Abstract
Enhancing Dispute Mediation by Restorative Justice, which consistent with International Standards, aims to train individuals aspiring to become mediators under the Mediation Act B.E. 2562 (2019) and to supervise and evaluate the application of mediation knowledge in conflict management and policy development. This research employs mixed methods approach, combining qualitative data collection—such as follow-up supervision, seminars, and lesson-learned documentation—with quantitative assessments, including satisfaction surveys and pre- and post-training knowledge tests. The training program was conducted from July 3 to 19, 2024, over 8 days (54 hours), with 29 participants completing the program. Among them, 13 individuals were officially registered as community mediators and successfully established a Community Dispute Mediation Center in Sala Subdistrict, Koh Kha District, Lampang Province. Furthermore, the knowledge gained from the training has been disseminated through various seminars, workshops, and public engagements, as well as incorporated into educational curricula. To ensure the effectiveness of restorative justice-based mediation, systematic development is essential at the policy level, the operational level, and within training curricula to align with the specific sociocultural context of Thai society.
