Abstract
This article investigates how the Tha-Hin Sub-district, a local community in Sathingphra District, Songkhla Province, strengthens its community by using local wisdom as a base. Data was collected through a qualitative study, which included observation and in-depth interviews; it was then classified according to topics studied, interpreted, and presented.
The study found that the Tha-Hin Sub-district set up the Nodenalay Learning Center to be responsible for the management of local wisdom related to the ways of life of villagers in their use of community resources for farming, palm sugar making and fisheries. Local wisdom was retrieved by interviewing villagers specialized in those occupations, while innovation and external knowledge acquired through visit, training and exchange were applied to improve the effectiveness of traditional wisdom. Knowledge storage was recorded in the form of media, pamphlets, and vinyl. The Learning Center has organized activities for youth in Tha Hin community and other communities to learn and recognize the importance of traditional ways of life while cultivating a sense of loving hometown and self-reliance. The community empowerment helps generate social, cultural and economic strength by reducing gaps in family, kinship and community, revitalizing traditional rituals, and making way for extra income for households and community.
