| Research Abstract |
1.Theory of Social development
Social development consists of the improvement of life-infrastructure, community development, and human development. The improvement of life-infrastructure means to develop human services such as medicine, health and sanitation, and education. Community development refers to changing a traditional community into a modern community by organizing groups and acquiring new behavior. Human development is the process of awakening people's consciousness in ways that create a sense of empowerment. The process of social development is practically suited to Asian developing countries. Sociology gives the framework of social development by micro level of social action to human development, mezzo level of life style to the improvement of life-infrastructure and macro level of social group and regional society (family and organization) to community development.
2.Case Study of Social Development in Developing Countries
This research examines social development in Thailand and Sri Lanka. The discussions of Thailand and Sri Lanka show that development has not been simply agricultural technical development, but human development based on Buddhism. Development through Buddhist ideals is compared to development based on Catholic teachings."Development monks"play an important role in poor villages. They teach not only Buddhism, but also improved ways of daily life to villagers by working together with them. In many cases, the first step is human development, the second step community development, and the last the improvement of life-infrastructure.
3.Publication of"Development Sociology"by Minerva Publishing
This book shows a new interpretation about social development from the viewpoint of development sociology. It is the purpose of the book to point out that social development is both the starting point of development, and important in itself.
