Data was collected using several methods in the period 2010–
2014. In Bo Nok, formal interviews, with prior consent, were conducted
with 14 key stakeholders – including people in the movement,
provincial government, and village leaders – and 22 people
from four villages in the sub-district, to get a better understanding
of the public opinion and livelihood context in the area. Homestays
were arranged to create space for observation and informal talks.
Sixteen additional interviews were held with NGOs, academics,
and policy makers in Bangkok. The interviews were complemented
with data from newspaper articles (retrieved through search
engine Factiva), reports and books.
