Abstract

The lead released from a mine in Klity village killed many people, especially children. Moreover, it destroyed the ways of livesof the community and damaged the environment severely. The voices of the marginal Klity villagers have not been heard for over 10years. These voices of both physical and mental pain have finally led to the fight being heard and the faint voices have now beenamplified and heard by both the public and the ears of justice. The objective of this study is to discover how this overlooked communitywill be able to reconstruct their identity and create community self-expression in the public realm. Documentary research, participantobservation and interviews have been designed to collect data. The voice of Klity has never been heard until the media started torelease news about Klity. This communication is meant to allow the society to perceive facts and feelings. Simultaneously, thecommunity has had to struggle with structural power and mainstream cultures in order to receive recognition as humankind with humandignity as well as human security. The Klity case is the first environmental case in Thailand where the community has won a lawsuitagainst a powerful mine company and governmental organization, and this has raised public awareness about risk and socialconsciousness.

Abstract

Shaping Traditional and Modern Approaches to Mitigate Impacts of Mining Industry: A case study of Karen Village, LowerKlity Creek, Thailand aims to analyze the effectiveness of mitigation measures, in the past and at present, for solving the problems ofcontamination of lead in waste water releasing from mines into the creek. Secondly, this project also aims to present mitigate measurethat is the hybrid of traditional folk wisdom and modern technology in solving the problem. The study is carried out under documentaryresearch, interview approach and participant observation. The descriptive analysis is designed to analyze the data. As the villagershave to rely on the creek not only as their main food source but also in other consumer activities, they are poisoned by leadcontamination in the creek. This resulted in both physical and mental illness, especially in children; some children died from suchcontamination, while some became disabled. As for the environmental aspect, the ecosystem is severely damaged. This impact resultedin mitigation measures from various sectors to tackle the issue. However, these mitigation measures were not successful due to lack ofconsistency in operations and follow-up, lack of long-term relief budget plan, failure to understand the villagers’ ways of life, and lack ofintegration and extension of further knowledge and practice. Thus, the measure presented in this research is that of a hybrid betweenthe folkways and modern technology in order that the villagers and responsible organizations will be able to adapt it to achieve theeffective solution of the problem in the future.
