“…Consequently, the cow manure processing machine developed a process of transformation to separate the water and dairy cow dung from each other by adding the following steps: 1) Crushing, 2) fermentation and addition of nutrient value, 3) pelletizing, and 4) drying. Additionally, the production of the newly developed machine would use raw materials that would be available in the country and rely on labor within their own communities with the sustainable development concept (Egwutvongsa, 2008).This could create sustainable development that would help to foster the development of the community's potential with local self-sufficiency, and learn how to apply a large amount of unused resources in their own community to generate income as an economic return.Therefore, this could solve the problems encountered in the community area with the processing of dairy cow dung by using the QFD technique, Furthermore, it appeared that there were needed problems to be solved as follows: 1) Reasonable price, 2) durability, 3) suitable size for use, 4) the machine can be operated all the time, 5) the machine can adjust the fineness of the dung, 6) the panel is easy to use the control, 7) separate light to show the status, 8) safety, 9) easy to maintain, 10) no vibration; loud noise while in use, 11) the machine that has a stable base, 12) easiness to find accessories, 13) easiness to operate, 14) easiness to disassemble parts, and 15) easiness to clean inside the machine for the dairy cows that were more efficient.…”

The research aimed to develop and assess the satisfaction of a sustainable utilization process for dairy cow manure for farmers in the Northeast region of Thailand. The population comprised 162 dairy farmers in Pak Chong District, Nakhon Ratchasima Province, Thailand and the group sampling consisted of 150 dairy farmers in Pak Chong District by using a simple random sampling method to analyze the mean and exploratory factor analysis (EFA). Additionally, dairy cow's dung that was used to be processed into organic fertilizer could reduce methane emission by using a newly developed dairy cow's dung converter, which the organic fertilizer yield was qualified as follows: 1) Organic matter = 14.5% by weight, 2) C/N ratio = 11.24:1, 3) electrical conductivity = 4.23 decimals per meter. and 4) the valuable pH = 8.35. Then, the results of the test for the amount of the primary nutrients from the primary macronutrient analysis were total organic carbon = 9.1%, nitrogen = 0.8%, phosphorus = 0.6%, and potassium = 0.84% when using the new converter. Furthermore, it was piloted with a group of farmers in the aforementioned area. From the results, it was found that there were three factors affecting the satisfaction of dairy cow farmers toward the new dairy manure conversion process; namely, the features of the machine, the efficiency of the machine, and the appearance of the machine. Simultaneously, when taking all three factors to evaluate the satisfaction, the following results were found: 1) The features of the machine that is very important (mean = 4.283; SD = 0.661), 2) the efficiency of the machine that is very appropriate (mean = 4.280; SD = 0.528), and 3) the appearance of the machine that is very appropriate (mean = 4.013; SD = 0.632). Then, these three factors were considered as the highlights of the machine for converting dairy cow dung into ready-made organic fertilizer for cultivating plants in organic agriculture that could be seen as being environmentally friendly.

This research had the objective to design children’s bins and make a comparison of the new and old bin patterns. The group sampling consisted of 652 participants composed of the students and personnel in a school in Khlong Kum District, Bangkok, Thailand. For this case, multistage random sampling was used with 234 participants, and the research tools were composed of five-point Likert scale questionnaires that were measured with Cronbach’s alpha coefficient with a level of 0.91, independent t-test and multiple regression analysis. From the above information, it was found that the influencing factors to the children’s bin’s design involved the beauty (0.32), specific attributes, (0.24), morale (0.16), ergonomics (0.10), safety (0.07), application (0.07), and the materials (0.05). In addition, when testing the model, it was found that the new bin product patterns had the most satisfaction level ( =4.55; S.D.=0.30), followed by the original bin product patterns that had a moderate satisfaction level ( =3.08; S.D.=0.52). Finally, when comparing the differences of the satisfaction level by using the t-test statistics, it was found that the children’s satisfaction to the new bin patterns were at a higher level than the original ones with a statistical significance level of .05.
