| Abstract | This study proposes a comprehensive framework for assessing sustainable and self-reliant community development in Thailand, grounded in the Sufficiency Economy Philosophy (SEP) and the New Theory (NT) of His Majesty King Rama IX. Employing a qualitative research methodology, the study draws on document analysis, in-depth interviews, and focus group discussions with key stakeholders—including government officials, community leaders, local residents, and development practitioners. Semi-structured interviews were conducted using purposive sampling, and data were analyzed through content analysis. Triangulation techniques were applied to enhance the credibility and validity of the findings.Central to the study is the Sustainable and Self-Reliant Community Development Model (SSCDM), which comprises five core factors, 17 elements, and 45 indicators. The five factors—effective community participation, balanced and resilient development, data- and information-driven decision-making, knowledge- and ethics-based leadership, and good governance—serve as the foundation for evaluating community performance across multiple dimensions of sustainability.Key findings indicate that communities exhibiting strong leadership, integrated resource management, and inclusive participation consistently achieve higher levels of sustainability and self-reliance. The SSCDM thus provides a practical and culturally grounded tool for guiding development planning, monitoring progress, and aligning local initiatives with both national priorities and global development goals. |
