Abstract: The aim of this study was to describe and apply qualitative content analysis on developing a sustainable community based on the Wat Rong Khun model, Chiang Rai province, Thailand, and to give an example of the procedures used to analyse media coverage from the records of Chalermchai Kositpipat (the creator of Wat Rong Khun)’s communication. Qualitative content analysis was used to analyse the forms suitable for this studywhich were YouTube, web-pages, books that related with Chalermchai Kositpipat and Wat Rong Khuntogether with Chalermchai Kositpipat’s own clarifying words explaining how to develop a sustainable community from the WatRong Khun model. This include dtesting hypotheses concerning how content analysis results relate to other variables. To conduct content analysis on such texts, the text was coded or broken down, on a variety of levels including words, word sense, phrases, sentences, or themes and then examined using one of the content analysis’ basic methods: conceptual analysis or relationship analysis on developing a sustainable community from the Wat Rong Khun model, Chiang Rai province. The conclusion of thispaper was that qualitative content analysis was a meaningful method for analysing various forms of communication from testing hypotheses concerning relationships among various inferences from a body of texts, which showed that Wat Rong Khun as an outstanding sustainable community.
