Abstract
This research article aimed to present a sustainable model of land-use management in protected forest areas across 7 provinces in Lower Southern Thailand. The study employed a qualitative approach, drawing on document analysis, in-depth interviews with 388 participants, 42 participatory workshops, and field observations. Data were analyzed through classification and systematization.
The findings indicated that a model for sustainable land-use management requires clearly delineating and segregating areas between community land and state-managed forest areas. This involves establishing boundaries for residential and agricultural land relative to protected forest zones, recognizing community land-use rights, and defining governance and land-use management practices.
