TEAM GROUP is among Thailands very first groups to study impacts on environment and implement public participation activities.
Mostly, we reached out to local people during the planning
process in order to listen to their opinions, identify their problems, and explore possible solutions with them until a mutual agreement is reached. We have successfully worked out excellent development approach for planned projects thanks to significant input from local people.
Sometimes, people to be adversely affected by the project
have agreed to make sacrifices after learning from our team that the planned projects will benefit the public considerably. Our team has also keenly listened to the needs of these stakeholders to ensure that they will get what they deserve in exchange for their sacrifices.
Through remedial actions, the affected peoples quality of life improves while development projects proceed. Such approaches have allowed TEAM GROUP to evolve its public participation and PR work up to the present day.

In Thailand, the first environmental impact assessment (EIA) was conducted around
1971 or 1972 for the Chao Nen Dam Development Project (the dam was later renamed the
Srinakharin Dam) in response to the World Banks advice. Later, several major dam projects
followed and all of them incorporated EIAs. Thailand has now enforced legislation that requires
projects with likely impacts on people to conduct EIAs and to seek approval from the National
Environment Board prior to project implementation.
2. TEAM GROUP is among Thailands very first groups to study
impacts on environment and implement public participation ac-tivities.
Mostly, we reached out to local people during the planning
process in order to listen to their opinions, identify their problems,
and explore possible solutions with them until a mutual agreement
is reached. We have successfully worked out excellent development
approach for planned projects thanks to significant input from local
people. Sometimes, people to be adversely affected by the project
have agreed to make sacrifices after learning from our team that
the planned projects will benefit the public considerably. Our team
has also keenly listened to the needs of these stakeholders to ensure
that they will get what they deserve in exchange for their sacrifices.
Through remedial actions, the affected peoples quality of life im-proves
while development projects proceed. Such approaches have
allowed TEAM GROUP to evolve its public participation and PR work
up to the present day.
When TEAM GROUP was commissioned to plan flood solutions
for the Fang River Basin, we assigned a team to probe local people
not only about what would solve problems but also what would win
their acceptance. With a people-centered approach, we received
constructive advice from the locals and entered the information into
our academically-tested hydraulic engineering to develop the solu-tion.
Our work process did not end there. We returned to the locals
to present the outcome and received a very favorable response.
Additionally, one of the factors that brought success to this project
was that we integrated both PR and public participation into
our methodology. We visited local people not just to share
our ideas but also to hear their voices. Throughout our
operations, we always adhere to this principle.
Under this principle, the work process takes
time to create shared understanding and engage
local people before we launch a project. It may
take years to conduct PR and public participation
activities even for a small project that will affect
just a four- or five-digit number of people.
However, development projects will achieve
their goals only when public participation is a
part of the development process and project
developers seriously pay attention to advice
given by consultants who have conducted
studies among local residents.
