THE TRANSFER OF TECHNOLOGY FOR CONTAINER-FORMING MACHINES USING SUGARCANE WASTE PULP AS A FORM OF KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT AIMS TO PROMOTE THE DEVELOPMENT OF ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY COMMUNITIES

Abstract

The transfer technology of container-forming machines using sugarcane waste pulp, as a from of knowledge management, aim to promote the development of environment friendly community. The results of the technology transfer aimed to enhance user convenience, reduce sugarcane burning, and mitigate PM2.5 problems. A total of 15 sugarcane farmers, selected through purposive random sampling, participated in the study, residing in Amphoe Bo Phloi. Descriptive statistics were used for data analysis, and content analysis was employed for qualitative data. Mean and standard deviation were utilized for statistical treatment. Knowledge testing papers and satisfaction questionnaires were administered for data collection.

Pretests and posttests on technology transfer were conducted with the participants, resulting in an IOC index was equivalent to 1.00 and a 70.05 percent learning progress in technology. There highest overall score reached 4.50. The transfer technology and knowledge of container-forming machine to sugarcane farmers in a participatory and practical way. The creating handicraft products to environmentally friendly paper containers made from waste materials left in sugarcane fields to produce sugarcane waste pulp. It creates added value and reduce sugarcane burning.
