Abstract
This study aimed to (1) fulfill the royal initiative of the Plant Genetic Conservation Project under the Royal Initiative of Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn (RSPG), (2) analyze and develop a database system for local plant genetics and indigenous culture, and (3) evaluate the quality and user satisfaction of the developed database system. The sample group was selected using purposive sampling and included two subgroups: (1) five information technology experts for system quality assessment, and (2) thirty general users for satisfaction evaluation. The research instruments consisted of the developed database system, a quality evaluation form, and a user satisfaction questionnaire. Data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, and percentage.
The findings revealed that: (1) the project responded to the RSPG initiative, with reporting conducted through Rajamangala University of Technology Phra Nakhon (RMUTP); (2) the developed database system consisted of three main modules—public users, registered members, and administrators. General users could register and access the system, while members and administrators were able to view records. Administrators had full system control, including data entry, deletion, modification, and reporting of field survey records. The database design included tables for user profiles, addresses, access rights, local foundational data, local occupations, physical environment, village history, community practices, plant and animal usage, other biological resources, indigenous knowledge, and local archaeological and natural resources; and (3) both the system quality and user satisfaction were rated at the highest level ( = 4.70, SD. = 0.61). Additionally, the system was capable of supporting data collection for approximately one local area per year, equating to around 200 datasets.
