520			_aThis Research Study arose from the SPRING-HSD District Development Planning Study of Three Districts Of Prachaup Kiri Khan Province, Western Thailand in January of 1994. The main objective of this study was to explore the various integrative diversification farming activities of the study area which is currently dominated by coconut and other perennial tree crops. Through this exercise, the current production practices of the main diversification strategies as well as their problems and constraints and the level and type of support services rendered by public and private sectors of concern was analyzed. This eventually lead to some possible implementable recommendations for the sustainable success of the current and future integrative diversification strategies. It was found that, of the perennial tree crop based farming system being the dominant system in the area, coconut integrated with cattle production along with pasture, fodder and forage treecrop integration offers the best possible and sustainable diversification strategy because of their high complementarity. This is so considering the constraints of land, labour capital and the physical constraints of climate, soil, irrigational facilities as well as low adaptability of cattle breeds being promoted in the study area. The public and private sector agencies of concern are assisting in these efforts but the need for further and increased levels of assistance exist. This is anticipated to come about through institutional reforms and greater co- ordination of sectoral activities for synergistic effects. Note: This Research Study was completed as part of the SPRING-Asia Programme. SPRING is an acronym for Spatial Planning for Regions in Growing Economies, a MSc. degree program offered jointly by the University of Dortmund in Germany and the AIT in Bangkok, Thailand. Under the SPRING-Asia Programme, a research study carrying 12 credits must be done within one term. As the individual research study commences post SPRING District Planning Study, the topic for individual research study is often preferred to be identified and s el ected from the workshop report that is generated. The advantage is that the necessary background study and resulting report is the basis for further study of the se 1 ected topic. Therefore, the SPRING- Asia Programme differs from other MSc. degree programmes at AIT in that, most students write a thesis over a e i ght month period.
