This thesis analyzes network governance approaches to active aging policy implementation across different local government contexts in Thailand. Using comparative case studies of Mae Hia Municipality (urban) and Nong Hoi Subdistrict Municipality (suburban) in Chiang Mai Province, the research examines how network governance structures adapt to support elderly populations while addressing distinct local challenges. Through analysis of interview data with key stakeholders and policy documents, the study investigates four key dimensions of network governance in active aging initiatives. First, governance goals differ between contexts, with Mae Hia emphasizing professional service coordination and Nong Hoi focusing on community-based implementation. Second, stakeholder engagement patterns reveal Mae Hia's reliance on formal institutional partnerships while Nong Hoi leverages community leaders and volunteers. Third, governance models show Mae Hia employing a hierarchical-network hybrid approach while Nong Hoi utilizes a collaborative-institutional model. Fourth, implementation challenges differ significantly, with Mae Hia addressing coordination complexity and Nong Hoi managing resource constraints. Findings suggest successful network governance requires alignment with local contexts. Urban settings benefit from institutional partnerships while suburban areas excel in community mobilization but need systematic support structures. This research contributes to understanding network governance in non-Western contexts, offering insights for developing culturally appropriate approaches to elderly care.

Using comparative case studies of Mae Hia Municipality (urban) and Nong Hoi Subdistrict Municipality (suburban) in Chiang Mai Province, the research examines how network governance structures adapt to support elderly populations while addressing distinct local challenges. Through analysis of interview data with key stakeholders and policy documents, the study investigates four key dimensions of network governance in active aging initiatives. First, governance goals differ between contexts, with Mae Hia emphasizing professional service coordination and Nong Hoi focusing on community-based implementation. Second, stakeholder engagement patterns reveal Mae Hia's reliance on formal institutional partnerships while Nong Hoi leverages community leaders and volunteers. Third, governance models show Mae Hia employing a hierarchical-network hybrid approach while Nong Hoi utilizes a collaborative-institutional model. Fourth, implementation challenges differ significantly, with Mae Hia addressing coordination complexity and Nong Hoi managing resource constraints. Findings suggest successful network governance requires alignment with local contexts. Urban settings benefit from institutional partnerships while suburban areas excel in community mobilization but need systematic support structures. This research contributes to understanding network governance in non-Western contexts, offering insights for developing culturally appropriate approaches to elderly care.
