Abstract

This paper analyzes the relationships between the principles of governance and the Sufficiency Economy Philosophy and suggests guidelines for enhancing governance toward sustainable development of local communities. The qualitative research method is applied through documentary reviews, focused group discussion, and non-participating observation on community environment, community development, and villagers’ way of living with respect to the principles of governance and the Sufficiency Economy Philosophy. Two chaw sa-ad villages, pilot models for promoting governance selected by the Office of the National Anti-Corruption Commission, namely, Baan Thakhoinang of Sisaket Province and Baan Khulamphan of Prachinburi Province were used for case study. The results indicate that the four pillars of chaw sa-ad under the integrated approach of bovorn or village-temple-and-school connected with the principles of governance and the Sufficiency Economy Philosophy’s salient components of knowledge and integrity are key drivers toward sustainable development of local communities.
