Abstract

The purposes of this research were 1) to develop a community information system to support participatory community management in Phasi Charoen District, Bangkok, and 2) to evaluate user satisfaction with the developed system. The system was implemented using MySQL (version 5.7) as the database and PHP, HTML5, CSS, JavaScript, and jQuery for the application development. The research instrument for data collection was a user satisfaction questionnaire on the community information system. The target group consisted of 51 community leaders from 51 communities in Phasi Charoen District, Bangkok. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, namely mean and standard deviation.

The research findings revealed that 1) the community information system was designed to manage community data across six main categories: social information, public health, community economy, environment, internal community management, and communication; and 2) user satisfaction with the community information system was at the highest level overall ( = 4.53, S.D. = 0.43), with the highest-rated aspect being ease of use.
