Abstract

The lack of knowledge on sustainable energy technologies is a main obstacle to adopt sustainable energy technologies for local community. Knowledge Management (KM) platform is a media to assist the community to learn and to understand more on sustainable energy. This is the main objective of this study. This paper represents a KM platform based on Web GIS server-side application which is implemented at Phitsanulok, Thailand. The platform provides information on sustainable energy technologies for three categories of local users: normal browsers, academics and local government officers. Each group of users got different priority to access to the KM platform. Pre and post questionnaires are distributed in order to measure the impact of KM platform and the improvement of knowledge of local community.
