The Development of a Plant Resource Database System for Plant Genetic Conservation Project Under the Royal Initiative of Muban Chombueng Rajabhat University

Abstract

     The objectives of this research were 1) to study the needs and expectations of the plant resource database system and 2) to develop the plant resource database system. The research method uses the research and development model consisting of 3 phases: Phase 1 – Basic Information Study, Phase 2 – Building and Trial, and Phase 3 – Evaluation of System Usage. Research tools are Interview form, plant resource database system, quality survey and satisfaction survey. The research sample consisted of 2 groups: 1) the group used to study needs and expectations, totaling 6 people. and 2) the group used in the system experiment, system administrators, knowledge developers, and general users, totaling 120 people. The statistics used in the research are percentages, averages, and standard deviations.

     The results of the research found that there was a plant resource database system divided according to users' usage rights into 3 parts as follows: (1) the system administrator can manage all parts of the data within the database system, (2) the knowledge developer can add plant resource information and documents that need to be published, and (3) the general user section can search for plant resource information, project information, and download project publications. The results of the system quality assessment are found that the overall is in a very good level and satisfaction survey results are found that the overall is in a high level.
