The study utilized qualitative methods and multiple case studies. The researcher participated in the study and collected data through in-depth interviews, documentary analysis, observation, field notes and focus group discussions. The key informants were the public officers, people and civil society that participated in the projects which awarded provincial governors from 3 provinces in Thailand in participatory governance. This study attempts to answer the following questions: 1) What is current situation of participatory public administration in Thailand ? 2) What are the factors promoting successful public participation? And 3) Is there a successful model that encompasses all public participation situations? The initiation of the public participation was not caused by the requirement of the community, but were the projects originated by the government sector. The public officers are driven by the policy to build on the success of participatory governance, and then selected community is approached to work together.240 leavesapplication/pdfengผลงานนี้เผยแพร่ภายใต้ สัญญาอนุญาตครีเอทีฟคอมมอนส์แบบ แสดงที่มา-ไม่ใช้เพื่อการค้า-ไม่ดัดแปลง 4.0 (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0)Public participationCorporate Social Responsibilitytext--thesis--doctoral thesis10.14457/NIDA.the.2017.118
