Abstract
Conserving endemic plants is essential for the country in today's changing global environment. The objective of this study is to develop a census application aimed at identifying and conserving Lamphu trees. These trees are located in the Kwai Om canal area, specifically in the Bang Sakae sub-district of Samut Songkhram province, Thailand. Lamphu trees serve as habitats for fireflies and play a crucial role in preserving local plant species in Thailand. The application utilizes various data, including the tree's age, height, width, trunk circumference, maturity status, geolocation (latitude and longitude), and photographs. The development of this application follows the Rational Unified Process (RUP) methodology, chosen for its ability to produce high-quality software. Completing the application aligns with successfully attaining the census identification learning objectives. The evaluation of Lamphu tree identification, conducted by experts and users, demonstrates positive and consistent results based on the Quartile Deviation and Interquartile Range analyses. Hypothesis testing, using a t-test, confirms the positive impact of the application's development using the Rational Unified Process methodology on the effectiveness of the learning process, with statistical significance at the 0.05 level.
