This research aims to study soil acidity–alkalinity (pH) values and soil color within Dara Academy School and selected sample areas in Chiang Mai Province in order to assess soil quality and its suitability for use.
Soil samples were collected from areas with different types of land use and analyzed for acidity–alkalinity (pH) using a soil pH meter. Soil color was classified using the standard Munsell Soil Color Charts.
The results showed that soil pH values and soil color varied according to land use characteristics and environmental conditions, reflecting differences in soil composition. The data obtained from this study serve as important indicators for assessing soil quality and can be used as guidelines for soil management and improvement to ensure suitability for cultivation and effective land use within the school and other areas.
