The economic system of Thailand is predicated on cooperation between parties that are affected by economic decisions, partnerships between public and private entities, and robust relationships in the local community to foster sustainable development. Economic development in Thailand is managed by the community and government with support from the business sector. The economic system of Thailand aims to balance three conceptual pillars that can be described as 'social, economic, and environmental' dimensions. However, there is a lack of tools for data analysis and the evaluation of community well-being and economic functioning that can be applied to all relevant situations independent of external factors. In this paper, these authors produced an information analysis and evaluation model of the local economy (IAEM) that is based on the application of the Sufficiency Economy Philosophy (SEP) and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Data were collected using a questionnaire that was evaluated by experts regarding the project's capacity to meet economic, social, and environmental development goals according to the SEP for SDGs, which demonstrated a reliability of 0.88. For our statistical analysis, Multiple Linear Regression Analysis, Decision Matrix Analysis, K-Means, Percentage, and Average were performed for the analysis of data. The results showed that the SEP has a significant relationship to the SDGs at 89.60% (R = 0.896, p < 0.001). IAEM provides a framework for analysis and evaluation of the local economy in six clusters that consist of water resources (WAT), human capacities and capabilities (HUM), economic stability (ECO), healthy communities (HEA), climate change (CLI), and the agricultural sector (AGR). Our results indicate that the IAEM can be used for the analysis and evaluation of the sustainability of a local economy based on the three pillars. The IAEM can be applied to policies and projects in sustainable development at each level of the local economy based on the SEP in a partnership with SDGs; this observation suggests that more implementation of development projects in accordance with the SEP will lead to increased development towards SDGs based on the three dimensions outlined.
泰国的经济体系基于受经济决策影响的各方之间的合作、公共与私人实体之间的伙伴关系以及当地社区的稳固关系，以促进可持续发展。泰国的经济发展由社区和政府在商业部门的支持下进行管理。泰国的经济体系旨在平衡三个概念支柱，可描述为“社会、经济和环境”维度。然而，缺乏可独立于外部因素应用于所有相关情况的数据分析以及社区福祉和经济运行评估工具。在本文中，这些作者基于充足经济哲学（SEP）和可持续发展目标（SDGs）的应用，构建了一个地方经济信息分析与评估模型（IAEM）。使用一份问卷收集数据，专家根据可持续发展目标的充足经济哲学对该项目实现经济、社会和环境发展目标的能力进行了评估，结果显示可靠性为0.88。对于我们的统计分析，进行了多元线性回归分析、决策矩阵分析、K均值分析、百分比分析和平均值分析。结果表明，充足经济哲学与可持续发展目标之间存在显著关系，相关度为89.60%（R = 0.896，p < 0.001）。IAEM为六个集群的地方经济分析和评估提供了一个框架，这六个集群包括水资源（WAT）、人力能力（HUM）、经济稳定性（ECO）、健康社区（HEA）、气候变化（CLI）和农业部门（AGR）。我们的结果表明，IAEM可用于基于这三个支柱对地方经济可持续性进行分析和评估。IAEM可基于充足经济哲学并与可持续发展目标合作，应用于地方经济各级的可持续发展政策和项目；这一观察结果表明，更多符合充足经济哲学的发展项目实施将导致基于上述三个维度朝着可持续发展目标的发展增加。
