Background and Objective: The use of technology into handicrafts has become as a key factor in improving the quality of life and income among impoverished tie-dye fabric producers. However, many of these producers lack adequate access and the ability to efficiently adopt new technologies. This study aims to examine the economic impact of technology implementation and adoption among impoverished tie-dye fabric producers and its economic impact.
Methodology: This quantitative research used purposive sampling to select 130 participants, representing no less than 30% of the population of impoverished tie-dye fabric producer in Kototuera and Kotabaru Subdistricts, Raman District, Yala Province. The questionnaire with the reliability of the whole questionnaire was 0.949. The data collection by conducting field interviews individually and assesses the economic impact respectively. Descriptive statistics (frequency, percentage, mean ( ), standard deviation) and inferential statistics in difference comparing means values through one-way ANOVA were used to analyzed the data. In cases of significant differences, pairwise comparisons were conducted.
Results: The findings indicate a high level of technology implementation and adoption among impoverished tie-dye fabric producers (Mean=4.07, S.D.=0.95). Significant age differences were found in three areas: increased benefits (p=0.027), compatibility (p=0.036), and complexity (p=0.047), with producers aged 20-35 showing higher adoption rates compared to those aged 36-60. Economically, the adoption of tie-dye technology resulted in a 917 baht increase in household income per month, representing a 44% growth.
Discussion: The adoption of tie-dye technology has been both effective and widely accepted among local impoverished producers, consistency clear benefits in terms of increased income. These have contributed to the economic empowerment of these producers, improving their livelihood and capacity to compete in the marketplace.
Suggestion: The development involves applying the knowledge, technology, and production processes from the research to establish a local tie-dye cooperation network that expands to the district, provincial, national, and global levels. This aims to increase opportunities for continuously expanding the production base and customer base in the competitive market.
