Background and Objective: Managing state land for public benefit is essential to fostering an understanding of mechanisms that can improve quality of life and lead to sustainable development. This research aims to: 1) study success factors, 2) enhance community capacity, and 3) establish a prototype innovative community on 6.50 rai of public benefit land for organic crop production in village no. 3, Nong Sanit Subdistrict, Chom Phra District, Surin Province.
Methodology: The study used participatory action research, targeting key informants, including 15 interviewees, 5 main crop producers, 25-factor interviewees, and 30 role model developers. A sample size of 378 was determined using a standardized table. using interviews, surveys, and questionnaires with a content validity index (IOC=0.82, 0.812, 0.91). Data collection occurred in five phases: studying data, identifying success factors, selecting crops, enhancing community capacity, and establishing a prototype community. The analysis applied comparative content and descriptive statistics, including mean and standard deviation.
Results: 1) Success factors in participatory management of public benefit land were highly rated ( =4.44, S.D.=0.67). The production and marketing of five crops—morning glory, green onions, bok choy, celery, and salad greens—were prioritized. 2) Community capacity development involved three stages: (1) establishing shared objectives, (2) creating structures and mechanisms, and (3) implementing projects such as land distribution, planting schedules, water management, eco-friendly packaging, and financial operations. 3) A prototype innovative community was developed through six aspects: (1) directional management, (2) capacity building, (3) team management, (4) knowledge management, (5) production and market management, and (6) innovation improvement.
Discussion: Collaboration and networking among stakeholders are important for improving community knowledge, skills, planning, and problem-solving, ultimately leading to a prototype community model for economic and social activities in public land management.
Suggestions: Transparent communication and workshops on land legislation and resource management are essential for fostering active participation and improving the management of public land.
