The study applies these concepts to the design and prototype development of a Dan Kwian clay candleholder set. Additionally, it evaluates user satisfaction with the design of the candleholder set. By integrating the local wisdom of Dan Kwian pottery with design concepts and theories, the study establishes a systematic design process for the clay candleholder set. The research was conducted in three phases based on its objectives, with a sample group of 100 participants determined through simple random sampling. The evaluation of satisfaction with the Dan Kwian clay candleholder set encompassed four dimensions, with the overall mean satisfaction rated as highly appropriate (<img src="https://latex.codecogs.com/svg.image?\overline{x}" alt="equation" />=4.48, SD=0.71). The findings for each dimension are as follows: a local identity value: rated as highly appropriate, with a mean score of (<img src="https://latex.codecogs.com/svg.image?\overline{x}" alt="equation" />=4.70, SD=0.60), a material and production process value: rated as highly appropriate, with a mean score of (<img src="https://latex.codecogs.com/svg.image?\overline{x}" alt="equation" />=4.39, SD=0.82), an aesthetic value: Rated as highly appropriate, with a mean score of (<img src="https://latex.codecogs.com/svg.image?\overline{x}" alt="equation" />=4.44, SD=0.66, a utilitarian value: rated as highly appropriate, with a mean score of (<img src="https://latex.codecogs.com/svg.image?\overline{x}" alt="equation" />=4.40, SD=0.75).</p> Anucha Klomklaeng, Thammarat Jaroonchon, Amornrat Anunvrapong, Naritsara Thongmomram, Thannathorn Worasiriphongkun, Nuttawit Khongsrichay, Supasee Wongsathongdee, Rittirat Dararat Copyright (c) 2025 คณะสถาปัตยกรรมศาสตร์และการออกแบบ มหาวิทยาลัยเทคโนโลยีราชมงคลพระนคร https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 https://so08.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/JFAD/article/view/4355 Mon, 30 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0700 Development of Waste and Leftover Material Management System from Design Work: Pathway to Sustainable Faculty of Architecture https://so08.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/JFAD/article/view/4970 <p>This article presents an approach to develop a waste and leftover material management system for architectural and design education, responding to the demand of Rajamangala University of Technology Rattanakosin community, where 74.9% expressed the need for such a system in the 2020 survey. The research employs mixed methods, including surveys of waste quantity and types, stakeholder interviews, and case study analysis. The findings propose an integrated waste and material management system comprising four main components: (1) an efficient material sorting and storage system, (2) a material bank for design purposes in both physical and digital platform formats, (3) an upcycling promotion program, and (4) a collaboration network with communities and industries. The prototype system implementation results demonstrated significant waste reduction, cost savings, and carbon footprint reduction. Economic analysis shows that the system has a payback period of 3.26 years, an IRR of 24.76%, and generates a social return on investment (SROI) of 2.8 times.</p> kantika jantana, Kwanchai Jantana Copyright (c) 2025 คณะสถาปัตยกรรมศาสตร์และการออกแบบ มหาวิทยาลัยเทคโนโลยีราชมงคลพระนคร https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 https://so08.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/JFAD/article/view/4970 Mon, 30 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0700 The Design of Semiotics Souvenir Products Using Soft Power Concept Promote Tourism in Chao Phraya Riverside Provinces : A Case Study of Ang Thong Province https://so08.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/JFAD/article/view/5113 <p>This research is a Research and Development (R&amp;D) study aimed at exploring the cultural semiotics of Ang Thong Province and applying them in the design of symbolic tourism souvenirs using the concept of Soft Power to promote local identity and generate economic value. The main objectives of the study were to analyze key cultural symbols, design contemporary souvenir products that reflect local identity, and assess consumer satisfaction. The research employed a mixed-methods approach, integrating both qualitative and quantitative techniques. The sample group included design experts, local entrepreneurs, and tourists, totaling 115 participants. The findings revealed that prominent cultural symbols of Ang Thong include basketry patterns, lotus flowers, traditional Thai dolls, and religious architecture—all of which convey local wisdom, spiritual belief, and peacefulness. Three souvenir prototypes were developed: a wall lamp featuring basketry patterns, a lotus-themed ceramic drinking cup set, and a modernized Thai-style Art Toy doll. Evaluation by design and tourism experts showed high levels of appropriateness, particularly in the aspect of symbolic communication and aesthetics. Local producers and entrepreneurs rated production feasibility highly, especially in terms of replicability and availability of local materials. Consumers expressed high levels of satisfaction, particularly in their willingness to repurchase and perceived value for price. The study demonstrates that applying Soft Power and semiotic-based design can effectively promote local identity and support sustainable development in the creative economy.</p> Anucha Klomklaeng, Korakot Srisawad, Rittirat Dararat Copyright (c) 2025 คณะสถาปัตยกรรมศาสตร์และการออกแบบ มหาวิทยาลัยเทคโนโลยีราชมงคลพระนคร https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 https://so08.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/JFAD/article/view/5113 Mon, 30 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0700 Landscape Design Guidelines for the Sustainable Development and Enhancement of OTOP Nawatwithi Tourism Communities: A Case Study of Bang Ngam Subdistrict, Si Prachan District, Suphan Buri Province https://so08.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/JFAD/article/view/5228 <p>Community-based tourism (CBT) has emerged as a key strategy for achieving sustainable tourism development by placing local communities at the center of decision-making. It empowers residents to create tourism activities that reflect local ways of life and enhance their quality of life, fostering mutual understanding and lasting relationships between hosts and visitors. This approach aligns with Thailand’s 20-Year National Strategy (2017–2037) and the 12th National Economic and Social Development Plan (2017–2021), which emphasize community and economic resilience. Bang Ngam Subdistrict in Si Prachan District, Suphanburi Province, was selected for development under the OTOP Nawatwithi tourism project. However, the area currently receives few visitors despite having a local market at Wat Nong Phian, a central meeting point within the community. The lack of functional and aesthetically appealing landscape design limits its tourism potential. This research recognizes the importance of spatial integration and the need for landscape improvements to promote the area as a sustainable community-based tourism destination.</p> <p>The objectives of this study are: (1) to analyze the physical characteristics of the Wat Nong Phian area, (2) to examine factors influencing landscape design for the sustainable development of OTOP Nawatwithi tourism, and (3) to propose landscape design guidelines to enhance and elevate community-based tourism in Bang Ngam Subdistrict. The participatory research process highlights the importance of using natural materials in landscape design and ensuring that architectural and landscape elements align with the contextual identity of the community, in accordance with the OTOP Nawatwithi project's requirements.</p> Sastra Srihabhak, Phimphawan Phakdeesuwan Copyright (c) 2025 คณะสถาปัตยกรรมศาสตร์และการออกแบบ มหาวิทยาลัยเทคโนโลยีราชมงคลพระนคร https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 https://so08.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/JFAD/article/view/5228 Mon, 30 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0700 Project Design of a Product Distribution and Vocational Training Center for the Elderly and Disabled https://so08.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/JFAD/article/view/5324 <p>This research study focuses on project design of a product distribution and vocational training center for the elderly and disabled, with a case study at the Chalerm Rajakumari Elderly Home (Luang Pho Phern) in Nakhon Pathom Province.
