A Study of Bangkok Urban Economic History : Investments and Urban Development by The Privy Purse Bureau

我的项目是基于对这些问题的以下认识。一是考察历史上阻碍城市空间规划形成的土地所有权强势的原因，二是揭示王室拥有大量土地的历史渊源。在泰国，直到20世纪初，“国王是唯一的地主”的思想仍然存在，人民的私有制受到国王(国家)的限制。然而，到今天结束时，对私人权利的滥用已经反过来蔓延。为什么以及什么时候会出现这样的倒置？我考虑了所有权的性质，回到了1901年的《土地法》，探索了泰式土地所有权思想的起源。其次，我从历史上解决了皇室积累土地的问题。曼谷的城市发展导致了贫民窟的拆除和居民的强制搬迁，并在今天引发了土地纠纷。其中许多纠纷是在王室和居民之间引发的，因为管理王室财产的王室财产局在曼谷拥有不少于800公顷的土地，并计划搬迁一名当地居民，目的是提高土地利用效率。如此大规模的王室财产是如何积累起来的，又是何时积累起来的？在本研究中，我对这种皇室财产(土地)的起源进行了调查，为了解决上述问题，我在项目期间进行了大约3次田野调查。此外，我还聘请了法政大学的研究生作为助理，在他们的帮助下，我能够广泛阅读国家档案馆的官方文件、信件或回忆录等第一批数据。这些数据对研究非常有用。

My project is based on the following awareness of the issues. The 1st is to investigate the cause of the strength of the landownership which has prevented the planned formation of city space historically, and the 2nd is to expose the historical origin of huge land possession by a royal family.In Thailand, till the beginning of the 20th century, the idea, "a king was the only landowner", has remained and the people's private ownership was restricted by the king (state). However, abuse of a private right has spread conversely by the end of today. Why and when did such an inversion arise? I considered the character of ownership, having gone back to "The Land Law of 1901", and exploring the origin of a land ownership idea such Thai type.Next, I solved historically about the land accumulation by the royal family. The urban development of Bangkok causes demolition of a slum, and compulsory removal of residents, and is generating land disputes today. Many of these disputes are gotten up between a royal family and residents, Because the Crown Property Bureau which manages the property of a royal family, owned no less than 800ha land in Bangkok and planned removal of a local resident, aiming at efficient land use. How and when was such a largescale royal family lot accumulated? I investigated the origin of such royal family property (land) in this research.I tried the field survey about 3 times during the project in order to solve the above subjects. Moreover, I was able to employ the graduate students of Thammasart University as assistants, and was able to read the first data extensively for official documents, letters, or memoirs from the National Archives etc. with their help. These data were greatly useful to research.
