What is Local wisdom? is basic knowledge gained from living in balance with nature. It is related to culture in the community which is accumulated and passed on. This wisdom can be both abstract and concrete, but the important characteristics are that it comes from experiences or truth gained from life. The wisdom from real experiences integrates the body, the spirit and the environment. It emphasizes respect for elders and their life experiences. Moreover, it values morals more than material things (Nakorntap et. al., 1996).Boonpanya (2006) the senior developer of the Assembly of Isaan Private Development Organization, describes the history and evolution of local community. The community has its own culture, is a miniature society with a production system, resource management, a health system, a knowledge and learning system, a judicial system, self-governance, and an economic system run by each family and the community. The goals of local community are that families can be self-sufficient and the community can survive. Family members are the main source of labor. They mostly produce for their own families’ consumption, but when they sell something, the profits are very small. The people in the community live together by giving and helping without expecting anything in return. They all consider themselves to be related to every other person in the community. They share what they have with neighbors thus ensuring the survival of the families and the community. The members of the community are all related and give utmost respect to elders. This makes them “one family” living with unconditional kindness and generosity. When conflicts arise, the elders and various relatives are the ones who decide how to settle matters. A traditional community emphasizes farming. They generally produce only a little more than what they need for each household, and when there is surplus, they trade it or use it for religious purposes. The people live in balance with nature, not as masters of nature. The people respect and value each other according to the principle that each person has value as a human being. In general, communities before globalization lived harmoniously with nature. They had religion as a spiritual restraint, and respected elders. The people in the community valued one another over money and lived peacefully. In contrast, only since the mid 1950’s have communities changed as a result of the newly introduced capitalism, and more recently, globalization.
