An analysis of local Karang culture, knowledge, and natural resource use patterns in the Kaengkrachan National Park, Phetchaburi, ThailandRojanasaeng, Nonglak 10 December 2001 (has links)
This study analyses the culture, knowledge and resource use patterns of the
Karang tribe in Phong-Luk village, which is located at the Kaengkrachan National
Park. The goal of this project is to reveal the culture-based local wisdom of the
Karang tribe that is consistent with sustainable environmental resource
management and to recommend guidelines for governments to revise existing
policies related to the tribe that are relevant with their cultural ways of life. This
project is expected to enhance awareness of local wisdom and offer a strategy to
relieve the pressure of resource use between the tribe and the national park.
The specific objectives of this research were to 1) analyze the local production
practices, land utilization practices and belief, and 2) identify and analyze the key
issues of local wisdom that are consistent with the conservation and sustainable
management of the local natural resources and the environment. Finally, the
analysis explored the affects of the existing policies (e.g., national park and
development promotion policies) on the tribe's livelihood and the expected impact
on the natural environments due to the shift in practices of the tribe.
analysis explored the affects of the existing policies (e.g., national park and
development promotion policies) on the tribe's livelihood and the expected impact
on the natural environments due to the shift in practices of the tribe.
This research utilized a qualitative research methodology to study and
understand the overall picture of the community. Interview and observation
techniques were used to identify the important issues, which included the history
and settlement of the community, production patterns, land utilization patterns,
belief systems, relationships within the community and government policies.
The research indicates that traditional production practices, traditional land
tenure arrangements and cultural beliefs provide the tribe a means of self-reliance
and environmental sustainability. However, these customary practices and beliefs
are being threatened by government policies. Therefore, the recommendations are
provided to guide policymakers in ways to incorporate the wisdom of the tribe in
future decisions. / Graduation date: 2002

Embodied global flows : immigration and transnational networks between British Columbia, Canada, and Punjab, IndiaWalton-Roberts, Margaret 11 1900 (has links)
Canadian politicians have stated that India-Canada relations are grounded in
"people-to-people links". These links have been formed over the last century through a
process of immigration that articulates specific regions of India—Doaba in Punjab—with
particular regions of Canada—initially British Columbia, and now the metropolitan areas
of Toronto and Vancouver. Employing the theoretical lens of transnationalism and a
methodological approach based on networks, this thesis argues that the presence of
extensive transnational linkages connecting immigrants to their sites of origin, rather than
limit national Canadian citizenship practice, can actually enhance it. I examine how
Punjabi immigrants activate linkages that span borders and fuse distant communities and
localities, as well as highlighting how the state is involved in the regulation and
monitoring of such connections. My findings indicate that the operation of state officials
varies according to the nature of the exchange. Whereas immigration is differentially
controlled at the micro-scale of the individual according to a range of factors such as
race, class and gender; inanimate objects such as goods and capital are less regulated,
despite the significant material effects associated with their transmission. Indian
immigrants are not however, passive recipients of state regulation at the scale of the
individual, and instead emerge as active participants in a Canadian democratic system
that enables the individual to challenge certain bureaucratic decisions and hold federal
departments accountable. In addition, contrary to ideas of transnational immigrant actors
possessing new forms of transnational or "post-national" citizenship, this research
suggests that immigrants value the traditional right of citizenship to protect national
borders and determine who may gain access.

Quality of marriage among MalaysAbd Manaf, Abdul Razak January 2009 (has links)
Existing literature and much of the research on marriage and family experiences have been largely and commonly problem-based and deficit-oriented. Even though some strength-focused approaches to the study of marriages and families have been undertaken and have gained momentum there is still much empirical work needed in order for us to understand the complexity and intricacies of what constitutes a quality marital relationship. In this qualitative research study, I analysed how quality of marriage is conceptualised and understood by Malays within a Malaysian context. I undertook the research in order to capture and understand how a cohort of Malay people understand and give meaning to the concept of 'good quality marital relationship'. Research studies on marital quality in Malay culture are very limited and numerically at least, they compare poorly to western scholarly output on this subject. Even though much contemporary marriage literature refers to the importance of gaining an appreciation of cultural issues related to marriage and family, there is a real need for more cross-cultural research. In examining Malay concepts of quality marriage I not only address a culturally-specific research need but attempt to use this to advance cultural sensitivity among relevant policy makers, practitioners, researchers and members of the public. In this research, in-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted in the Kubang Pasu district, in Kedah, one of the northern states of Malaysia with forty-five participants across different socioeconomic and demographic backgrounds. In what is an exploratory study I adopted a combination of maximum variation and purposive sampling and utilised a grounded theory framework to underpin the analysis. The data were analysed using both rigorous manual coding and NVivo qualitative software.

SELECTIVE MISSIOLOGICAL IMPLICATIONS OF BUNKHUN FOR MINISTRY AMONG THE KHON MUANGBohnert, Thomas Lowell 07 June 2018 (has links)
ABSTRACT
SELECTIVE MISSIOLOGICAL IMPLICATIONS OF BUNKHUN FOR MINISTRY AMONG THE KHON MUANG
Thomas Lowell Bohnert, Ph.D.
The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, 2018
Chair: Dr. George H. Martin
The purpose of this dissertation is to examine a socio-cultural barrier to the gospel among the Khon Muang of Northern Thailand. The thesis of this dissertation is that bunkhun is an essential cultural factor that missionaries must understand to build and maintain healthy relationships among the Khon Muang. Chapter 1 introduces the problem and the methodology for analyzing the problem was described.
Chapter 2 contains an ethnographic description of the Khon Muang people along with an examined of the salient literature about bunkhun. The examination of the salient literature revealed that bunkhun relationships are established by two means: they are established either because a client recognizes the ascribed status of a patron, or because individual acts of graciousness overwhelm the client with gratitude.
Chapter 3 examines the function of bunkhun among the Khon Muang. A matrix for characterizing bunkhun relationships was developed and presented. A theory for understanding bunkhun was described. Bunkhun is a cultural system that maintains social smoothing values and skills, reinforces traditional ideas about the ideal character qualities of both a patron and a client, and regulates the relationships between a patron and a client among the Khon Muang.
Chapter 4 surveys the Bible to define and describe the patron titles of God. The obligations of the client were also presented. Finally, a short survey outlining the biblical concept of grace was detailed. Bunkhun has similarities to grace, but the two are different.
Chapter 5 deals with several missiological implications of bunkhun. First, bunkhun is a form of patron-client system thus, it is incumbent upon missionaries to understand the cultural context so that clear communication occurs. Second, honor and shame themes are embedded in the bunkhun system. Learning to utilize skills good intercultural communications skills is necessary for missionaries serving in Northern Thailand. Finally, several suggestions were offered to address implications related to evangelism, discipleship, fellowship and leadership development. These thoughts are all offered tentatively as more research is needed to verify their veracity.
Chapter 6 provides an overall summary for the project.
