village are overgrown and poorly lit, increasing the risk of theft.

The study suggests establishing the village as a legal entity to improve management and enhance security by allowing the hiring of security personnel, increasing CCTV coverage, and improving communication within the community. If legal entity status cannot be achieved, the village should consider raising funds to install additional cameras, strengthen preventive measures, and seek police patrols to reduce theft risks. Additionally, residents should install CCTV, improve outdoor lighting, secure valuables, lock their homes when away, or arrange police surveillance during extended absences, and clear areas around fences to eliminate potential access points.
