Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
peaceful community measurement is complicated and needs interdisciplinary integration. This article, therefore, uses the concept of negative peace and positive peace to combine with three concepts of violence namely direct violence, structural violence, and cultural violence. Also, the literature review has multi- dimensions relating to human well-being. The researcher reviews both international and Thai relevant to obtain the body of knowledge of peace studies that have some differences between the global studies and the community studies. Also, obtain the components or key- indicators of basic peace-community index that is appropriate to Thai society. The suggestions for indexing peace-community index, that is fitting with Thai society, include having a concise definition of peace, integrating multi-indicators as well as having clear criteria for selecting them, also collecting data in both primary and secondary levels, and rational choosing a pilot area for peace measurement.
