In-depth Local Identities of Ban Khlong Ri Village, Chai Nat Province: Achievement of Dynamic Unique Model

Abstract

This research aims to enhance endemic identity by integrating scientific and technological tools, with the goal of community product design. According to the proactive process model approach, or Dynamic Unique (DU Model), it is participatory research. The target group was the Ban Khlong Ri community, Huai Krot Subdistrict, Sankhaburi District, Chainat Province, Central Thailand. A semi-structured in-depth interview form revealed the primary identities of Ban Khlong Ri, namely rice, toddy palm and fermented fish, analysed with the second tool. The synthetic model, with 12-month, 3-season variables, found that the three identities dynamically corresponded to the way of life of the community. During a specific period, in February, all three identities were completed at the same time, and the community, therefore, used them for activities associated with Asian Palmyra Fruit Rice Noodle. This is unique in both form, process and connotation, and consistent with the tool's report, thus, synthesized into a local identity. The selection of sugar cane was then summarised for upgrading with scientific and technological processes, one of which was in accordance with the autodynamics model. The results of this experiment revealed that Ban Khlong Ri has a guideline for making palm sugar powder, dried brown vermicelli and a new colour set from Toddy palm, as measured with a Chroma meter. In summary, it is a deep, local identity colour. Primary and secondary colour combinations are available to design a visually new community product, consumption of which will occur in the future to help support the activities in making brown rice noodles and creating alternatives for visitors, in accordance with the objectives of the research.
