Abstract
Seawater intrusion situation into lakes and farmland are exacerbating and affecting the livelihoods of people around the world. The purpose of this research was to study the inputs, processes, and outputs of Public Sector Innovation in solving the problem of seawater intrusion on lakes and repetitive agricultural areas in the Songkhla Lagoon Basin. The study used qualitative research under the application of participative action research by using in-depth interviews and small group meetings including collecting data with a semi-structured interview form. The study found that the inputs for government innovations in solving seawater intrusion problems were leadership, which consisted of state officer leaders, community leaders, and central government leaders. While the government's innovative process for solving seawater intrusion problems consists of designing government organizations, creating a comprehensive problem solving mechanism, opening up scientific solutions channel and allocating budget to increase the potential of local government organizations. As for the output of government innovations in solving the problem of seawater intrusion, this leads to project efficiency and reduction of seawater intrusion problems with short-term projects.
