This preliminary study is the adoption of Dramaturgical Approach by Eving Goffman (1975), to study how local people identify their problem at the Back Stage Region. By doing so, they are invited to join informal meeting. The researchers have them express their ideas by ways of drawing cartoon, graphic picture, groups discussion, individual interview and participant observation conducted by field researcher of the project. Texts gathered from these activities are analyzed and presented in a descriptive style. The historical study indicates that local people wee moved from their own villages where is now flooded by the Khao Laem dam reservoir. Their major problem is an adaptation of new geographical environment because the new lands provided by the government are not suitable for traditional agriculture. They identify themselves under privileged group. Having settled near the Thai-Burmese border where immigrant workers are roaming, they are deeply concerned with life security. Subsistence resources such as bamboo shoots, vegetable, fish and small mammals are available in forest near the village. The local capitals of the village are enriched by abundance of natural resources and panoramic scenery which the local people are proud of.
