Abstract

The objectives of the community innovation development research for local economic boosting and supporting the local entrepreneurs in Palian Watershed, Trang Province, and lower Songkhla Lake Watershed, are to support the technology and innovation development for boosting community capacity in terms of competition with self-dependence, and to improve the management mechanism and system on community innovation research for spatial development. Rajamangala University of Technology Srivijaya has improved the management mechanism and system of spatial development research which emphasize on coordination process among researchers, university executive, local communities, especially stakeholders in order to support the innovative communities project for sustainable development. There were 3 steps in this project, first step was management on upstream consisted of research model designating mechanism, qualitative research development, financial contract making and opening bank account, financial and account regulating, and making coordinating mechanism with local order group. Second step was management on midstream consisted of providing facilities to the researchers and improving their skills, assessment of research results with the determined follow-up assessment on progress, processes of community’s technology, innovation development and boosting capacity for the innovators in community, supporting the researchers with advisor clinic until research is done and coordination workshop zone. Third step on the downstream consisted of examining research output’s quality, enhancing research output reputation, making research content be interested in published media, reserving intellectual property rights, presentation output on public stage, making competitions, creating events in order to offer and deliver research output to anyone who require it, and designating mechanism to continually transfer technology and learning. The result of research on innovative community for sustainable development, boosting economy and supporting entrepreneurs in watershed of Palian, Trang Province consisted of 14 sub-districts, and in watershed of lower Songkhla Lake, Songkhla Province consisted of 16 sub-districts. There were total 22 projects with 77 researchers involved can be divided by their mastery courses they had graduated, most of them 49.45% mastery in engineering and technology, 38.96% mastery in agriculture and science, and 15.58% mastery in society and business management.
