Abstract

The purposes of this study were to study and to compare the opinions of members of Buriram's sub-district administrative organizations towards their own natural resources and environment administration and management in 4 different aspects: policy making and planning, participating in natural resources and environment preservation, spreading knowledge and understanding about it and arranging activities to campaing for it. The opinions of the members of different status, levels of education and ages were compared. The sample group of 367 members of the organizations were determined by Taro Yamane's Table, and selected through Multi-stage Sampling, Simple Ramdom Sampling Techniques and Stratified Random Sampling respectively. The instrument used comprised 3 parts : Check List, Rating Scale, and Open Form. Its discrimination was at the level of 1.775 - 7.461 ; its reliability was at the level of .9774. The statistics for data analysis were frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation. The hypotheses were tested by t-test Independent and One - Way Analysis of Variance. The comparison of each pair was made through Scheffe's method. The significant difference was set at the level of .05. The findings were as the following ; 1) The members thought that the organization's roles on natural resources and environment administration and management as a whole should be at the high level; it should also be high on every individual aspect. The order of priority from the highest to the lowest was : policy making and planning, participating in natural resources and environment preservation, participation in campaigning for it and spreading knowledge and understanding about it. 2) There was no significant difference between the opinions of the committee and of the members of sub-district administrative organizations neither towards the roles of administration and management as a whole nor on each aspect. 3) There was no significant difference between the opinions of the members of different levels of education neither towards the organizations' roles as a whole nor on each aspect. 4) There was no significant difference between the opinions of the members of different ages neither as a whole nor on each aspect. 5) There were suggestions from the members that the organization make their policy towards the natural resources and environment administration and management clear to everyone, set a continuing follow up plan, allocate budget for people in the communities to preserve their natural resources and environment, allocate more budget for spreading the knowledge and understanding about it among all people and arrange activities for and follow up reforesting in public areas on every important holiday. 6) There were some problems concerning natural resources and environment administration and management identified by the members listed according to their priority: an insufficient budget, the members' lack of experience in administration and management, and too little participation from the people because they didn't realize the bad effects of environmental problems on their way of life.
