Abstract
This research was quantitative research with survey approach. The questionnaire was used as an instrument for gathering data from population of 70,546 agriculturists in Yasothon Province in Northeastern region of Thailand. Multi-stage random sampling was conducted to collect 400 agriculturists as a sample group. Structural Equation model (SEM) was used for model validation. The objective was to develop a structural relationship model of knowledge of pesticide use and primary health care affecting to environmental conservation behavior through inspiration of public mind for environmental conservation.
Research results showed that Knowledge of Pesticide Use (KPU), Primary Health Care (PHC), and Inspiration of Public Mind for Environmental Conservation (INS) were able to explain the variation of Environmental Conservation Behavior (ECB) with 89.00 percent and INS had the most effect to ECB with 0.73, subsequences were KPU, and PHC with 0.13 and 0.10 respectively. Moreover, KPU and PHC were able to explain the variation of INS with 79.00 percent and PHC had the most effect to INS with 0.74. Subsequence was KPU with 0.15.
