Abstract
This research aimed to 1) study the processing of the Waterside Housing Development Project of Bangkok, Thailand, 2) evaluate the effectiveness of the Project, 3) study the factors affecting the effectiveness of the Project, and 4) propose a model for resolving the encroachment problems of the public areas. The methodology used in this research was mixed methods, and the sampling are 960 participating households and 31 community leaders.
The research found that the project could not entirely solve the canal encroachment problem. Only 42.37% of the target households participated in the project. Most participating households had the stability and right to occupy the land and housing, as well as improve the quality of life in terms of housing quality and environmental management. On the other hand, the housing size of most of the participating households had decreased from the past. Furthermore, the participating communities had no increased income from occupational development because none of the communities had developed an action plan to drive the community’s economy. For the community’s strength, the participating communities had the ability to solve problems by themselves, had confidence in the community’s management, had intimacy and generosity of the people in the community, and preserved the environment of the people in the community. Additionally, the strength of most communities in terms of co-operation in the community’s activities and happy cohabitation were at a moderate to quite high level.
For the factors affecting the effectiveness of the Waterside Housing Deveolpment Project, the research found that leadership skills, sufficient and appropriate resources, and follow-up and evaluation affected improving the quality of life of the participating households in the same direction, which was statistically significant at a level of 0.01. On the other hand, the rapid management of the community and the number of households in the community affected improving the quality of life of the participating households in the opposite direction, which was statistically significant at a level of 0.01 and 0.05, respectively. The factors affecting the community’s strength consisting of leadership skills, participation of the people in the community, rapidity of the management, sufficient and appropriate resources, and follow-up and evaluation were found to be in the same direction, which was statistically significant at a level of 0.01.
The researcher offered the following recommendations for the effectiveness of the project: 1) relevant agencies should expedite visits in the field to create acceptance and clarity about the Project’s implementation, including acceleration of the removal of housing along canal, 2) relevant agencies should pay more attention to the policy, 3) the committee at the policy level should conduct ongoing evaluation to know the progress and problems of the project, including finding solutions, 4) the project should be supported with adequate and appropriate resources, 5) government agencies should raise the skills and leadership of the community leaders, 6) government agencies and community leaders should coordinate together to build understanding among the participants, 7) understanding and acceptance should be generated to cooperate together in solving problems that would be a better solution than strict law enforcement, 8) government agencies should be mentors in providing knowledge and advice to communities, 9) management should consider the balance of the working time, quality of work, and the budget, 10) the Project’s implementation should determine the appropriate number of households for easy management and the actual participation, 11) relevant agencies should pay close attention to the audit and quality control of the accounting of the cooperatives and provide recommendations on the financial status of the cooperatives, and 12) government agencies should regularly monitor and evaluate the project-driven results through the participation processes of the community to provide advice and assisstance.
Moreover, the researcher presented seven main processess in the implementation for solving the encroachment problem of public areas to be effective.
