Keywords:
Knowledge Management, Sangha Administrative Region, Wat Pracha Rat Sang Suk, Sustainable Development, Knowledge SharingAbstract
This study explores the development and implementation of a knowledge management model aligned with the mission of the "Wat Pracha Rat Sang Suk" project in the Sangha Administrative Region 10 of Thailand. The primary objectives are to study the current state of knowledge management, develop a suitable model, implement it, and evaluate its effectiveness. Using a mixed-methods approach, including surveys and interviews with monks and laypersons across selected provinces, the study identifies key components of the knowledge management model: Knowledge Mission (KM), Sharing (S), Reflect (R), and Utilization (U). The findings suggest that the model significantly enhances the effectiveness of knowledge management in temple communities, promoting sustainable development through increased engagement and collaborative learning. The study also highlights the challenges in implementation and provides recommendations for further refinement of the model.
