    This paper considers the interpretation of a local museum in Thailand using the local museum of Thai Bueng Khok Salung as a case study. Data collection was carried out from 9 September 2015 to 22 January 2018. The collected data were derived from related documents, previous studies, in-depth interviews and observations. This present research aimed to investigate the interpretation of the case study through the management of "persons, places, and things". The findings revealed that there are two major types of interpretation at the museum: the interpretation for the people in the community (that is, indigenous curators, local visitors, and local people) and the interpretation for the people outside the community (that is, general visitors and specific-purpose visitors). The results of the study indicate an appropriate and effective interpretation system for the specific community context which encourages people-both locals and foreigners-to be aware of the value of the community. Consequently, as a result of their awareness, people would increasingly cherish their community and work in collaboration with other people for the sustainable development of the community.

    In early 2017, a combined group of faculty members and students from King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Ladkrabang (KMITL), Thailand, and Ball State University (BSU), U.S.A., organized a three-week fieldwork in many communities around Si Satchanalai Historical Park. Relying on their ethnographic experiences to actively explore the livelihood in conjunction with cultural heritages and social practices of the local people, such undertakings provided a contextual basis for this research. Conceptually informed by the edifying model of Cooperative and Collaborative (C&C) pedagogy used during the 2017 KMITL-BSU collaborative efforts, the inquiries examined the workshops and field trips in Si Satchanalai district for their roles in: 1) advancing tacit knowledge of the participants on the assigned subject matters; and 2) expanding a horizon of understanding between the Thai and foreign partakers. Altogether, the upcoming discussions demonstrated the methodological applicability of the C&C approach in architectural and design education, coupled with its scholarly merits in cross-cultural learning.

    Computer aided facility management (CAFM) is a computerized network system that connects graphic and non-graphic information in a central and comprehensive source of facilities information. Previous studies have revealed that facility management (FM) professionals have been reluctant to adopt the CAFM application. Drawing on diffusion of innovations theory, a model was developed describing the relationships between intention to adopt the CAFM application and five characteristics of an innovation shown to lead to the intention to adopt. The purpose of this study was to examine factors that influence individual FM professionals to adopt the CAFM application. Eight hypotheses used to examine the relationship were supported. Perceived trialability, perceived visibility, and perceived result demonstrability positively related to intention to adopt the CAFM system indirectly through perceived relative advantage and perceived complexity, and perceived advantage and perceived complexity had significant effects on FM professionals' intention to adopt the CAFM application. © 2008 American Association of Family and Consumer Sciences.
