Abstract

This research aimed to: 1. design and develop a gamified web application to enhance engagement in community exhibitions at Ban Sawai Soh, Buriram Province; 2. evaluate the application’s efficiency through expert assessment; and 3. examine user satisfaction. The sample consisted of five experts selected through purposive sampling and 303 exhibition visitors selected using proportional random sampling based on Yamane’s formula at a   0.05 level of precision. The research instruments included a gamified web application employing Points, Badges, and Leaderboards (PBL) mechanics, an efficiency evaluation form, and a user satisfaction questionnaire. The results indicated that the gamified web application achieved the highest level of efficiency (equation = 4.53, S.D. = 0.66), while user satisfaction was also rated at the highest level (equation = 4.51, S.D. = 0.64). These findings demonstrate that the gamified web application effectively enhances user engagement in community exhibitions and can serve as a digital innovation to support community-based tourism.
