A qualitative methodology was employed, drawing on academic literature, research studies, and public policy documents, with comparative analysis of countries possessing strong welfare systems, namely Sweden, Germany, the United Kingdom, and Japan. The findings reveal that Thailand’s welfare system remains limited in scope, targeting specific groups rather than applying a universal approach. Key obstacles include centralized administration, market mechanism failures, economic instability, budgetary constraints, demographic changes such as an aging society, and rapidly advancing technology. The study suggests a hybrid welfare model that emphasizes universality, fair distribution of resources, and social investment. The state should take a proactive role in providing essential services and supporting families and communities, while also promoting public participation in policymaking and oversight. This research contributes to academic knowledge on welfare states within the Thai context and offers a reform framework capable of reducing inequality, fostering social justice, and responding sustainably to economic and demographic transformations.</p> Boonsong Chaletorn Copyright (c) 2025 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 2025-08-29 2025-08-29 11 2 155 166 The Influence of Accounts’ Skills on the Accounting Quality: the Moderation Role of Organizational Work Environment in Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in the Eastern Region of Thailand https://so04.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/WTURJ/article/view/281830 <p>This article aimed to (1) study the influence of accountant skills on the quality of accounting, and (2) study the role of the working environment in the organization on the influence of accountant skills on the quality of accounting.

The results of this study showed that; 1) the management of large-scale sugarcane farmer groups and smart agriculture of large-scale sugarcane farmer groups in Sukhothai Province were at a high level, and 2) Management has a positive relationship with smart agriculture of large-scale sugarcane farmer groups in Sukhothai Province. With a correlation coefficient between .663 - .795 and a positive relationship with statistical significance at the .01 level and 3) management can predict smart agriculture of the large-scale sugarcane farmer group, Sukhothai Province, 4 variables with statistical significance at the .05 level, namely management (X<sub>7</sub>), soil improvement for sugarcane planting with organic matter (X<sub>2</sub>), efficient weed control and elimination (X<sub>3</sub>), and use of appropriate sugarcane varieties (X<sub>1</sub>), with a Constant (β0) =1.454, R = .840, R2 = 705, Adjusted R Square =.702, F =221.090**, Durbin-Watson =1.242</p> Sriudon Sirila Sittiporn Kao-un Chiradet Nakpong Thanaporn Swangthong Copyright (c) 2025 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 2025-08-29 2025-08-29 11 2 243 256 Victims’ Rights in the Justice Process: A Comparative Study between Thailand and the United Kingdom https://so04.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/WTURJ/article/view/282516 <p>At present, although Thailand has enacted legislation concerning the protection of victims’ rights in criminal justice proceedings, such as the Criminal Procedure Code and the Act on Compensation and Expenses for Injured Persons and Defendants in Criminal Cases B.E. 2544 (2001) , such legislation remains subject to a number of limitations. These include, inter alia, the lack of effective enforcement, the failure to adequately encompass psychological and social rights, the existence of overly complex procedural requirements, as well as the absence of specific legislation that systematically safeguards victims’ rights. Consequently, a considerable number of victims are deprived of genuine access to the rights to which they are legally entitled.This article examines the factual and legal dimensions of victims’ rights in Thailand, with a comparative perspective on the United Kingdom, where victim protection has evolved under the concepts of victim-centered justice and restorative justice. The study employs a comparative legal analysis, focusing on key instruments in the United Kingdom, namely the Victims’ Code, the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA), and the Victim Personal Statement (VPS).The findings demonstrate that Thailand’s system remains primarily oriented toward legal procedures and financial compensation, while the United Kingdom emphasizes victims’ active participation throughout the justice process and provides more holistic forms of redress. Based on the comparative analysis, the article proposes reforms for Thailand, including the enactment of comprehensive legislation to guarantee victims’ rights in all dimensions, the establishment of an independent supervisory body, the creation of one-stop victim service centers, and the development of a case-status notification system. Such reforms would enhance the effectiveness, comprehensiveness, and alignment of Thailand’s victim protection framework with international standards.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> Chirapan Pimwanwong Copyright (c) 2025 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 2025-08-29 2025-08-29 11 2 257 270 School Administration and Geosocial Based Sustainable Development https://so04.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/WTURJ/article/view/282869 <p>This academic article aims to study theories and concepts of school administration appropriate to the current context, analyze the concept of geosocial based sustainable development, propose approaches to school administration that support geosocial based sustainable development, and geosocial based sustainable development, and synthesize the connections between school administration and geosocial based sustainable development.
