Policy recommendation from research and solving problems in Thailand's southern border provinces.

Abstract

This article has the objectives 1) to argue the policy recommendation from research on the southern border provinces and 2) to present them as policy recommendations for resolving the problems of the southern border provinces and using information sources from research documents, dissertations, and research articles, of educational institutions and related government agencies from the year 2007 to 2022, totaling 12 subjects. Results of the study found that the policy recommendations from research studying and solving problems in the southern border provinces included decentralization, self-determination, self-management, local government, integrated work of the agency in the area, and creating a multicultural society. The benefit of the findings from the research is that the government should seriously use the policy recommendations from research as a guideline for solving problems in the southern border provinces—especially self-determination and village- and community-level governance.
