Abstract


The purposes of this research were to (1) develop travel application using location-based service and augmented reality technology on smartphone android operating system, case study of Phu Phrabat Historical Park, (2) assess quality of the application by experts and (3) evaluate user satisfaction with the developed application. The samples used in this research were 30 tourists in Phu Phrabat Historical Park chosen accidentally. The research instruments consist of the quality assessment report for the experts and the questionnaire on user satisfaction with the application. Statistics used are the mean and standard deviation
The results found that (1) main functions of the developed application are navigation function, AR camera function, important point’s data service and contact function, (2) assessed quality of this application from the experts was at a very good level (X= 4.54, S.D. = 0.55) and (3) satisfaction of the sampled users was also at a very good level (X= 4.56, S.D. = 0.65).
