ABSTRACT
The purpose of this thesis included 3 main issues: 1) to study differences of post nuptial residence patterns in urban/semi urban, rice, plantation, upland and mixed economic culture in the KDSS context; 2) to study the changing trend of post nuptial residence patterns; and 3) to study determinants of post nuptial residence in the KDSS context to order to test consequences of accessibility to household and village resources on pattern of post nuptial residence choice. Data from Kanchanaburi Demographic Surveillance Systems (KDSS) were used to analyze those associations. This study’s results found that in 2003, a large proportion of the 3,127 married women age 15-34 years old and their spouse both lived in a different village to that of their birth place (Neolocal residence). This is the main pattern in the KDSS context. Although during 5 years, the change in postnuptial residence pattern is unclear, in comparison to previous research, it was found that results of this study were different and there were great changes in the post nuptial residence patterns from the old tradition of Thai society. The results from Multinomial logistic regression suggested that cultural pattern and accessibility to household and village resources are significantly associated with postnuptial residence choice.
