Main Article Content
Abstract
The objectives of this research are to: 1) promote the use of technology and research for community benefit; 2) encourage the adoption of innovative production processes within communities; 3) upgrade products through integrated knowledge and blended local wisdom; and 4) enhance the value and significance of products by using intellectual property and petty patents for the benefit of society. The research is qualitative and involves the transfer of technology to communities through the integration of traditional wisdom with modern design knowledge. The target groups are two communities in Sa Kaeo Province: the Faek Noen Lao Community Handicraft Enterprise and the Ban Wang Yao Weaving Group Community Enterprise. The research findings revealed that the communities were able to develop at least three new handicraft products and demonstrated the potential to create and design integrated products combining local wisdom with technology and product design patents. As a result, the communities submitted two new patent applications and expanded these results to sustainably enhance the grassroots economy.
