Abstract

The purpose of this research was to develop the potential and enhance life through livelihood community identity products for widows in the three southern border provinces of Thailand. The study involved one hundred widows employed as hired workers living in Narathiwat, Pattani, and Yala. Findings revealed that the life model of livelihood community identity products for widows in the three southern border provinces could be categorized into two groups: One group possessed the skills and readiness to manufacture products. However, this group did not necessarily choose the community identity products proposed by the researcher; instead, they aimed to utilize their existing products to establish careers. The second group was not prepared to become product manufacturers. The model for developing potential and enriching lives through livelihood community identity products can serve as a guide for establishing careers as online sellers, particularly for widows in the three southern border provinces. This approach can help them generate income for themselves and their families.
