1. Annual Report
Chiang Mai University School of Public Policy
2018

2. The first year of our new CMU School of Public Policy (CMU-SPP) has been very eventful.
We conducted several key research projects for the northern region of Thailand
including the haze issue, urban mobility, and smart city.
We officially launched our PhD and MA in Public Policy programs.
The School also started a series of Policy Market platforms to engage with
stakeholders in constructive policy dialogues. They were on energy policy, blockchain
technology, urban development, and disability or the differently abled.
We also conducted several workshops on scenario planning for clients in Thailand.
We could not have accomplished all of this without the full support from
Chiang Mai University - the University Council members, the President,
and all the Vice-Presidents. We would like to also thank all our key partners
for believing in our work and trusting us.
We look forward to working with all of you again.

3. To make Asia more sustainable for all by supporting sound public policies, encouraging
responsible leadership, and providing collaborative platforms
Production of research work and
public policy specialists that are nationally
and inter- nationally recognized.
- To generate top quality research products and platforms, with cross- disciplinary
approach founded on reli- able information, that can help en- hance
public policy decisions.
- To train scholars and practitioners in skills related to public policy including
policy-making, policy analysis, policy communication, and policy advocacy.
- To shape new discourses on our un- derstanding and practices of public policy
processes in the world.

4. Smart
City
CMU-SPP mobilized stakeholders of Chiang Mai
to conceptualize the Chiang Mai Smart City Plan.
A comprehensive website in Thai, English, and Chinese,
a logo, and 24 short videos were produced to generate ideas.
Numerous workshops, including with TEDx Chiangmai,
were held to publicize the concept. The Plan focuses on
addressing smart city, not just as the opportunity for
technological advancement but also for Chiang Mai to rethink
its urban development strategies, as well as for Chiang Mai
people, including migrants and residents, to become
constructive citizens of the city. Our research cautions
public leaders against blindly investing in technology.
The Plan suggests dividing between investments in
the physical platform (mobility and environment),
the digital platform (government and economy), and
the deliberative platform (people and living).
Each platform has short-term, medium-term,
and long-term projects. It endorses three flagship projects,
which are
1) Smart Nimman,
2) 30 Minute City, and
3) Heritage City.
One key aspect of this project is that it requires future
thinking and design thinking skills, in addition to deliberative
and facilitative skills. With rational and analytical
thinking alone, it would be difficult to imagine all possibilities
for the city.

5. Haze
Thailand
Free
In collaboration with the wider cluster of Haze Free
Thailand research projects, our research on the haze issue in
Northern Thailand confirms that this transboundary
air pollution problem is a classic example of a wicked and
complex problem. It also depicts problems of income
inequality between highlanders and city dwellers.
The problem has endured for a long time (over 10 years),
there are many factors involved such as climate, geographical
location, wind direction, and economic and land use behav-
iors.
The problem is also related to behaviors of the general
public in burning, and the complex relationship between
highlanders and forest fires. Recently,
the problem is considered transboundary because
the forest fires originate from all the countries in the region
and not just Thailand. CMU-SPP has provided a holistic plan
for the Provincial Office to tackle is complex issue. The Plan
suggest four key strategies
1) People
2) City
3) Forest
4) Livelihood
For the people, first and foremost is to raise awareness
on the harm of haze and small dust particles. For the city,
it is crucial, to create a smart, clean, and green city of
Chiang Mai. This is to help protect the citizens with a place of
sanctuary. For the forest, it is suggested to proactively pro-
tect the remaining parts and to add new protected areas.
Lastly for the livelihoods, it is important to create new high
value-added economic opportunities for the highlanders.
This is in the hopes that there will be less slash and burn
activities in the mountains.

6. Urban
Mobility
Chiang Mai and nearby provinces lack basic
infrastructure for intra-provincial transportation.
All the municipalities also lack descent public transportation.
This studied investigated the mobility capacity of people
in the upper north region of Thailand. As expected, the cost of
travel between cities of northern provinces is very high.
This impedes strong economic growth between cities.
The study also investigated parking spaces and the possibility
of other modes of public transport in Chiang Mai city,
particularly in the Nimman district.
CMU-SPP suggests strategies to reform laws and
the setup of a committee to oversee transportation systems
in the city. Hence, there is an urgent need to merge varying
modalities of transportation. From this study, CMU-SPP
proposes two plans. One for the overall transportation policy
for Chiang Mai and nearby satellite cities.
The other for managing the parking space on Nimman road.
This issue requires a re-interpretation of the problem
(i.e. traffic jam to mobility capacity), needs futures thinking
to imagine the possibilities, and also needs technical
expertise on urban transport and public parking to come up
with such plans.

7. Training
CMU-SPP conducted a multi-level training program for officials of Northern Thailand called
‘Helicopter View’. The training program, aimed at junior, mid-level, and high-level public officials,
focused on 21st century skill sets for public officials. They are design thinking, futures thinking,
complexity thinking, and collaborative skills. Over 110 officials were trained over a three months
period. Participants were able to prepare project ideas for their respective fields of responsibility
such as eco-tourism, aging society, heritage tourism, and agro-tourism.
In addition, CMU-SPP conducted two training programs on scenario planning and foresight,
one for the Chiang Mai University planning team, and the other for 20 leaders of public universities
in Thailand. The first program led to the formation of four future scenarios for Chiang Mai city,
which in turn helped to shape the university’s strategic plans. The second program opened leaders’
views toward the future of higher education and universities in Thailand. Many saw the need to
design new educational products, to provide online learning platforms, and to merge existing
traditional disciplinary programs. Based on our trainings on futures skills,
CMU-SPP is now a proud member of Thailand’s Futurists Network,
led by the National Innovation Agency of Thailand.

8. Policy
Market
CMU-SPP designed a platform called ‘Policy Market’
to facilitate processes for deliberative policy analysis.
We designed it based on the aim to compliment empirical
information with an opportunity for stakeholders to
deliberate on policies and public projects. It is modeled on
the concept of mini-publics. It is also an offline channel for
CMU-SPP to ‘share our story’ and co-create ideas and
re-define issues with other actors in a given policy arena. The
philosophy of the platform it that it is a non-hierarchical
space, like a market, for people who are interested to freely
join and participate. The platform does not encourage
formalities, usage of titles, and bureaucratic language.
In 2018, we organized four events.
1) Policy Market EP1: Energy Policy Options
2) Policy Market EP2: Blockchain and
the Future of Public Policy
3) Policy Market EP3: Urban Expo
4) Policy Market EP4: Differently Abled
Products from these events include policy briefs,
videos, social media blogs, and poster for dissemination.
We look forward to continuing organizing meaningful events
for Thailand and the Asian region.
