The Sustainable Development Goals were designed by the United Nations to help all organizations understand that any development must be balanced with the three pillars of sustainability: society, economy, and environment. Therefore, every organization must be more vigilant before introducing something that could have social consequences. This study aims to investigate all of the necessary components for proposing and establishing a community sustainability ecosystem model that supports local business sustainability with participation by highlighting essential variables that foster sustainable business prospects. The researcher distributed a questionnaire on a five-point Likert scale to 1,000 community water users in Thailand and received 627 valid responses. Using a simple random sampling technique with a sampling ratio of 14 villages, data was obtained. Subsequently, descriptive statistics are used to characterize the data (frequency distributions, percentages, averages, medians, and standard deviations). Furthermore, PLS-SEM was used to examine the relationships between factors and to launch the conceptual model using PLS path modeling. This study aimed to enhance the original Commitment-Trust theory relying on sustainability by examining the relationships between accepted variables pertaining to change agents, stakeholders, transparency, social networking, and good governance in order to provide new knowledge to the sustainability community and local sustainability businesses. In addition, this conceptual model can be applied to new business cases in which businesses need a framework that can be followed rapidly and reduces the danger of making mistakes on their own. In light of these considerations, this article proposes a novel community sustainability ecosystem model that may be adopted by the majority of businesses as a framework for managing the entire firm. Not only does it aid local businesses, but it can also adapt to any business change in order to become more profitable and sustainable.

“…Therefore, based on the relevant literature review and previously published research, including related sustainable business frameworks, the researcher determined that several gaps still need to be addressed and have been compiled and formulated in greater detail, respectively. The researcher also presented a conceptual framework influenced by conceptual initiative models in community water supply (Sukma and Leelasantitham, 2022a;Sukma and Leelasantitham, 2022b;Sukma and Leelasantitham, 2022c;Sukma and Leelasantitham, 2022d), as shown in Figure 5 and Table 6.…”

“…Thus, this conceptual framework captures the triple keys of business: value creation, value capture, and value proposition study (Baldassarre et al, 2017;Weissbrod and Bocken, 2017;Abhayawansa et al, 2021), but this article proposes a method that maintains all three throughout the process cycle and Risk Governance and Control that similar to (Adams, 2017;Lüdeke-Freund, 2020;Abhayawansa et al, 2021;Ullah et al, 2021;Vagin et al, 2022) in order to create a sustainable organization. Given these points, this study concludes with a new conceptual framework incorporating four original research papers based on the original conceptual model (Sukma and Leelasantitham, 2022a;Sukma and Leelasantitham, 2022b;Sukma and Leelasantitham, 2022c;Sukma and Leelasantitham, 2022d). They are conducting research based on the community water supply industry, which enhances this conceptual framework.…”

“…Furthermore, no previous sustainable business framework has examined a sustainable commercial strategy for water supply. Also, just a handful of original research studies present conceptual models in the community water supply that have significant outcomes (Sukma and Leelasantitham, 2022a;Sukma and Leelasantitham, 2022b;Sukma and Leelasantitham, 2022c;Sukma and Leelasantitham, 2022d). There are attempts to discover the relationship between governance, social networks, transparency, stakeholders, value creation, value proposition, and value capture in the community water supply that must be developed from the conceptual model to the conceptual framework level to complete the investigation.…”

Businesses must do more than safeguard their financial interests to survive in today’s market. Sustainability, or long-term viability, requires consideration of society, the environment, and the global community. However, community-based businesses cannot use some of the current components of the sustainable business framework because they were created for large corporations. Both quantitative and qualitative approaches are used in this study. First, quantitative methods were used to develop a conceptual model for the organization’s current needs using the PPT, the TOE, and an Expectation Confirmation Theory (ECT). A simple random sampling method was used to gather the data, with a sample size of 14 villages. Using a five-point Likert scale, the researcher gathered data from 2,584 households and collected 627 valid responses. After that, descriptive statistics were used to describe the data (frequency distributions, percentages, averages, medians, and standard deviations), and PLS-SEM was used to investigate the interactions between variables and launch the conceptual model using partial least squares (PLS) path modeling. First and foremost, qualitative through Interactive Qualitative Analysis (IQA). There are two ways to create a congested SID and an uncluttered SID: the Affinity Relationship Table (ART), the mapping of the Inter-Relationship Diagram (IRD), and the system influence diagram. According to the study, sustainable community water supply businesses are the primary driver. The conceptual framework presented in this paper is consistent with the results of the combination of quantitative and qualitative methods and the current constraints placed on community water supply businesses to thrive.

“…In addition, the Internet fosters social change in a variety of domains [ 4 ]. A fundamental advantage of social networking is the power of public administration [ 5 , 6 ], which is employed in monitoring and as a conduit to express thoughts on numerous situations in which the public has reservations about the work of organization officials. Several organization departments were found to have used social networking to improve their communication channels and improve the transparency of their public jobs [ 7 ].…”

The social network is a network of virtual relationships that can facilitate the development of a new society in which everyone can use online communication effectively. This article investigates and identifies the fundamental influences on the social network system, as well as the online behavior of the community users. This study was designed by any social network to help improve efficiency and offer people with services that match the needs of their communities. Furthermore, it increases participation in the equitable distribution of social benefits. This study investigates the critical factors that impact a community’s view of community water user participation. The researcher sent a questionnaire on a five-point Likert scale to 1,000 community water customers and collected 627 valid replies. Data from 14 villages were sampled using a simple random sampling strategy to acquire the data. Subsequently, descriptive statistics are used to describe the data (frequency distributions, percentages, averages, medians, and standard deviation). Furthermore, PLS-SEM was used to examine the relationships between factors and to launch the conceptual model using PLS route modeling. This study reveals that digital technologies are crucial to increasing the expectations and happiness of the community through social networks. Multiple causes contribute to its expansion. In addition, this research provides an outstanding case study technique based on TAM and ECT to assess people’s social networking and community participation habits. Additionally, community water providers participate in social networks by certifying that their expectations are met.
