| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of the study is to understand the relationships between women's educational achievement and their participation in the Thai central region local political decision-making process. The objectives of this study are: first, to study women’s personal characteristics and their participation in the local political decision- making process; second, to study the relationships among educational achievement, demographic status, civic attitudes and obstacles to women’s political participation; and third, to study women’s engagement in the local political decision-making process. The concept model was developed to be testes through statistical analysis. The research is a quantitative survey of 395 women in Chantaburi and Samutprakarn Provinces. Various analytical techniques were employed including ANOVA analysis, Hierarchical regression analysis, Path analysis and qualitative data analysis, using in-depth interview from women who have elected to position in local political offices, and as local community leader. This study found that qualities like age, occupation and political background are statistically significance as are variables of political background, and participation at the political supporter level. The relation of educational achievement found that success in reaching news information has a direct and indirect influence. Obstacles that hinder participation had a direct positive affect as well as success from learning, social networks, occupation and the number of years in formal learning. Age, income, political background and being a member of an institution had negative affects. The comparison between women’s educational success and participation showed the opinions of women who live inside the municipal area matched those of women who live outside the municipal area. Success in accessing news, success in the study about social networks, and involvement in institutions had indirect positive effects. Women who lived in municipal areas had different opinions from those living out of municipal areas regarding the success of education, ability in learning and number of years learning which had indirect positive effects, while age, and political background had indirect negative effects. Outer factors that hinder participation were culture, tradition, customs Thai social values, support from political parties and support from the government and private sectors. Inner factors were; the readiness of the family, the political confidence and physical condition of women. This research suggested that the educational achievement of women has a significant relation to the participation of women in local political decision-making procedures. In order to promote this aspect, the participation of women in political decision-making procedures has to be encouraged. The educational achievement of the women will decrease the problems and obstacles towards political participation by women according to the nature of the population, economy and society. | th |
