We have published designs of various types of charcoal-kilns that have been created and developed, including 1) “Iwasaki-Kitti Kiln” for learning basic charcoal production processes, which can produce various types of charcoal, cooking charcoal, grilling charcoal, high quality charcoal with a carbon purity higher than 80%. 2) “Khonmai Kiln” for producing bamboo biochar which is suitable for use in Nourish the soil. Pyrolysis process in which combustible gas is used as fuel to burn itself. This makes it possible to reduce the amount of toxic gases released into the atmosphere by more than 80%. 3) “Klongpain Kiln” for producing high quality bamboo charcoal, which is charcoal for health, such as using it to soak in water to make it alkaline, filter drinking water, absorb toxic gases, use as air filters, etc. Dissemination of knowledge and experience in the kilns development and production of bamboo charcoal to farmers who are interested in burning charcoal continuously since 2019 through a discussion group called “KonPuw-Than” in the LINE application, and transferring knowledge through writing the blog on www.gotoknow.org has made the target group of 234 farmers gain knowledge, understanding and see the importance of bamboo charcoal production in the community. Opening a center of bamboo charcoal development study center (BCDSC) for interested parties to visit, study and practice. There are interested people who come to visit. Study visits have been made to the site by 12 groups, totaling approximately 120 people.</p> Ritthikrai Chai-ngam Copyright (c) 2024 Community University Engagement Journal (CUE-J) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 2024-08-31 2024-08-31 2 1 1 10 https://so01.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/CUE-J/article/view/274596 <p>Academic article on Development of Mudmee silk patterns from community stories and natural dyeing: A case study of a community enterprise for growing mulberries and raising sericulture, Ban Bua Kaew, Kut Rang District, Maha Sarakham Province, Thailand. It has two objectives: to design and develop Mudmee silk patterns from community stories that reflect the identity of the Ban Buakaew Sericulture Community Enterprise Group; and promotes learning about natural dyeing and developing prototype products according to the standards of the Sericulture Department. Data collection methods include surveys, interviews, group discussions with local leaders, community leaders, key informants and community enterprise group members and bring all the information into developmental activities which divided into 3 phases: upstream, midstream, and downstream activities. The results of the study found that the community has outstanding social and cultural capital. Community enterprise members can take the aforementioned social and cultural knowledge to design and develop two patterns of Mudmee silk, namely (1) the Naga Chern Bua Kaew pattern and (2) the Bua Kaew pattern, and dye the silk with available natural materials in their own locality, such as the red soap tree, Cassia tree, lacquer, coconut shells, etc. In addition, some of the silk has been taken to increase quality by making plasma. After that, the silk was woven into prototype products, which are (1) a Naga Chern Buakaew pattern and (2) a Naga Chern Buakaew pattern birthday shawl and a Buakaew pattern sarong, and (3) a backpack product. The product has been certified to the Blue Peacock Brand standard from the Sericulture Promotion Center and can sell and create more income for members.</p> Chalong Phanchan Manisara Sananuamengthaisong Preecha Noulnim Copyright (c) 2024 Community University Engagement Journal (CUE-J) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 2024-08-31 2024-08-31 2 1 11 24
