Abstract | This research aims to analyze and develop risk assessment criteria for spatial management in drug prevention and suppression following the enforcement of the Narcotics Code 2021, with a case study focusing on Chiang Rai Province of Thailand. The study employed a qualitative research methodology, collecting data through (1) in-depth interviews with 40 experts involved in drug prevention and suppression policies and strategies in Chiang Rai, (2) a focus group discussion with seven specialists, and (3) documentary research. Data were analyzed using content analysis, and triangulation was employed to verify accuracy. The findings revealed that Chiang Rai had conducted drug-related problem assessments at the village/community level through the Chiang Rai Provincial Narcotics Control Center. The results were utilized in the planning and executing drug policies in the area. However, due to limitations in integrated spatial management and the complexity of the causes and solutions to drug problems, developing risk assessment criteria for spatial management in drug prevention and suppression became necessary. These criteria were designed to assess the severity of the situation based on dimensions of risk, impact, and the complexity of problem-solving. |
