Abstract

This research aims to study the cultural identity of the traditional weaving techniques of the Pga K'nyau ethnic group in the Wa Valley, Phop Phra District, Tak Province. This study uses these cultural elements as an inspiration for the design of new fabric patterns. Additionally, the research applies mathematical knowledge, specifically Boolean operations, and computer programs in the creation of these new designs. The result of the study is the development of a new fabric pattern named "Saran San Prakai," which has been patented. This design not only adds variety and interest to woven fabric products but also enhances the competitiveness of the market, while preserving local wisdom and cultural heritage.
