| Abstract | Successful implementation of natural resources and environmental planning and management at the regional (provincial in Thailand) level requires planning agencies and planning actors to be well facilitated with appropriate methods and techniques. Methods and techniques can not solve all the ill-fated problems of natural resources and environment planning and management. However, they can support regional planners to efficiently fulfill their planning tasks within the framework of decentralization. New methods and techniques are advocated and practiced worldwide to address different issues in natural resources and environmental planning and management or to be applied at different levels (policy, plan, program or project). The comparison, evaluation and knowledge from the workshop and survey have demonstrated the need for caution in applying methods and techniques developed in other socio-economic, geo-political conditions. Given the conditions of Thailand, most of methods reviewed show their possibility to be used. There is a necessity to strengthen the legislative and institutional arrangements, increase the budgetary allocation and provide training to facilitate the application of the methods and techniques. By examining the existing situation which includes administrative organization, key issues and NRE planning and management at the provincial level, a conceptual framework has been proposed. The suitability of methods and techniques to be applied at the provincial level are also explored. The proposed framework and methods are hoped to support provincial natural resources and environmental planning and management and finally the achievement of sustainable development. |
