The study was aimed to investigate the production of banana fiber that was suitable for decorating handicraft basketry examine its effectiveness develop decorative handicraft materials for basketry from fibrous layer on the trunk of the banana tree and promote the obtained knowledge in the community of Plasticseeroong Baanmor Promburi District Singburi Province. The research result could be summarized that the most appropriate production process of dry fibrous layer on the trunk of the banana tree mixed with fibrous layer of paper mulberry was done through mechanical process. After bleaching the mixed fibrous layer was stirred by Hollander beater with the proportion of wet fibrous layer and water at 1:40; 10% of dry of paper mulberry was boiled for three hours in sodium hydroxide at 100degree Celsius then bleached with 1.5% of hydrogen peroxide with 4% of the dry fibrous layer weight at 90 to 95 degree Celsius for two hours. The mixture of wet fibrous layer on the trunk of the banana tree with wet fibrous layer of paper mulberry was 70:30 which was considered appropriate for decorating handicraft basketry. Concerning the examination of mechanical properties of banana tree fibrous layer according to the standard of TAPPI T it was found that the folding endurance of paper value was 144 (N. m/g); the tensile strength value was 32.16 (N. m/g); the tear resistance value was 26.56 (mN.m2/g); and the bursting strength value was at 1.94 (KPa.m2/g). The fibrous layer obtained from on the trunk of the banana tree was fabricated into decorative basketry materials for example flowers palm leave hats flower key chains bags and paraffin coated flowers for bamboo boxed. The attendants’ satisfaction on the training of the production of decorative handicraft materials of basketry from fibrous layer on the trunk of the banana tree to 30 members of the community of Plasticseeroong Baanmor Promburi District Singburi Province concerning the training service speakers training procedures facilities and training benefits was at high level (90.67%) and at average level (9.33%).

The research objectives were aimed to explore the tendency of life quality improvement for the senior people analyze the community leader’s perspectives towards life quality improvement for the senior people and set up as well as observe developing trends towards elderly quality of life for accommodating to ageing society : Ban Jumrung Community Rayong Province. The samples were nine persons purposively selected from relevant experts and skillful people in the community. Tomas T. Macmillan’s Delphi Technique was applied at the standard error of 0.04. The data were collected three times repeatedly and analyzed by Descriptive statistics. The study results revealed that relevant experts and skillful people in the community accordingly agreed (IR  1.50 และ IOC  0.50). The study results would be applied to design plans to construct training patterns to improve life quality for the senior peoplein Ban Jumrung Community Rayong Province. In addition obtained the training pattern could also be used with other neighboring communities as strategic plans for the near future of national life quality improvement for aging society.

The aims of this research are to review environment of floating market management to analyze potential of sustainable management and to develop strategies for developing sustainable management of Wat Takien Floating Market. Data were gathered by observations interviews focus groups and questionnaires and analyzed with Descriptive Analysis for Means Standard Deviations Factor Analysis and Canonical Correlation Analysis. Results were as follows: 1) Bangkuvieng canal on the eastern side of the market still has a nice natural view. The community cooperated well with each other. The market is organized by the temple committee which was found not to be well arranged at some point. 2) Factors that affect the potential of sustainable management of Wat Takien Floating Market include currect economic condition community local houses along the canal side Bangkuvieng canal geography policy and participation in management temple architecture inland walkway live Thai classical music band food and price of local product. 3) Strategies for developing sustainable management of Wat Takien Floating Market consisted of strategy for developing the floating market along with Buddhist traditions strategy for setting reasonable prices for local goods and strategy for organizing boat trip activity.

Purpose of this study 1) factors affecting the drop out of Rajamangala University of Technology PhraNakhon students in 2014 academic year. 2) correlation with personal information and 3) solutions to prevent the drop out. A study population are 1179 students who have dropped out in 2014 academic year and 584 lecturers of the Rajamangala University of Technology PhraNakhon. The analysis on the students population will be carried out by computing frequency percentage and Chi-square test to observe independency between the two variables. Also conducting an interview on the 360 students and 70 lecturers of the Rajamangala University of Technology PhraNakhon. From data collecting found that majority of student population status can be put by order as terminated deprived and resigned. Gender hometown occupation of parents/guardians and income of parents/guardians show significant relation to the drop out of the students in 2014 academic year while parents marriage status show no relation with statistically significant of 0.05. From the interview it can be extracted and put in order of contribution that personal issue family issue university environment and lecturer effect the student decision to drop out. Suggested solution: the university should create unique image encourage students to have part-time job during semester set up a consulting and support center provide more financial aid adjust and improve university scenery sourcing/maintenance furniture and equipments to meet usage adequate and quality standard and finally set up a colloquiums focusing a practical application. Therefore Rajamangala University of Technology Phra Nakhon should put the result from this study into practical use as a guideline to meet future circumstance and to develop administrative strategy for maximum advantage in the competition.

This research aimed to determine the optimal sand mold mixture’s ratio by using return sand bentonite water content and new sand component. Then the properties of the mixture according to the standards of American Foundrymen’s Society include the ability of compactability moisture content permeability and green compressive strength. This study applied mixture experiments and response surface methodology to determine an optimal sand mold mixture components condition. After the experiment and linear programming it indicated that the condition was at return sand (95.5387 %) bentonite (1.130102 %) water content (2.331196 %) and new sand (1 %). The green sand mold has compactability (58.37923 %) permeability (73.80148 %) moisture 6.5 % and green compressive strength (0.53 Kg/cm2). At this condition the cost is 11.31579 baths per kilogram.
