Abstract
The purposes of this research were to study personal data, economic situations, knowledge and
attitude toward the urban vegetable productions of growers in Bangkok. The data were
conducted by surveying the uncertain number of grower population in Bangkok. A snowball
survey was executed through an online questionnaire via either an electronic mail or Facebook
from a total of 59 vegetable growers in the city. The data collected were analyzed to find
percentage, frequency, and popularity base. The findings revealed that 62.7 percent of the
growers were females, and about 59.3 percent graduated from bachelor’s degree. Most of their
occupation was working with the private company at 37.3 percent, and their income was
approximately 30,000 bath per month. On average, the number of household members was 4.
Also, the research found out that the main rationale for practicing urban vegetable was to
provide vegetables for household consumption and safe from toxins. The knowledge levels of
vegetable growers in Bangkok were 69.76 percent. The attitude of growing in town was high at
47.85 percent. All of the results were beneficial in promoting the popularity in urban vegetable
production of growers in Bangkok.
