The aim of this research is to establish a pottery production process from volcanic rock powder in Ban Kruat District, Thailand under the concept of the green economy operation by using research tools such as structured interviews as well as Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Multiple Regression Analysis. Moreover, it was found that the mixing ratios of pumice powder at 50%, local soil at 20% and kaolin at 30% with a shrinkage rate of 14%, water absorption of 1.88%, and a hardness of 304.75 kg/cm², having been fired at a temperature of 1,190 °C is considered a suitable ratio. In the same way, when transferring the production process of new pottery to the community in Ban Kruat District for production and distribution with the evaluation of consumer satisfaction, it can be summarized that there are six factors that affect consumer satisfaction: 1) Local Identity, 2) Uniqueness of the Materials, 3) Identity from Khmer Art Influence, 4) Factors in Lifestyle and Local Beliefs, 5) Functional Factors that Correspond to the Era, and 6) Factors of Current Market Conditions. Thus, these six factors have a predictive value of 61.365 (KMO =.533), and the results are as follows: F = 88.808, P = 0.000, R = 0.858, R2 = 0.736, Adj R2 = 0.728, SEE = 0.320, Durbin-Watson = 1.919. Therefore, the regression equation is defined as y ̂=-2.528+.345(X_1 )+.277(X_2 )+.287(X_3 )+.354(X_4 )+.373(X_5 )+.392(X_6 ), and it was concluded that all six factors affect consumer satisfaction towards pottery made from new types of volcanic rock powder with statistical significance at .01.

The objectives of this study are: 1) to study and analyze the wisdom of Thai Muslim craftsmanship and style of Islamic art; 2) to design the Quran cabinet with the wisdom of Thai Muslim craftsmanship with Islamic art; and 3) to evaluate the satisfaction of users to the Quran cabinet. There are 3 groups of informants according to the objectives of this study. The 1 st group consists of Muslim philosophers who are experts in Thai handicraft wisdom (3 people) and experts in Islamic art (3 people). The total number of people in this first group is 6 people. Interviews and questionnaires are used to study Thai Muslim handicraft wisdom and style of Islamic art in order to create guidelines for the design. The 2 nd group is comprised of experts in furniture design (3 people) and experts in furniture production (3 people). The total number of people in this second group is 6 people. Quality Function Deployment (QFD) is used to develop the concept design of Quran cabinet. The 3 rd group is comprised of 400 Muslims who live in Bangkok. The statistics which are used in this study use mean ( X ) and S.D. methods of calculation. From the study, Thai Muslim wisdom has been suggested by Muslim philosophers who are experts in Thai handicraft wisdom and experts in Islamic art to be applied to the design of the Quran cabinet with the wisdom of carpentry and wisdom of Kabah gate of Thai Muslim craftsman. For the analysis of Islamic art, experts of Islamic art suggest applying architecture, arts, crafts, and Islamic Calligraphy for the inspiration and concept for the design. Then, the author selects 3 styles for experts in furniture design and production to choose for the final design. The overall rating from the evaluation is 'Very High' ( X = 4.1, S.D. = 0.69). The design is used to create a prototype before a survey on the satisfaction of the Quran cabinet prototype was provided to Muslims in Bangkok. From the satisfaction evaluation, the rating is 'Medium' ( X = 3.90, S.D = 0.70).
The Objectives of this research are 1) to study the form of Dinghy boat 2) to design a Dinghy boat by using D Ronald K. Kiss Ship’s Iterative Process on Design Spiral, by studying the model’s data of Dinghy sailboats, including related Ideas, theories, and interviews with the yacht racing association of Thailand’s officers. The Purposive Sampling Method as used. After studied the form of the Dinghy boat, the designing process then started by using collected data, through analytical processes with conceptual framework for product design; The Quality Function Deployment, the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving, the Design Spiral which is an iterative Process, and the Reverse Engineering Principle. The experts from both the fields of Industrial Product Design and Sailing Boat, whom concern Dinghy Boat format, were included to evaluate the designing and model constructing process. The statistical methods used were Percentage, Median and Standard Deviation (SD.). The research found that 1) the current type of Dinghy sailboat is still unsafe for novice sailors; It is difficult for practicing, limited on sailor's weight, very difficult to relocate and take care of, it also were built from the expensive materials 2) In designing, the researcher designed the boat's hull by concentrate on its floating center The middle movement, which would have an effect on its floating aspect, which might tilt the boat, to be straight and highly secure. Researcher designed the parts to be able to disassemble and redesign shapes, and use wood as a material for maintenance purpose in accordance with the technical requirements that expected for Dinghy boat, from the Sailing Boat experts under Yacht racing association of Thailand. In the opinions of the honorable experts, the Dinghy Boat type 1 was scored following these factors; Meet the usage demand of the boat (Mean = 3.88, SD. = 0.33) The determination of size and dimension of the boat (Mean = 4.13, SD. = 0.33) The line pattern and shape of the boat ( Mean = 3.88, SD. = 0.33).
