dc.description.abstractFisheries represent one of Thailand's most important activities, contributing about two to three percent to the Gross National Product (GNP) annually, and account for eleven percent of agriculture GNP. Thailand boasts one of the ten largest fishing industries in the world. Small scale fisheries are still an important source of rural employment and food in Thailand. They account for three-quarter of the nation's fishermen, and they provide one-quarters of the total fish landings. -- small scale fishermen in Thailand are increasingly facing the problem of limited fishery resources, which has led to conflicts among the resource users. The conflicts between small scale fishermen and commercial fishermen have had a major impact on the local economy and society. Conflict between squid trap fishermen and trawlers in the Gulf of Thailand is one problem that has existed for many years without amelioration. The conflict arises from the destruction of squid traps by trawlers. This study reviews the fishing industries in Thailand, the nature of the conflict between squid trap fishermen and trawlers, and investigates the characteristics of squid trap fishermen. It concentrates on acquiring information on the perceptions of squid trap fishermen toward the conflict and their suggestions as to how to resolve this problem. The study is based on the concepts and guidelines developed in environmental perception and attitude research. The research is designed to collect the data from the squid trap fishermen by questionnaire survey. It presents the results of 104 respondents in the selected study area. The responses of squid trap fishermen from three provinces in east coast Thailand are compared. The findings illustrate the seriousness of the conflict between squid trap fishermen and trawlers, and indicate the need for the amelioration of this problem.en
