    abstract = {Buddhist principle of four noble truths is the real 
truth to practice with the ethical way of life for Thai people to meet the peace 
and happiness. This principle is the most effective tool which can leads to the 
raising of awareness of the environmental and natural resources conservation such 
as water saving and soil fertility. The research objective was to develop a prototype 
of Young Buddhist Environmental Education (YBEE). The population was the students 
of primary schools in the Mahasarakham province. The sample group of 40 students 
is selected by purposive sampling technique. Tools composed of test of knowledge 
achievement and attitude and participation forms. The descriptive statistics with 
percentage, frequency, mean and standard deviation and the inferential statistics 
with t-test and one-way ANOVA were used for data analysis. The Participatory Appreciate 
Influence Control technique (PAIC) was implemented to create action plans and 
practices for implementing project for target group. The results illustrated that 
before and after PAIC process implemented, the knowledge achievement, attitude 
and training achievement were determined. It was found that there were high statistically 
significant (p<0.01, 0.01 and 0.01). Consequently, the Three Dimensional Evaluation 
(TDE) was employed for their participation in the training process of PAIC, it 
showed that self-evaluation, friend-evaluation and facilitator-evaluation were 
statistical difference (p<0.01) but self-evaluation, friend-evaluation was not 
statistical difference (p>0.05) while self-evaluation and facilitator-evaluation 
were statistical difference (p<0.01) including friend-evaluation and facilitator-evaluation 
were statistical difference (p<0.01). Four Dimensional Evaluation (FDE) was used 
for trainer role play evaluation, it illustrated that trainer self-evaluation, 
audience evaluation, trainer friend-evaluation and expert trainer-evaluation were 
no statistical difference (p>0.05). During PAIC implemented, the 6 focus groups 
discussion were done, the overall results showed that there were at least 6 projects 
purposed such as prevention of waste disposal into pond, collecting the solid 
waste from pond produce compost from wet waste prevention of community deforestation 
soil erosion prevention with vetiver grass and vegetable cultivation without chemical 
use to be implemented according to the action plans on soil and water conservations. 
These were implemented at the school and community.}
