The purpose of this study is to design an ¨DArchive and Communityˇ¬ model that creates a relationship between local citizens and non-citizens to keep the traditional performing arts in the local community by combining the traditional archiving system with social media like Twitter. This paper describes the experimental data results and discussions using the ¨DArchive and Community Systemˇ¬ prototype. %K Social Media %K Twitter %K Local Community %K Traditional Culture %U http://www.academic-journals.org/ojs2/index.php/IJCSE/article/view/978
