    This research investigates the factors influencing purchasing decisions of nutritional supplements for the elderly in Thailand, focusing on health consciousness, quality assurance, social influence, accessibility, and perceived benefits. A comprehensive questionnaire survey was conducted with 385 customers from diverse demographic backgrounds. Reliability and validity tests were performed to ensure the robustness of the data. The results of the survey revealed high levels of health consciousness and quality assurance as significant drivers for the purchasing of nutritional supplements. Social influence, accessibility, and perceived benefits also played influential roles. Multiple linear regression analysis confirmed the strong relationships between these factors and supplement purchases. The findings offer valuable insights for healthcare providers, marketers, and policymakers aiming to enhance the nutritional health of Thailand's aging population. This research provides a comprehensive understanding of the dynamics affecting nutritional supplement purchases for the elderly in Thailand, promoting informed decision-making and healthcare improvement.

    Purpose.Most Thai people like to purchase food at local markets; however, the accessibility to local markets by people with disabilities may be limited. The objective of this work was to develop a prototype of an accessible market for people with disabilities in Thailand, by performing a case study on a selected market in which people with disabilities often go. Methods. Representative players participated in this study: a market owner, food stall owners, assistive technology specialists, general customers, and customers with disabilities. Data were collected by observing environmental features in the market, and by interviewing the participants. Results.The results indicated that people with disabilities could not access the market because of lack of suitable parking zone, lack of ramps, walkways with obstacles, unsuitable public restrooms, the lack of zoned area for the food court and of standards for food stalls. Conclusion.After analysis of the data, a prototype was designed for parking spaces, ramps, walkways, public restroom, food court, and food stalls to make the market accessible. © 2010 Informa UK Ltd.

    Most Thai people like to purchase food at local markets; however, research studies on accessibility to local markets by people with disabilities were still limited. The objective of this study was to develop a prototype of an accessible market for people with disabilities in Thailand by a selected market where people with disabilities often go as a case study. Participants in this study consisted of a market owner, food stall owners, assistive technology specialists, general customers, and customers with disabilities. Data were collected by observing environmental features in the market and interviewing several participants. Major findings indicated that people with disabilities could not access the market because of lack of accessible parking zone for people with disabilities, no ramps, walkways with obstacles, unsuitable public restrooms, no zoned area for the food court, and no standards for food stalls. All inaccessible data were analyzed and a prototype for parking spaces, ramps, walkways, public restroom, food court, and food stalls were designed to make the market accessible. © ACM 2009.
