“…This was not only true of their attempts to reestablish meaning in their life courses, it was also a key feature of daily life, expressed when refugees talked about dilemmas concerning the present and the future. 46 The linkage entails the recovery of meaning and cultural continuity, which then helps the refugee to reconstruct his self-identity and a basis for trust. 47 Scudder and Colson call this way of "clinging to the familiar and changing no more than is necessary" in a strange environment "conservative strategy".…”

In the face of a complex external situation, the migrant Yunnanese in northern Thailand have undergone repeated moves since the 1950s, and the narratives of their lived experiences disclose an ongoing negotiation of their inner self with the external social world across time and space. The feeling of “dwelling in displacement” is the fundamental basis of their narrated stories and this constructs particular discourses on “home away from home”. The primary aim of this paper is to analyze their conceptualizations of home and the intertwining of their various migration patterns. It seeks to see how they are shaped by external structural forces on the one hand, and their reaction to them with their interstitial agency on the other. Moreover, by probing their diasporic consciousness linked to the longue durée of Yunnanese mobility, the paper attempts to accentuate the different layers of their perceptions of time and place, and to illuminate their interplay.

“…(3) institutional planning environment (the political, economic, legal, and social rules and procedures of society); (4) social goals and demands (the ideologies, needs, and current state of society). There are at least four main strands of positive planning theory, explaining: A phenomena of public planning or a particular planning practice, such as zoning (Alexander, 1992); (1) B the success or failure of planning (Knudsen, 1988;Talen, 1997); C differences in implementation and substantive results of planning between countries, cities, political governments, etc (Thomas et al, 1983); D the use of different planning styles (Faludi, 1973, chapter 10). (I use`style' and`mode' interchangeably.…”

Most planning theory is normative and does not aim at explaining the design of planning processes. However, once the relationships between organisational characteristics and the various modes of planning are established, these connections can be used for developing positive planning theory. The problem is to explain why an agency practises a particular mode of planning (synoptic, incremental, etc), or even why it performs a specific variant of such a mode. It is argued that the impossibility theorems of social choice provide a useful platform for attacking such problems. In order to explain the practice of planning agencies, a scheme for linking agency properties and planning modes is combined with alternative strategies for resolving dilemmas of agency decisionmaking. A brief survey of other theoretical approaches to the construction of positive planning theory opens the discussion and places the social choice analysis in a theoretical context.
