RSPG-Burapha: Additions and Improvements of Database and Web Application of Eastern Local Resources
Abstract
RSPG-Burapha is a database and web application that is part of the research plan, Lifelong Learning Center RSPG-BUU (under the Plant Genetic Conservation Project under the Royal Initiative of Her Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn). During the operation in the second year, the information of selected plants, sea grasses, seaweeds, shellfish, shrimps, mantis shrimps, crabs, barnacles, ants, spiders, and marine planktons have been updated or added into the database of biological resources. The information of selected rocks minerals, and world physical maps have been updated or added into the database of physical resourse. Lastly, the herbal medicines and Thai fabric patterns have been included into the database of cultural and intellectual resources. Each database requires different search patterns depending on the features and formats of its information. In addition, learning activities (i.e., searching for sample data within the database using basic data, grouping, scientific name, taxonomic rank, pictorial key, gallery and distribution map) were conducted. The results of an online evaluation on satisfaction towards system usage from the sample group with 416 persons showed a high level of satisfaction at a mean of 4.36. A comparison of the average overall satisfaction levels between Gen Z, Gen Y, and Gen X found no difference. Overall satisfaction with use of Gen Z ( X = 4.23) was significantly less than Gen Y ( X = 4.65) (p < 0.05). When comparing the overall satisfaction results of Gen Z respondents, the mean satisfaction in 2022 is not difference with the result in 2021 ( X = 4.09). In summary, this research was conducted in order to complement the learning of children and youth who are the main target groups, to meet the main missions of RSPG and Burapha University as a center of learning, and to create awareness of conservation and sustainable use of resource in the region.
