A mixed-methods research design was employed. The sample consisted of households located in Lampang and Lamphun Provinces across 73 sub-districts, selected through simple random sampling. The research instruments comprised: 1) a community database system for local development planning, developed using HTML, PHP, JavaScript, the Bootstrap CSS framework, and a MySQL database; 2) an evaluation form for assessing the performance of the community database system; and 3) a survey questionnaire on stakeholders’ opinions toward the use of the system. Qualitative data were analyzed through summarization, interpretation, and analytical description, while quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, namely mean and standard deviation.
