This research aims to produce paper and strands from taro fiber in order to develop into craft products and to transfer the body of knowledge and technology to community. The research consisted of 5 main steps: 1) development of paper – study concentration level of sodium hydroxide duration of pulp boiling suitable condition for breaching and softening reactive dyeing paper setting and physical testing of paper; 2) development of strand – stranding with machine strand spinning fiber combining and carding drawing reducing size of fiber and yarn spinning; 3) fiber property testing – cross-sectional test length crimp and fiber fineness; 4) product development – making evaluating and improving draft models of rubber-coated artificial flowers hanging clocks multipurpose boxes and product prototype development; and 5) transfer of technology to members of Talad Noi Agricultural Community Enterprise as well as nearby communities in Ban Moh district Saraburi province. Results of the study showed that the most suitable condition in separating fiber was boiling in 15 grams-per-liter sodium hydroxide solution at 100 Degree Celcius for 1 hour. Then breach with 9 grams-per-liter hydrogen peroxide solution at 100 Degree Celcius for 20 minutes. Next soften the fiber with 6 grams-per-liter anion softener at 60 Degree Celcius for 20 minutes. The use the fiber to set 40x40 centimeter piece of paper by spreading 20 grams of fiber equally. The resulting 0.237mg thick piece of paper was fairly resistance to piercing pressure and tearing force and was suitable to make craft products. In addition development of strands by yarn spinning method was suitable to produce strands which had more strength than strands from other plants. The strands were also suitable for further industrial production. The prototypes of utility and furnishing products were evaluated by consumers as highly suitable in 3 aspects - uniqueness of local product attractive design and size shape and weight – with mean values of 3.72 3.96 and 3.94 respectively. Price was evaluated as averagely suitable at a mean value of 3.12. Results of technology transfer showed that overall trainees were highly satisfied with the technology transfer process at a mean value of 4.55. Assessment of satisfaction and data for course improvement were both in the highest level with mean values of 4.60 and 4.51 respectively.

The sufficiency economy learning center Khaokling prison Tambon Wangchan Kaeng Krachan District Phetchaburi. The researcher has made the evaluation form of the web application development in sufficiency economy community center in Thailand. The users are satisfied with the program developed at a most level.

In this research it was investigated in detail about the physical and specific characteristics of rice stubble to develop eco-product for the community economy. The amounts of heavy metals and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in rice stubble spread thinly by variety of wood finishes and paints were examined for selection of the most appropriate materials which reduced the environmental impacts. Finishes were used in this study such as lacquer vanish wood preservative polyurethane shellac aerosol paint oil color natural dye and synthetic dye. This research was divided into two parts; the first part of this study consisted of analysis of seven heavy metals such as lead cadmium chromium cobalt tin arsenic and mercury (product criteria of green label Green Label Thailand and Eco-labeling 2009/894/EC) the second part consisted of analysis of volatile organic compounds and Environmental Impact Assessment for analyzing product life cycle through choices about materials and energy. Finally the respondents’ perception of the factors affecting product design were examined by measuring the satisfaction toward the designed products. The subjects were classified into three categories such as producer group designer group and consumer group. The experimental results showed that the standardized finishes of rice stubble were shellac lacquer wood preservative vanish and polyurethane respectively. Basket Weaving Techniques were the appropriate ones for the processing of the finished rice stubble because of less waste reducing urea formaldehyde usage man-based method less energy intensive less transportation energy and less adjusted procedure. The examples of designed products were desk lamp tablemat and hand bag. Producer group and designer group had a different opinion about the use of low-impact materials and the avoidance of hazardous substances. Producer group had significant differences of opinion with designer group and consumer group about the appropriate proportion of product design and the color making a product aesthetic. Among three groups of respondents there were not different opinions about the product aesthetic the ergonomically designed products the environmentally conscious products the friendly processed products the natural processed products and the easily end-of-life treatments.

The objectives of this research are: (1) to investigate the potential of agrotourism project sites in Bangkok and its vicinity that are officially recognized as following the principles of the Philosophy of Sufficiency Economy; (2) to create a good relationship between the researcher and the local community tourism academics experts and farmers. This study was conducted by means of semi-structured interviews and questionnaires. The participants are stakeholders including community leaders and agricultural owners. Content analysis was employed to analyze the qualitative data. Descriptive statistics (percentage and mean) was employed to present the quantitative data. The results of this research reveal that: (1) The strengths of the agro-tourism project sites include knowledge of the new agriculture theory and the expertise of owners. (2) The weaknesses include lack of services for tourists rest areas and parking. (3) Base on all 34 indicators of 4 factors the overall averages scores of both agricultural sites are in the intermediate level at 2.24 and 2.11 respectively. (4) The most important factor determining the potential of agro-tourism sites is good attractive location and the least important factor is lack of service.

The research of A Performance Analysis of a Sufficiency Economy philosophy Practice of the handicraft maker’s group in Hu-Rae is an applied research that indicate a result of guideline from a Sufficiency Economic Philosophy. The purposes to analyze the before-and-after performance of marketing management with a community’s participation project regarding to a Sufficiency Economy philosophy for product development. This research focuses on the study of a performance of the handicraft maker’s group in Hu-Rae by doing in-depth interviews before and after marketing management with a community’s participation project applied with the Sufficiency Economic philosophy for product development. In doing this the following components are applied as indicators: moderation reasonableness self-immunity conditions of knowledge and morality and comprise with the marketing mix (4Ps) which are product price place promotion. The research result reveals that the performance result referring to Sufficiency Economic philosophy is in a high level and after the research project is implemented the performance result is increase for all aspects. The condition of knowledge is considered to be the highest which receives 4.30 points. A practical implication of this research will be beneficial to a management of community network.
