Abstract
Problem statement: At present Pabang Patham Flood Plains have been fading away from new generations' memories because they have known only community forest or Pa Chum Chon many kinds of plants, herbs, aquatic animals, wild animals and insects are reduced. Furthermore, some kinds of them are become extinct in the future if no conservation. Approach: A qualitative research was used for the study of conservation, renewability and development of cultural landscapes of Pabung Patham Flood Plains in the Chi river basin by community participation. The sample was three groups consisted of 30 key informants, 159 casual informants and 42 general informants. Three research areas were Khon Kaen, Mahasarakham and Yasothon. Results: The result of the study were as follows: (1) at present Pabung Patham have been fading away from new generation memories because they have known only community forest or Pa Chum Chon many kinds of plants, herbs, aquatic animals, wild animals and Insects are reduced. Furthermore some kinds of them are become extent in the future if no conservation. (2) Conservation by community participation according to AIC process was operated as follows: A: Appreciation, it was a process of constructing an appreciation. I: Influence, it was a process of constructing an influence on the ways to develop. C: Control, it was a process of constructing the ways to control the project. For this research the controlled factor was planting three kinds of tree and gaining four uses according to the feature of cultural landscapes of flood plains that consisted of planting trees for construction, trees for fruit and trees for fuel. Forest enhanced ecological balance in these ways: (1) enhancing oxygen for human beings (2) enhancing water for human beings (3) enhancing the fertility of soil land (4) enhancing the diversities of culture in case of the forest that Located in different ecology. Four cultural uses that we gained from forest classified into: (1) food was gained from plants, insects, wild animals, aquatic animals. (2) Herbal medicine (3) fuel was gained from trees (4) construction parts were gained from trees. Conclusion/Recommendations: Planting three kinds of tree and gaining four uses enhanced a lot of usefulness for community and reduced effectively the awful situation of global warming, drought storm and flood.

Summary
Landscape and physical environment such as weather, earth and water, these are main basic factors which affect the differences of human living behaviors. For the reason that humans interact with both humans and nature, they must establish rituals, beliefs, customs, traditions and indigenous knowledge Both the Mune and Chi river are main rivers which flow through northeast Thailand and join the Mae Khong river so the approximate loss of water is at 25,000-30,000 cubic meters/year and cause drought in summer and flood in rainy season. Pabung Patham is the word that northeast people called a flat area of land near a river that often floods when the water level rises. This area was piled with fertile mud and became a growing area of plants and breeding area of animals. Considering the diversity of the ecological elements of flood plains that consist of water, fertile soil and other extra surroundings, it is an original of living things that can adapt themselves according to the high level of water during flood and low level of water during drought of each year[3]
