Abstract:
The purpose of this research to study the causes and factors of water usage in households in rural areas in Prachinburi Province To study the relationship of each factor of water demand in households in rural areas in Prachinburi Province and To study the area of water usage in households in rural areas of Prachinburi Province The data used in the study has spatial and descriptive data by specifying basic structural factors. Economic structure factors include Geographic Information System Program ArcGIS is used for data analysis and mapping (SPSS). Statistical analysis program is used to study the relationship of each factor. The results show that
1. Infrastructure factors Most of the respondents were female, 55.75 percent, aged 41-50 years, accounting for 41.75 percent, primary education level. Accounting for 48 percent and having a career as a farmer 41 percent.

3. The number of toilets (x1) and field taps (x2) are independent variables that can predict water consumption with statistical significance at the level of (0.05) which can be predicted by 8.9% with the prediction equation Is
y = 0.502 + 0.752x1+ 0.210x2
