Abstract
Globally, local communities and governments are challenged to minimise social and environmental impacts while enabling fair distribution of the benefits of rapid economic development. Since 2016, the Thai Government has pursued a twenty-year national economic growth policy, Thailand 4.0, promoting innovation and stimulating international investment through the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) plan. The EEC plan involves land acquisition that has resulted in relocation, as well as water and food insecurity in major food production areas.
This research explores how local residents in Chachoengsao Province (part of the EEC areas) have influenced, and benefited from top-down development, while minimizing impacts on local community in terms of water supply and food security.
