Abstract
The research article consisted of the following objectives: 1) to investigate problems and causes of conflicts; 2) to explore the conflict management; and 3) to investigate the model and political approach to conflict management of Bang Yai - Kanchanaburi Intercity Motorway Project. The study employed a qualitative research method, with 66 key informants selected through purposive sampling from the government, public, and private sectors. The instrument was an interview form. The obtained data were analyzed by way of descriptive statistics.
From the study, the following results are found: 1) The problems and conflicts are as follows: (1) On relationship, which is a result of a lack of confidence, trust, and opportunities provided for people to participate; (2) On information, which is a result of a mistaken perception of information and understanding; (3) On value, which is a result of the project areas that affect the traditional way of life; (4) On structure, which is a result of project delivery areas and construction lines that cross and overlap with other agencies; and (5) On benefit, which is a result of underestimating compensation, 2) The conflict management includes the following: (1) Acceptance which can be achieved by a process of listening to opinions and the participation of all conflicting parties; (2) Compromising which can be achieved by having the government and the people work together to identify approaches and needs for problem solving; and (3) Collaboration which can be achieved by having the government and the people work together to solve problems, and the government should support and supply academic information, 3) The model and political approach to conflict management include: the development of an environmental impact report, the power structure of community and local leaders, the difference in benefits from purchase of land, the difference in views on public benefits between central and local governments, involvement and listening to the views of those who have been affected.
