    abstract = {Currently, an attempt is being made to develop indicators as a tool to efficiently evaluate social
development, especially at the local level where the local government is required to respond to the true needs
of the local community. With the current known facts, this research aims to discover the way to apply a
Community Wellbeing Indicator (CWI) to reflect true development and benefits at the community level. This
study is presenting the results from qualitative approach through an expert group meeting to find the possibility
of integrating a CWI in Northeastern Thailand at a local level. The results showed that data crucial for
developing the CWI should be collected annually after the harvest season from December to March of each
year from government agencies including the Local Administration Organization (LAO) a provincial health
office and a district public health office. The questionnaires should be submitted on behalf of a community, not
by an individual community member or leader. The questionnaire responses should be collected through a
participatory approach and should include 7-10 participants selected from a variety of community members
attending the community assembly to discuss and find a collective answer regarding community wellbeing
issues. The results from expert group meeting to find out the implementation of indicators found that the
possibility of indicator implementation was high. The research suggested that the development of the
Northeaster CWI should be conducted specifically for the best achievement.}
