peaceful society.

firmly established are facing challenges such as exclusion of certain groups
of people, lack of political participation, and poverty. These problems

usually lead to chronic conflict in the society. Without a proper solution,
violence will eventually occur.

around the world. Loss of life and property harms people physically and
mentally. Many countries have been reformed through violence in different

contexts. Many countries focus on the transition to democracy. Success is
driven by many related sectors to overcome obstacles. In Thailand, there

is a need for an appropriate process with a social and political dimension
taking place in the past including violence in the southern border prov-

inces, political foundation, and environmental resources to lead to the
goals of peace and social justice.
