Data in this quantitative research were collected by using the questionnaire survey method, under which 400 households in 8 districts were sampled. The obtained data were analyzed using statistics. The results indicated that most of the respondents were male, aged between 46-55 years, with a primary school level education. Most of the respondents were involved with farming and gardening, with an average income of less than 10,000 Baht per month. Perception about the project in the people's minds was at a moderate level. Moreover, it was found that their cognition and attitude toward the project was at a high level. The significant factors affecting the level of cognition, were different primary (p<0.001) and minor occupations (p<0.05). However, gender, age, status, education level, monthly income, monthly expenses, and participation in the project did not significantly affect their cognition. It was also found that their perception about the project did not correlate with level of cognition. Moreover, the significant factors affecting the levels of attitude towards the project were different primary occupations (p<0.05), minor occupations (p<0.001), monthly incomes (p<0.05), monthly expenses (p<0.001), and participation in the project (p<0.001).
