More than 250,000 Cambodian migrants, the majority of them undocumented and travelling with families and young children, returned across the border to Cambodia. In response, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) in Cambodia conducted interviews with 667 of these returning migrant workers to better understand their needs and concerns before, during and after their migration.

The questionnaire was divided into three stages: 1. The returnees’ conditions before they migrated abroad; 2. The returnees’ experience of migration while abroad; 3. The returnees’ post return conditions in the country of origin. Table 1.

The respondents were 16 to 60 years of age. Interviews were conducted by IOM staff and local university students hired and trained by IOM. Interviews were carried out across 10 provinces1, 12 districts, 13 communes and 32 villages. Analysis was conducted to determine factors that contributed to migrants practicing safe migration.

  • Land Use Change and Its Impacts on Water Pumping in Bang Pakong River Basin, Thailand
    DOUBT project Land Use Change and its Impacts on Water Pumping in Bang Pakong River Basin, Thailand by Supaporn Pannon May 2018 1 ABSTRACT Water resources management is a key issue for rational study in the Bang Pakong river basin. There is an increasing need to plan water use in Thailand, due to increased water requirements from various sectors. The purpose of this study was to assess land use change and agricultural water requirements in Bang Pakong river basin, Thailand. It also investigated the data of public organizations and projected the trend of land and water in the future. Spatial tools and in-depth interviews were applied in this study. Classified images from Landsat TM between 2002-2016 were conducted. Calculated water requirements for irrigation of rice and production of fish and shrimp crops in water assessment part then built a main scenario for land use changes and agricultural water requirements in the future. Over the past 15 years, farming of perennial crops and aquaculture have been increasing while paddy field, field crop, and orchard have been decreasing. In terms of crop water requirement in the dry season, irrigated rice requires approximately 5,500 m3 per hectare while fish and shrimp farming requires 7,200 m3 per hectare. In a main business-as-usual scenario, rainfed rice will keep on decreasing while perennial crop will be increasing in the next 10 years. Main changes in terms of water requirements will probably come from the non-agricultural sector in the future. INTRODUCTION The Bang Pakong river basin has an area around 10,707 km2.

  • Climate Change and Adaptive Water Management in Bangpakong River, Thailand
    Proceedings of the 22nd IAHR-APD Congress 2020, Sapporo, Japan CLIMATE CHANGE AND ADAPTIVE WATER MANAGEMENT IN BANGPAKONG RIVER, THAILAND SANIT WONGSA Department of Civil Technology Education, King Mongkut’s University of Technology Thonburi, Bangkok, Thailand, [email protected] SUNAREE SUEATHUNG AppliCAD Public Company Limited, Bangkok, Thailand, [email protected] TAICHI TEBAKARI Department of Environmental Engineering, Toyama Prefectural University, Toyama, Japan, [email protected] ABSTRACT Climate change is one of the most pressing threats to sustainable development across the globe. There are expected to have significant effects on water resources planning and management, especially in estuary areas. The objective of this study is to evaluate of the vulnerability and adaptability for water management in eastern Thailand. The model is developed using Mike11 software, and calibrated and validated by historical matching utilizing data for the period 2013-2014. The study covered the area from Kgt.3 station, Prachinburi Province to the river estuary at the Gulf of Thailand. The model was divided into two parts, hydrodynamic (HD) module and advection-dispersion (AD) module. Calibration of each part was done by adjusting its important coefficients. It was observed that the Manning’s coefficient (n) and coefficient dispersion of mass were in the range of 0.025-0.035 and 100-1,400 m2/s, respectively. The results of comparison between models and observation data revealed order of forecasting error (R2) in the range of 0.88-0.99 for water level and 0.81- 0.99 for salinity. For model application, the RCP2.6 and 8.5 scenarios from IPCC report were simulated, sea water level rising in the year of 2100 were 1.04 and 1.34 m, respectively.

International Journal of Agricultural Technology 12(7.1):1695-1722. Thailand changed the paradigm of development from agricultural to industrialization in the Eastern Seaboard Development Programme was first introduced under the Fifth National Plan: 1982-6. Rapid industrialization development processes to achieve this affluence as a result to the change of land use pattern and utility in the area, as well as the growth in water demand, conflicts in using water is emerged. There are few studies explicitly account for interactive effects of land use and climate change on water resource and its challenge in this area. The degree and depiction to which land use change and climate change affects to water resources, key challenges to the eastern region of Thailand, are indicated and summarised. In this paper, the effects of land use and climate change are explored by using the simplified normalized difference vegetation index method, which the special analysis are particularized by Remote Sensing (RS) on the visible (band 5, 6 and 4) and thermal- infrared (TIR) channel (band 10) that located in the Landsat-8 Thematic Mapper (TM) sensor and Geographic Information System (GIS), based on data in 2011 to 2016.
