Keywords:
Land Law, Land Ownership, Land UseAbstract
The purpose of this research is to study land problems and analyze the government's policy on land management in Betong District, Yala Province leading to preparation of guideline recommendations on solving land ownership problems and on efficient use of land resources. This research mainly used qualitative research method. The study found that the problem was that arable land overlaps with the national reserved forest where the local people had lived in the area before it was declared national reserved forest. As a result, people lack ownership and possession rights. Therefore, the area cannot be further developed due to lack of data integration and joint operations from government sectors. The concept of participatory land use registration should be applied in conjunction with community title deed issuance. In addition, the government should apply the special economic zone policy for tourism development by adopting a one-stop service system to achieve flexibility and rapidity in government operations.
