Whereas, local authorities have a role to tackle the problems in their area by conducting the meeting or training workshop, conducting public relation campaign, set up of forest fire prevention and control units, allocating budget for communities’ activities related to fire control. All efforts of local authorities result in reduction of forest fire, agricultural waste burning and solid waste burning. However, burning in forest area is still found in the area. The study also found that Tha Pla Duk Sub-district covers very large area which is next to the forest. Together with the lack of fire brigade and equipments, results in outbreak of fire and difficulties of fire and haze control. Suggested mitigation measures are public relation campaign for raising awareness and collaboration with Khuntan Nation Park for community rules enforcement, fuel management and check dam construction. Policy suggestion: to deal with smoked haze problem, integrated policies and measures are necessary. In addition, specific timeframe of activities includes fuel management, mobilization of fire brigades, equipments and budgets and are also important in order to enhance an effectiveness of mitigation.
