“…For instance, in Chanthaburi, a directive was issued prohibiting the entry of migrant workers from other provinces, necessitating authorization for agricultural workers to move within the region [51]. Given the essential role played in the Thai agricultural economy by migrant laborers, who constitute a substantial portion of the sector's workforce [52], many farmers were compelled to pivot away from or suspend activities related to labor-intensive crops (e.g., rubber and durian). Instead, there was a discernible shift towards cultivating less labor-intensive crops, such as mangosteen and pineapple.…”

This study aims to understand the spatiotemporal changes in patterns of tropical crop cultivation in Eastern Thailand, encompassing the periods before, during, and after the COVID-19 pandemic. Our approach involved assessing the efficacy of high-resolution (10 m) Sentinel-2 dense image time series for mapping smallholder farmlands. We integrated harmonic regression and random forest to map a diverse array of tropical crop types between summer 2017 and summer 2023, including durian, rice, rubber, eucalyptus, oil palm, pineapple, sugarcane, cassava, mangosteen, coconut, and other crops. The results revealed an overall mapping accuracy of 85.6%, with several crop types exceeding 90%. High-resolution imagery demonstrated particular effectiveness in situations involving intercropping, a popular practice of simultaneously growing two or more plant species in the same patch of land. However, we observed overestimation in the majority of the studied cash crops, primarily those located in young plantations with open tree canopies and grass-covered ground surfaces. The adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic were observed in specific labor-intensive crops, including rubber and durian, but were limited to the short term. No discernible impact was noted across the entirety of the study timeframe. In comparison, financial gain and climate change appeared to be more pivotal in influencing farmers’ decisions regarding crop cultivation. Traditionally dominant crops such as rice and oil palm have witnessed a discernible decline in cultivation, reflecting a decade-long trend of price drops preceding the pandemic. Conversely, Thai durian has seen a significant upswing even over the pandemic, which ironically served as a catalyst prompting Thai farmers to adopt e-commerce to meet the surging demand, particularly from China.

“…According to the study made by Musikawong [6], Tioseco [3], Song [7] and Yaping [2], independent films of any restrictions are not a factor for audience"s patronage for they are after the story and theme of the film. Each film can go in any creative direction, all of which are designed to mirror today"s society.…”

Abstract-Stuart Hall's Reception Study Theory explains that the reader / viewer interpret the meaning of the text based on their individual cultural background and life experiences. In essence, the meaning of a text is not inherent within the text itself, but is created within the relationship between the text and the reader/ viewer. The purpose of the current research is to find out the perceptions of Intramuros based Audiences on Indie films. A total of 152 Communication students were selected through a non-probability, purposive sampling. A two part survey questionnaire was used to measure the knowledge, attitude and practices of Communication students towards independent films. Pearson Correlation and comparison of means, cross-tabulations, and frequency tables were used. Frequency distributions were used to compute their response. Readiness of the respondents to embrace this new industry has been shown in this research study.
