การสร้างฉันทามติเพื่อการถือครองที่ดินแบบโฉนดชุมชนในที่ดินกรรมสิทธิ์ส่วนบุคคล : กรณีศึกษา ชุมชนคลองโยง จังหวัดนครปฐม / ปิยะนาถ วชิรบัณฑูร = Consensus building for community land titles on private land : a case study of Klongyong Community in Nakhon Pathom province / Piyanart Wachirabuntoon
This research aims to examine the process in which Klongyong became the first community to hold a community land title in Thailand, as well as the reasons why the community members agreed to accept community land ownership instead of individual land ownership. It also evaluates the factors that led the community to reach such a consensus. Klongyong is the first agricultural community located on private land that has chosen to adopt a community land title. Several ideas conceptually frame this research, including consensus building, common property, community rights, community participation and co-operative community management. Several data collection methods were used to gather information, including a questionnaire survey and in-depth interviews, so as to analyze the process that led to a consensus among the community members. The Klongyong community is located on private land, which has been granted the community land titles before other 400 communities throughout Thailand, which are located on government land. This is because Klongyong does not have many conflicts, has a clear track record, and do not require financial support. This case differs from other communities where residents have encroached on state forests or national parks and require infrastructure. In addition, the government then wanted to promote that community land titles were a concrete policy that could be successfully implemented. Community land titles may have several limitations. For instance, the owners are not allowed to sell their land or use land as collateral for loans from financial institutions. .And only descendants can inherit the land. Nonetheless, the Klongyong community insisted to claim community land rights. They were able to collectively learn and move beyond majority voting. They confirmed the community’s standpoint and reached a consensus regarding community land ownership.
