 note = {To improve the sustainability of Participatory Irrigation Management (PIM), developing countries in the Monsoon Asian Region must enhance farmers' willingness to perform maintenance activities. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to analyze the relationship between this willingness and factors that influence it. First, the present situation supporting the establishment of “water users' organizations”, an outlet necessary for promotion of farmers' willingness, was analyzed for the Modernization of Water Management System Project (MWMS) in Thailand. Second, the present situation of the evaluation of eight Japanese assistance projects for PIM including MWMS was analyzed. Finally, a survey was conducted in the 18R area where the MWMS was implemented and results used to analyze the relationship between willingness and factors influencing this willingness. First, Water Users' Groups (WUGs), organizations in charge of water management of irrigation ditches, and an Integrated Water Users' Group (IWUG), federation of the abovementioned organizations in charge of water management of a lateral canal, were established concurrently in the MWMS. Results confirmed that the IWUG was still operational in 2009, eight years after its establishment. Therefore, MWMS is superior because there are few examples of long-term success in other developing countries. Second, although contributing and obstructing factors were indicated in the existing evaluation, the interactions between these factors and the causal relationships observed at the time of the evaluation were not indicated in the sustainability evaluation. Therefore, accurate judgment of sustainability was not possible. Hence, the factors influencing farmers' willingness to perform maintenance activities were summarized and examined based on past studies. The relationship between willingness and influencing factors was analyzed with a rank correlation coefficient based on the qualitative data obtained from 202 farmers in the 18R area. The results revealed that [1] farmers' willingness was influenced by 7 factors including awareness of benefits and anxiety about water distribution, [2] the farmers that were more concerned about unreliable water distribution due to broken ditches showed increased willingness, and [3] “preventing the loss of benefits obtained” should be introduced as an important incentive. Furthermore, even if the existing correlation coefficients cannot be used, a new index “maximum number of valid people (product of number of subjects and efficiency)” obtained from a cross table of willingness and the factors can be used.},
