This quantitative research employed a survey method. The sample consisted of 400 residents aged 18 and above in Prachuap Khiri Khan Province, selected through accidental sampling. Data were collected using a questionnaire with an Item-Objective Congruence (IOC) index ranging from 0.80 to 1.00 and an overall reliability coefficient of 0.873. Statistical analyses included frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and One-way ANOVA. Regarding the first objective, the findings revealed that the overall attitude of the public in Prachuap Khiri Khan Province toward the peaceful resolution of the border dispute was at a moderate level (𝑥̅ = 3.12). When considering individual dimensions, the border dimension received the highest priority, with a mean score at a high level (𝑥̅ = 3.54). This was followed by the attitude cultivation dimension at a moderate level (𝑥̅ = 3.09), while the socio-economic dimension scored the lowest, also at a moderate level (𝑥̅ = 2.58). As for the second objective concerning the comparative analysis of personal factors, the results indicated that differences in gender and age did not lead to statistically significant differences in overall attitudes toward the peaceful resolution, thereby rejecting the research hypothesis. Conversely, differences in educational attainment, occupation, and monthly income resulted in statistically significant differences in overall attitudes at the .05 level, which supported the research hypothesis.

The Interior design to promote local identity of Wiset Chai Chan District, Ang Thong Province

Khattipong Duangsamran — 2026-09-20

This research article aimed to study 1) explore the cultural identity and local wisdom of Wiset Chai Chan District, Ang Thong Province; 2) formulate interior design guidelines that reflect the identity of Wiset Chai Chan District; and 3) develop practical approaches for presenting local identity through interior design for real-world application. Adopting a qualitative research methodology, data collection tools comprised four main methods: 1) interviews, 2) focus group discussions, and 3) document analysis. The participants consisted of the District Chief of the Wiset Chai Chan District Office and citizens visiting the district office for public administrative services. Through qualitative data analysis, the gathered insights were utilized to establish a spatial identity by developing a relational framework connecting three core identities. These elements were integrated through a design translation process to create a physical prototype model for spatial development, ultimately allowing for the validation of the proposed practical design application. The findings indicate that; 1) There exists a cultural identity and local wisdom rooted in the relationship between people and the site; the site's identity comprises interconnected elements spanning physical, historical, social, cultural, and traditional knowledge dimensions. 2) The process involves translating this identity into physical elements and a contemporary design language by synthesizing three key dimensions: physical and ecological, historical and spiritual, and vernacular architectural. 3) Transforming a conventional administrative service area into a space of symbolic experience—integrating historical, ecological, and lifestyle values with daily functional utility—accommodates citizens visiting the civil registration department while creating a renewed atmosphere for a government facility. Additionally, the interior design reflects cultural capital through furniture layout planning and the creation of distinctive furniture forms.
