Analysis of synthetic data used content analysis and synthesis methods for planning about product and packaging development. The results of the study were to design 3 types of handicraft product prototypes. Those were textile products, bamboo craft products and packaging. And to conduct training courses for textile design, bamboo craft products and packaging design. The results of the Mlabri tribe products development training were to have textile products. These were bags and coasters which were very easy to make by them. The bamboo craft products were almost like the old products of the tribe such as the bamboo tube for keeping items but redesigned the cover to be easier to be used and create the pattern on the product. Spot pattern technique was used because tribes did not have the expertise of drawing. Using spot pattern technique made the products looked more beautiful.

Chooglin Ounvijit Tourism Research and Development Center, Chiang Rai Rajabhat University, Muang District, Chiangrai Province, Thailand 57100 Email : [email protected]
Abstract This mixed method community-based research used the participatory action research methodology to study the tourism impacts and the carrying capacity of tourist places and propose approaches for local communities to manage the tourism carrying capacity. The research site was the Tham Pla temple in Tambon Pongngarm, Mae Sai district of Chiangrai province. The research population was local stakeholders. The community leaders including government leaders, village leaders, non-government organizations, monks and temple committee were purposively sampled. Forty local people including local tour operators, members of social groups and the general members of the public were included through convenience random. A total of 208 tourists visiting the site were incidentally sampled. The research process included field reconnaissance, interviews of people and tourists’ opinions, training on water quality monitoring, organizing forums for stakeholders, field data collection, inventory of tourism resources, and carrying capacity assessment. Qualitative data were analyzed, synthesized, categorized, and described. The quantitative data were analyzed by using frequency, percentage and standard deviation. The study revealed that (1) the negative impacts of tourism included increased water pollution and turbidity, death of fish in the stream, damage of the cave, and ransacking of waste bins and attacking of tourists by monkeys. The positive impacts were an increase of income from tourism for local villagers and the temple, better waste management, and better preparation to alert tourists of danger. (2) The physical carrying capacity of tourist places in the ThamPla indicated that the use of infrastructure including waste containers, toilets and parking space was lower than its carrying capacity. In the ecological aspect, the use of water and cave was still within their carrying capacity but the use of local fish breeds exceeded their capacity. In the social aspect, congestion in tourist places was still manageable but the problems relating to monkeys exceeded the local management capacity. In the economic aspect, the labour requirement was below the capacity level. Income for the temple and community shops was within the capacity but that for pedal boat operators exceeded the capacity. (3) For the future community-based tourism management in Tham Pla village, the community researchers suggested that four aspects and 24 indicators of local carrying capacity be considered and a mechanism be created to monitor 4 sensitive issues relating to water, waste, cave and monkeys.

Abstract Solid Waste products has been problem in Thailand and has still increased daily. It is the result of the activities of daily life of the people. Development and growth of the community cause increasing of waste problems. This study is quasi - experimental research and Participatory Action Research –PAR Its objective is to study the result of the 100% Recycled Village Project and the separation of physical characteristics of waste by applying the Quartering Method in Ban Kla Kao, Prasart Subdistrict, Non Soong District, Nakhon Ratchasima Province. The experimental group was 45 representative people in Ban Kla Kao, Prasart Subdistrict, Non Soong District, Nakhon Ratchasima Province. The comparison group was 43 representative people in Ban Tako, Ban Prang Subdistrict, Kong District, Nakhon Ratchasima Province. Data collection was done between March and May 2013. Intervention in the experimental group was 2 days training of one hundred percent recycling management activity of the village. Data collection were done before and after the experiment, using a questionnaire. Data was analyses by Percentage, Standard deviation, Paired t - test and Independent t - test. According to the findings, it was found that the experimental group has the score level of knowledge, practice, and participation in solid waste management in the post-test higher than in the pre-test. The difference indicated statistical significant (p < 0.05). After the test, the experimental group has the score level of knowledge, practice, and participation in solid waste management higher than the comparison group. The difference indicated statistical significant (p < 0.05). Regarding to the separation of physical characteristics of solid waste by applying the Quartering Method, it was found that after the test of the experimental group, valued solid waste in a type of paper decreased by 2.71%, glass of 3.96%, metal of 5.92% and organic solid waste of 44.92%. For the overall quantity of waste, it was found that wastes in the experimental group decreased by 63.37% and those of the comparison group increased by 3.17%. In conclusion, the key success of 100% Recycled Project in this study is systemic training program with practice activities induce to effective learning in waste segregation. And cooperation between government agencies and the community. This study could be further implement in other similarly community as a waste segregation model.
