Sc.) - Asian Institute of Technology, 1986  aThis study attempts to evaluate the women's groups activities located in self-help land settlements in NE Thailand. It attempts to establish the degree of involvement of women and to identify the problems  encountered in the implementation of government sponsored women's groups  activities, whether occupation-related or social activities.  It was found that the women most appreciated those women's groups  activities which they perceived could improve their household economic  status or their family's standard of living . The difference between the  on-going women's group activities and those which had ceased related to  the leadership of the management group and the type of activities . Also  the degree to which those activities are consistent with the traditional  skills or knowledge of the women seemed to influence the continuity of  the activities. Women's groups were however affected by major marketing  problems.  It is suggested that the government officials in land settlements  take more initiative in trying to coordinate among the different organizations in order to introduce appropriate activities to suitable women's  groups after problem analysis and feasibility study. An officer should  be specifically responsible for assistance to and follow-up of the implementation of the women's group activities 0aWomen in community developmentxThailand, Northeastern1 aTips, Walter E.
