Among the changing dynamics of the world in the current, development and driving force of globalization. Causing many changes in Thai society And there are overlapping characteristics of changes in political, economic, social and cultural dimensions. Became a problem that no one could understand and provide a real answer to the changes in Thai society While people continue to live in the midst of ignorance in all respects. Because of the change that happened Not just a change in some dimensions But it is a change in the structure and the system of relationships that are holistic in Thai society. Significant changes and play a part in the lives of people in Thai society. One is to change the meaning and act on the “space” of the people in society, especially urbanization. (Urbanization) that focuses mainly on economic and material-based development, with the power of the state and capital achieved through various forms of economic development, especially the physical transformation of the city. Causing an impact on all life in urban areas No way out Because the state and capital have created a powerful discourse to transform the space. Which is not the only set of discourses that claim to be knowledge It is a series of discourses that create new hopes for people to entice them to come together to create change in the meaning of that discourse. Whether it is a livable city (Healthy City), Sustainable City and Smart City To concentrate on urban development of the state and the said capital It is often based on myth and imagines a city with a middle class at its core and ignoring others without trying to realize the impact that development has on the lives of people with differences. Intricate Driving with the imagination of a dream city benefits a specific group of people. For example, the capital group has partnered with the state to transform the “area” in order to fully meet the accumulation of its own capital, for example, in the form of establishing a city development company in the major provinces throughout the country. Including large cities in the Isan region such as Khon Kaen Including the expansion of all forms of transport development to connect the main city and the secondary city Until it affected many areas such as Nakhon Ratchasima, Ubon Ratchathani and Khon Kaen In the midst of the evolving development trend of cities in the Isaan region, the city has been hit by the economic, social, political, environmental and economic machinery that has emerged over the past two decades. Studies focused on these changes focus on concrete objects. Instead, it freezes the knowledge of “people”, especially the little ones, the disadvantaged and marginalized people in the name of “urban poor”, whether it is a way of life in the middle of change. The movement in and out of the city, both willing and unwilling Unstable politics Deprivation of development Leading to inequality And social injustice Connected with each other until they are inseparable From the above problem Together with the demands of the people’s brothers and sisters in the name of Khon Kaen Creative People Rehabilitation Network In requesting academic services about knowledge that is up to the development of Khon Kaen, therefore, the Doctor of Philosophy course Department of Development Sciences By the social sciences (social development), faculty of humanities and social sciences Khon Kaen University Therefore, it is thought that it is time for us to fill the point of education in the social sciences. It aims to fill the knowledge of “urban people” to have knowledge up to the development of the right to the city (Right to the City), because urban areas should be the area of ​​opportunity for all peoples. And are treated as members of society equally. In addition, it is the wisdom of the society that helps ignite knowledge of such little people. It is also considered to operate in line with the university’s wishes that said “Khon Kaen University, 50 Years of Dedication for Society” and is a university of Isan people.
