Abstract
The objectives of this research were to study the impacts and sustainability of the well-being, examine the factors affecting the sustainability of the well-being, synthesize the lessons learned, and propose guidelines for sustainable development in terms of community health in the eastern Lanna area. The 1,192 subjects of this mix-method research were the participants in the livable community project in the eastern Lanna area. The data were collected by using a questionnaire, an attitude evaluation form, and an interview; and analyzed by mean, standard deviation, and content analysis. The results showed that the impacts on the target population in all dimensions of health were at a high level, resulting in forming the community council mechanism able to be self-reliant or self management, acquiring good immunity, being ready to cope with changes and able to recover quickly when encountering various crises, and being a strong and livable community and a role model for neighboring areas to learn. Additionally, the people in the area had a good attitude towards the project. It was found that the factors affecting the sustainability were having a leader, empowerment, knowledge transferring, self-reliant, and the majority being benefited. In terms of learned lessons and guidelines, there should be development of the management abilities of the community council, construction of the community self-reliant plan, and the provision of welfare for the majority of the people.
