Figure 2

Maps on a 2013 current status of SAO websites accessible online in conjunction with the rural development in four regions (no. of provinces) of Thailand after 2011. A provincial boundary is shown for the percentage of online access in rural settings governed by the SAOs of the 76 provinces by excluding that of urban settings within the same provinces. Bangkok and Pattaya are also not included. The entire 5503 SAO databases—accessed through companion websites at http://www.tambol.com/tambol/tambolall.asp and http://www.earthpower.co.th/—include existing 5492 SAOs (Table 1) and 11 SAOs that will have been upgraded to the subdistrict municipalities. Overall percentages of online access to available SAO databases vary by region—77.4% (754/974) for the North (a), 63.0% (1356/2151) for the Northeast (b), 76.8% (1172/1526) for the Central (c), and 82.0% (699/852) for the South (d). However, none is developed for leveraging data/information required for district/subdistrict health system management or health service system management.
