In connection, the researchers introduced a framework called "KM Hierarchical Framework" to perform Knowledge Management (KM) in Community College (CC). It is more challenging to realize the visualization of knowledge in community colleges. This paper aims to explore the potential of visualization for the Hierarchical Framework. The method used is to discuss two main issues, first the framework developed for the implementation of KMS at community colleges and second, appropriate matching of the existing conceptual framework for visual realize knowledge in KM framework developed by researches. Visualization is more apparent knowledge in KM especially for knowledge transfer and sharing. The results of the study found the integration between the KM framework and knowledge visualization framework is possible to make the knowledge in CC environment becomes visible.
