| Research Abstract |
This research aims to study the history of the village establishments in two different regions. One research site is Amphoe Mahachanachai, Yasothorn Province, which is located in Korat plateau, the Northeastern Thailand. The other site is Amphoe Pasang, Lamphun Province in the Northern Thailand. Temporary conclusions concerning migrations and village foundations in the two regions are as follows ;
A large proportion of the villages in the first region were founded by peoples who had been migrated from Ubon and Sri Saket Provinces in the late 18th century. The migrations had been continued until the next century. They were caused by drought, flood, lack of arable land, as well as epidemics.
In case of the Northern Thailand, migrations and village foundations had occurred in as the same period as those of the northeastern region, but the causes were different. Whereas in the Northeastern Thailand migrations and village foundations were villagers' self-decision, those of the Northern Thailand were forced ones. In the beginning of the 19th century, Kawila Government often made expeditions to the northern region, which now belongs to Shan States in Myanmar. Many people in the region were compelled to leave their home land for the southern region according to the migration and resettlement policy of Kawila Government.
