| Abstract | This research is an attempt to propose the appropriate
criteria for selection of new settlers for the resettlement
programme of the UNDP /FAO Deforestation of Denuded Forest Land
in Khao Kho Project, Central Thailand.
A field survey was conducted to obtained information from
both the existing settlers and the applicants in order to
identify the determinants of settlers' success and assess their
opinion on criteria for selection of new settlers.
Findings from the study revealed that the determinants of
success of settlers are the "settlers' own capital", "off-farm
income", "family labour fully engaged in agriculture", "age", and
"agricultural training" .
Analysis of the opinion of respondents on criteria for
selection of settlers indicated that the settlers' agricultural
background, family labour, and age range between 20-30 years
ranked higher than other criteria.
It is, proposed that the most important criteria which could
be used for selection of new settlers are "agricultural
background'', "marrying age 20-30 years", "family agriculture
labour force", "education level of Pathom 6", and "residents in
the area". It is also recommended that the point system should be
applied to the selection of new settlers. |
