Purpose of the study: This study aims to develop a research knowledge structure according to problems, needs, and strategies of a community, to search for relationships, and to scope knowledge regarding problems, needs, and strategies of a community, to gather practical problem-solving guidelines, and to reflect and reconfirm existing body of knowledge of a community.
Methodology: This design of this study is content synthesis, knowledge organization as classification approach has been applied to this mixed-method research, the knowledge has been categorized into a tree structure according to the relationships of each concept, and therefore, it shows clear causes and effects also differentiates relationships in scope of related knowledge of the southern development.
Main Findings: The results of this study indicate that the knowledge structure of the research for the development of southern Thailand comprises 2 domains, 20 classes, 139 concepts, and 327 sub-concepts. It will let us see the relationships and trends of knowledge based on the research of southern Thailand by the scope of knowledge that reflects gaps in some research points and can be resolved or reused.
Applications of this study: The findings confirmed that we can develop it to the ontology for a recommender system or knowledge-based system of research for development based on problems, needs, and strategies of community in southern Thailand. It is a search engine tool for researchers on research for southern Thailand development. Further, this could explain more the relationships of information clearly, similarly; the knowledge structure will help the researcher’s study scope area, reduce research redundancy, reduce costs on research redundancy and reconfirm knowledge to conduct research and innovations.
Novelty/Originality of this study: The findings confirmed that it can be applied in terms of the policy area and national strategies, or applied as a part of solutions, for example, the body of research knowledge on tourism and agricultural development which is crucial for the national economy and resource. The government could take the knowledge into account the research or tourism policies, agricultural production as start-ups: Smart Tourism and Smart Agro Technology.
