Abstract
The research aims to 1) study direct and indirect effects of factors affecting the
success in coastal erosion management in the upper Gulf of Thailand, and 2) develop
and test the congruence of the measurement model and the structural equation model
of factors affecting the success in coastal erosion management in the upper Gulf of
Thailand with empirical data. The conduction of research was divided into two stages.
The first stage was qualitative research through 1) document analysis and 2) in-depth
interview. The second stage was quantitative research by survey questionnaires, a total
of 420 samples. Data were analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics, including
the analysis of the structural equation model (SEM).
The results of this study showed that 1) factors relating to policies, strategic
plans, and laws have a positive direct effect on the integrated coastal zone management
of coastal erosion and people’s participation, but has no statistically significant effect
on success in coastal erosion management. The integrated coastal zone management of
coastal erosion and people’s participation has a positive direct effect on the success of
coastal erosion management. For indirect effects, the success in coastal erosion
management factor is indirectly influenced by policies, strategic plans, and laws
through the integrated coastal zone management of coastal erosion and people’s
participation. 2) The developed model is found to be congruent with empirical data at
a statistical significance level. Therefore, to successfully manage coastal erosion, those
involved in coastal erosion management have to adopt sustainable development concepts, maintain the value of the functional structure of the coastal environment,
develop maximal economic efficiency, and concern about social equity.
This research suggests that 1) the government should encourage people to
participate in coastal erosion management while shifting its role from an operator to a
facilitator via some mechanisms, which may be applied in various forms, such as
community-based management, cooperative management with some motivational
measures, or having the private sectors to take parts in management. The enhancement
of people’s participation can help people to be well aware of the importance of the coast
and stimulate their conscience for conserving and utilizing it worthily and sustainably.
2) It is important to have a mechanism for enabling those involved in coastal erosion
management to be knowledgeable and understand the essentials of the integrated
coastal zone management of coastal erosion, including having mechanisms to negotiate
benefits by changing concepts towards all parties’ benefits to achieve acceptance and
cooperation in management, leading to truly integrated coastal zone management of
coastal erosion. 3) The government sector must empower local personnel to be able to
implement management plans, including regulating and monitoring coastal areas
effectively.
