Purpose: 1) To develop an integrated Geographic Information System (GIS) to serve as a tool for executing relief operations and disaster mitigation missions of the Royal Thai Air Force. 2) To apply the Line Application system for monitoring, commanding, receiving, and transmitting disaster relief data between central operators and field personnel. 3) To attain a supportive information system that facilitates and enhances operational efficiency in disaster relief efforts of the Royal Thai Air Force.
Methodology: The research employed the System Development Life Cycle Model (SDLC) framework. This involved the planning and analysis of system requirements, the design of the system, followed by its development and testing, and concluding with a post-implementation evaluation. The system was tested by 508 personnel of the Royal Thai Air Force actively engaged in disaster relief and mitigation tasks.
Findings: The adoption of a GIS combined with the Line Application significantly enhanced communication efficiency between field operatives and central command units, resulting in more rapid and effective communication during operations. The user satisfaction with the system was rigorously assessed across four dimensions: alignment with operational requirements, operational accuracy, user-friendliness of its design, and system stability. The findings revealed an overall high satisfaction rate, with an average arithmetic mean of 4.40 and a standard deviation of 0.24.
Applications of this study: The findings of this study have potential applications in surveillance, patrolling missions, and in enhancing the security protocols of various agencies.
