การประยุกต์ใช้ทุนทางวัฒนธรรมกับการสร้างคุณค่าลายผ้าไหม ของชุมชนจังหวัดบุรีรัมย์

Abstract

This research examines the application of cultural capital in creating value for silk patterns in Buriram Province communities. A qualitative research approach was employed, with data collected through in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, and community forums. The study explores the role of cultural capital in the creation of silk pattern value and how it can be applied to enhance the cultural and economic value of silk patterns in these communities. The findings reveal that silk weaving is a key form of local wisdom with significant cultural and economic importance. The study highlights the connection between cultural capital and the development of silk products. Weavers from various communities have developed silk patterns that reflect their way of life, history, and local beliefs. The integration of traditional weaving techniques with inspiration from nature has resulted in silk products that hold cultural value and are competitive in the market. It was also found that Buriram’s silk features unique patterns, with ongoing development of new designs to increase the value of the products. This encourages the community to preserve and transmit this knowledge to younger generations through training programs and the establishment of learning centers. Moreover, expanding access to broader markets for silk products contributes to higher income levels and supports the economic sustainability of the community.
