Abstract
The objective of this research was to develop an expert system for herbs usage based on health wisdom knowledge. The researchers used the participatory action research (PAR) process and the system development life cycle (SDLC) process. A structured interview form was used in the interviews of 96 purposively selected local wisdom villagers in 6 sub-districts of Khao Wong district, Kalasin province to obtain the body of knowledge on the uses of herbs to treat diseases based on health wisdom knowledge. Then, we developed the expert system for the use of herbs to treat diseases based on health wisdom knowledge of the local wisdom villagers with the application of the tree classification decision techniques. The research results showed that there were 115 types of herbs used in the community. The developed system could provide answers and advices on the use of herbs to treat diseases based on health wisdom knowledge of local wisdom villagers, by creating a model using the C4.5 algorithm with the accuracy of 88 %, and the result of the system’s quality evaluation by experts indicated that the system’s quality was at the high level.
