Abstract
The history of the displaced person’s issue in Thailand is briefly summarised, including how many have settled and why. The three shelters studied are then described in environmental terms, including their locations, topography, natural disasters, climate, flora and fauna. The relationship of the local population to its environment, is described, including the sustainable use of natural resources. The changes caused by a large influx of displaced persons and their settlements are described.
