Abstract

This study aimed to study the area-based development in managing common-pool resources of the underground water bank system in Kao Kham Subdistrict Administrative Organization area, Nam Yuen District, Ubon Ratchathani. A qualitative research was employed by a case study. The case study was selected from the area of Kao Kham Sub-district Administrative Organization, where was a holistic study. Data were collected through interviews with 20 respondents using a semi-structured interview form and small group meetings for brainstorming. The results were analyzed by a content analysis to find the consistency of the data according to the objective and data triangulation was employed. The study found that the case study began the area-based development in area with repeated flooding and drought problems through the underground water bank project with 2 systems and 5 models since 2015. However, a problem was found related to the confidence of the people sector and local agencies in solving the problem and planning a management system for the underground water bank system in the area. In 2020, digital technology has been employed for management planning and follow-up on water data reports in the underground water bank system, and in 2022, a supportive system for the underground water bank has been developed by a water pumping system contained in a tank and distributing water to groups of farmers who did off-season farming. Based on the area-based development of the management of the underground water bank system, it could analyze the consistency of the results of operations under the common-pool resources management to prevent and solve water-related disasters of the case study in totaling 8 dimensions according to the concept of Elinor Ostrom.
