The results showed that the important factors that affect spatial disparity include Gross Provincial Product (GPP), provincial bank credits, and provincial<br>budgetary allocations. Such factors lead to the creation of policy recommendations focused on expanding GPP to reduce spatial inequality, establishing microfinance as a means of access to investment funds, and deciding budgetary allocations on the basis of inequality. In addition, these policies aim to reduce the level of spatial inequality of Thai state by creating structural changes in these factors in each province.</p> ER -
