สิทธิมนุษยชนกับกระบวนการต่อสู้ของคนไร้บ้าน : กรณีศึกษาพื้นที่กรุงเทพมหานคร

Abstract

The research entitled Human Rights and the Struggles of the Homeless People: Case study in Bangkok area aims to investigate the development, the formation, the processes and the struggles of homeless people in Bangkok. In-depth interviews were conducted with homeless people and the role of government and private sectors were analyzed. The results revealed that the factors that make people homeless and make their living in public areas include bad relationships experienced with key people in their family and weak family coherence. Social recognition is a crucial factor for them to continue staying in the public area. The struggle of the homeless people can be individual, group or network in nature. Interaction between the homeless people and the community as well as government and non-government agencies provided support for their daily lives in the public. Government agencies concerned play important roles in controlling homeless people's living area and occasionally provide support through essential material. Non-governmental organizations play an important role in relaying homeless peoples' problems, providing human rights information, and giving advice for their daily lives.
