Description
INTRODUCTION The Lampao Dam is the largest soil dam in northeast Thailand under the irrigation project for agriculture. There is no electricity production. It was built in 1963 and completed in 1968 to bar the Lampao River and Huai Yang Canal at Ban Nong Song Hong, Tambon Lampao, Amphoe Mueang Kalasin. Building the Lampao Dam could impact the way of life of the villagers around the dam. There were changes in being land ownerships because the government purchased the lands from the villagers to build the dam and the government asked for the public lands. The villagers had to change their occupation from rice farming to fishing career because they had no lands for livingmaking and they could not gather food from natural forests (Mibun et al., 2007). This cause study of Ban Sa-at Na Thom, Tambon Lamkhlong, Amphoe Mueang, Changwat Kalasin examined the background of building of the dam and changes in careers of the villagers at Ban Sa-at Na Thom from rice farming the chief career to be fishermen. This was generated from the villagers' way of thinking: What causes can connect to the use of water source from the dam? And how does the water from the dam play its role in the way of life of Ban Sa-at Na Thom villagers?
