The purpose of this research is to identify the significance of microfinance in Myanmar, which was promoted as a part of economic reform starting 2011, especially focusing on the impact on poverty reduction and the problems in the system design. It was found that expansion of microfinance has relaxed credit constraints of some economic class both in urban and rural areas in Myanmar. However, there were some issues such as an imbalance in the targeted area and the households and non-conformity of system design to the real condition of the households economic activities.
Given the scarcity of the research on the working of current Myanmar's financial market based on the household data, especially focusing on microfinance, this research provides some baseline information for further research on the financial market.

This research aims to clarify the acceptance and response of Myanmar’s rural society toward the introduction of community-based forest resource management (community forestry), in terms of the organizational capability of villages. In line with this objective, field surveys were conducted in the main areas (mountainous area, dry zone, and delta) where the community forestry program was introduced by the government. In these surveys, in which 52 villages were visited, the process of introducing and organizing community forestry, maintenance conditions, and the structure of local societies that support the organization were identified. It was found that the length of a village’s history and its population mobility influences the organizational capability of villages; therefore, the community forestry program was developed in different ways depending on the areas.
The purpose of this research is to find new tendency for the international human mobility in East, Southeast Asia and Pacific regions in recent years. We arrive at the conclusion that labor market in this region would become the stratified strucuture.In addition, we can find out the new tendency for the human mobility such as unskilled labor (house maid and construction worker) to skilled labor and new comers to this region from Myanmer, and cross border marriage. These new movement caused the dwindling birthrate, aging societies among these region, commercialization of higher education and the development of LCC.
