Abstract
The problem of opening a free trade area with foreign countries has affected the cost of production. Therefore, the relevant agencies must accelerate the promotion of dairy farm management by using technology to help raise the farmers to have international potentials. The objective of this study was to survey the situation of cooperative member dairy farming based on a geographic information system and assess the satisfaction of the samples towards the database. The tool used to develop the geographic information system was ArcGIS Online. It could be displayed via the web application. The samples for the system development evaluation involved 1) 45 cooperative members, 2) 5 design experts, and 3) 387 internet users who could access this system. The data was analyzed by using descriptive statistics. The results showed that the Thai-Danish Dairy Cooperative Farm in Prachuap Khirikhan Province had a cooperative member who sent raw milk to the projects in 48 farms. The experts were most satisfied with the content and design while the cooperative members and internet users were most satisfied with their efficiency. Therefore, the way to develop a sustainable dairy farm by integrating the database with the application of technology that was in line with the needs of the area was an essential basis for raising the management of dairy farms in the whole supply chain.
