Abstract

The objectives of this research were to: 1) to study the level of water resource management and, 2) to compare the level of water resource management in the watershed area of Nan basin communities. The research used a mixed method research design namely "Convergent Design" which blended the quantitative method and the qualitative method at the same time. The results showed that the levels of water resources management in Nan community were at a highly both overall and separately. However, when analyzing all lists, the majority of water resources management were at a highly (x ̅ = 1.58 - 1.95), and only one variable was considered moderately suitable. The multiple comparisons of water resource management levels were classified by watershed in terms of upstream, midstream, and downstream. The result showed that at least two pairs of water resource management differed significantly at the level of 0.05 namely upstream and midstream, midstream and downstream. It was noteworthy that, in the building relationship dimension, all pairs of water resource management levels differed significantly. In addition, water resources management levels varied depending upon the physical, social and cultural contexts in each area. In terms of the upstream, high sloped land, a plurality of ethnic groups, and beliefs in ghosts were the main factors. In terms of the middle stream, a strong network in the community and support by government were the essential conditions. For the lowland area, a flat area, a high cost of pumping water, and key informants do not join the project were the Important Determinants.
