ABSTRACT
The objectives of The Study of the Identity and community Movement of Kaoseng Community in Songkhla
Province were 1) to study the change in the procedure of community identity construction that affected power
negotiation and community position change, and 2) to study the use of community identity as power base for
community position change from various dimensions of community movement and development through
perspectives of community, identity, and space to make up an approach to the study.
The findings of the study were as follows. Congested communities were constructed and embedded with
“identity” under the guise of slums and positioned as stains of a city, as with Kaoseng Community, which was
branded as a problem area and alienated with a stamp of repulsive identity as an area underdeveloped, dirty, foul-
smelling, deteriorating, and as an urban focal point of problems, so as to justify its eradication/elimination and
then to manipulate its management to serve the policy of tourism development from early in the decade of 1987’s
onward.
Community negotiation and response caused area change as well as self-awareness and community-identity
awareness in four ways: 1) identity change by linking with urban in community development and social
movement, as in the conveying of written appeal, protest, marching, and linking-up media campaigns, while at the
same time came the establishing of a process of community development based on the problems confronted, so as
to change the codification and awareness on “space”, “self”, and “collective identity” of the community; 2)
identity change as an urban part after the ideology of state-sector development, with environment and tourism
issues, so as to construct and establish community identity firmly in Songkhla City; 3) identity change to form
society on legends so as to give redefinitions by extending the community boundary to embrace local phenomena
and social-relation networks, as well as making social space by adopting on the basis of belief and faith; and 4)
identity change after the Government Housing Project : community physical change led to the change of
community status and position to a new class of people equal in status to urban community. The change, some
how was an alienation for the community. The community identity change based on the response of community as
well as the use of identity for position was not static, it was in flux and flow according to the selected community
space which effected the decision making for strategy and tactics of identity formation.
