The objective of this study is to explore the influencing factors of area-based water resource management to achieve successful project. For the first step, the success factors for project management are reviewed. Then, the pre-survey of pilot projects by interviewing the project managers and project developers have been set up to identify the real significant factors. For this step, the combination between theoretical and practical dimensions is implemented. Next, the discussion with expert persons who have the experience in project management, project development is investigated to validate content. After that, the questionnaire development is applied to investigate the real samples. Afterward, the data analysis is analyzed to produce the expected outcome. The analysis could be identified the influencing factors of successful area-based water resource project. Also, the relationship between these factors could be presented. The result showed that there are four components influencing success of area-based water resource project with a total about 57.2 per cent of the variance in responses were extracted. These components that are: 1) implementation plan and area participation, 2) connection network and research development 3) budget and public provision, and 4) administration and tool management, respectively. The largest influencing component is “administration and tool management” is “academic research on community-based and partnership creation”. The study outcome could be applied to design primary area-based water resource management factors in choosing the proper that project managers, developers, planners and researchers would be used in a real-life context.
