Abstract
This paper aims to prioritize impact factors which affect Thai rural village development. The basic village-leveled information database (NRD-2C) of the Community Development Department (CDD), Ministry of Interior, Thailand, was applied with Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) to measure the amount of impact for each factor affecting Thai rural village development. According to results, the top 5 impact factors are “Land Possessionâ€, “Electricityâ€, “Communicationâ€, “Educational Levelâ€, and “Household Industry†with 17.88, 15.35, 14.02, 12.06, and 10.57 score of impact respectively with 95.60 percent of estimated accuracy.

Human beings have known and learned the development of livelihood since they were born on the earth
The Community Development Department of Thailand was established in 1962 under the Ministry of Interior to coordinate with all governors, CDD workers, community leaders and people for collecting community data in rural areas, analyzing data, reporting useful information and making policies for community development
“Land Possession” has played the most important role in Thai rural development. This suggests that Thai government should keep on providing the title deeds or certificates of land ownership for agriculture to poor people in rural areas by Agricultural Land Reform Office (ALRO) established in 1975
Summary
Human beings have known and learned the development of livelihood since they were born on the earth. Only NRD-2C was used to measure the amount of impact of each factor. In term of impact evaluation, it is not necessary that the impact factor which most number of villages fail in has the most influence on Thai rural village development.
