| Abstract | This study investigates conditions related to the formation of beggar control policy in Thailand. A qualitative research approach was used to gather data from 15 key informants through in-depth interviews, observation and documentary study. After data collection, the researcher used a contextual interpretation method to analyze the data and present it as a descriptive summary with triangulation. The findings are divided into three conditions related to the policy formulation. The first issue is the problem’s components, which are created by numerous factors relating to survival necessities, scarcity due to poverty, and unhappiness with the inaccessibility of government services, hurting the quality of life. The second issue is the compatibility of the problem with state ideals in relation to the requirements of the government to modernize the nation. Thus, the notion of beggar reduction from outside was used as a model to enhance the legislation for addressing begging issues. The third issue is the problem’s dynamics. The evolution of begging may be classified from basic to advanced levels. However, due to these circumstances, the difficulties of begging have become a policy issue for which the public sector must develop a control strategy with the control of the Begging Act, 2016. This policy problem seeks to reduce the number of beggars and prevent people from becoming beggars. Moreover, this will result in the efficiency of policy execution. In Future studies, research recommendations should pay attention to interest groups because their policy roles are important in pushing the policy agenda to become a problem issue. Moreover, the environment related to begging problems is also a driving factor that turns into a policy problematization. |
