This research was to study socialization of families which was strong community an application of the Buddha’s teachings for drug prevention, reduction and influence of community by means of Buddhist point of view. To conduct this research work, a number of concepts and theories involving were carefully reviewed i.e. concepts and experiences in solving drug problems in Thai society, concepts and theories of family and socialization, the Buddha’s teachings being applied by families as the principles of socialization and the concepts of community organization and strong community.
Since this research was partly concerned with field work, applied research. And the participatory action research (PAR) have been used for the methods of study in covering 128 of families in Ban Pea community, Ban Pea Sub-Districe, Chomthong district, Chiang Mai, Thailand. 7 families in the community have been selected as the sampling for this research.
The findings of this research were as follows:
Firstly, with regard to family socialization in a strong community, it was found that Ban Pea community possesses some unique factors i.e. cooperation, sharing of ideas, problem solving, social activity engagement, which were conductive to build a strong community. Moreover, it is interesting to note that parents play very important roles in family socialization. They are role of model for their children in living a good life such as –being rational following of the Buddha’s teachings etc. not only these parents’ roles create a desirable family, but they also pave the way for a happy family as well as a strong community.
Secondly, with respect application of the Buddha’s teaching for the prevention and reduction of drug abuse, it can be said that as Ban Pea community has been a follower of Buddhism for many generations. Buddhist temple is always regarded as a “Unity Centre” of community. The Buddha’s teachings that are frequently used for socialization me classified into four main categories i.e. child–oriented teaching, self-development, gratitude, and duty performance. Besides, socialization in the Buddhist perspective may be further type tied into four categories i.e. socialization with consideration of all components, equality, individual differences and the emphasis on child development. Application of thee factors, however, was still in the process of development so that the drug problem may really be eradicated.
Finally, with regard to influence of community on family socialization by means of Buddhism, it was found that Ban Pea community has many organizations with variedly of roles which were divided into three main groups i.e. economic organization political organization, and social and cultural organization,
Members of community may, however, be more than one organization. These groups are two characteristics depending on two backgrounds i.e. culture and government. The latter depends on external factors such as government support for its existence whereas the former relies of internal factors i.e. cooperation among community members.
It may be concluded that every existence and strength of community organizations depends on experience and participation of people the community through the process supported the government called “development’. It is interesting to note again that make group in the community is specialized in environmental management and income generating. Female group has a conservative idea and gives an emphasis on traditional social institutions. While youth group needs care for their family believe capacity to build a strong community with special emphasis on self sufficiency of economy which is suitable for sustainable community for the developing in the future.
