项目摘要

This study discusses the development of a specific rain-fed paddy village in Northeast Thailand, during the recent high economic growth period in the country. I documents many decades of rain-fed expansion of agricultural land, evaluates land consolidation after the 1980s, and analyzes income changes. The study is based on GIS and socio-economic analyses during a period of forty years (1963-2005) of interdisciplinary field observation in the village. I conclude that people who stay in this area choose and develop technologies for rice production that are not market, but subsistence oriented. These technologies provide low, but stable production and enough rice for house hold consumption. This development is supported by off-farm income. Especially after the 1990s, opportunities to earn income in cities increased considerably, due to the economic development in Thailand. People subsequently invested the income they earned from off-farm job opportunities to improve their rice production even further. The coexistence of food security from subsistence rice production and cash income acquisition from off-farm sectors is an important strategy for people in this area. It is markedly different from a totally market oriented development, and can be evaluated positively bearing in mind a sustainable agricultural system in peri-urban areas in an industrial society.

这项研究讨论了该国最近高经济增长时期，泰国东北部一个特定的雨养稻田的发展。我记录了数十年的农业土地雨水扩张，评估了1980年代之后的土地整合，并分析了收入变化。该研究基于在村庄的跨学科现场观察的40年（1963- 2005年）期间的GIS和社会经济分析。我得出的结论是，留在这一领域的人们选择并开发了不是市场的水稻生产技术，而是面向生存的。这些技术提供低但稳定的生产，足够的米饭可容纳房屋消费。这种发展得到了非农业收入的支持。特别是在1990年代之后，由于泰国的经济发展，在城市赚取收入的机会大大增加。随后，人们投资了他们从非农业工作机会中赚取的收入，以进一步改善水稻的产量。粮食生产和从非农业部门获得现金收入的粮食安全共存是该领域人们的重要策略。它与完全面向市场的发展明显不同，可以牢记在工业社会的郊区地区可持续的农业体系进行积极的评估。
