  • Coastal Vulnerability Assessment: a Case Study of Samut Sakhon Coastal Zone
    Songklanakarin J. Sci. Technol. 33 (4), 469-476, Jul. - Aug. 2011 http://www.sjst.psu.ac.th Original Article Coastal vulnerability assessment: a case study of Samut Sakhon coastal zone Farida Duriyapong and Kanchana Nakhapakorn* Faculty of Environment and Resource Studies, Mahidol University, Salaya, Nakhon Pathom, 73170 Thailand. Received 25 March 2011; Accepted 1 August 2011 Abstract The Samut Sakhon coastal zone (~41.8 km), which was selected as a study area due to its low-lying topography, has been increasingly impacted by climate change and erosion processes affecting the local community. This study examined the vulnerability area in this region by combining a physical process vulnerability index (PVI) and a socio-economic vulnerability index (SVI). Four physical variables (coastal slope, coastal erosion rate, mean tidal range, and mean wave height) and four socio-economic variables (land use, population density, cultural heritage, and roads/railways) were employed. The result was a single vulnerability indicator of a coastal vulnerability index (CVI) showing that the high vulnerability area, covering an area of 1.3 km2 (0.45% of total study area), was located in Ban Bo, Ka Long, Bangyaprak, Bangkrajao, Khok Kham, Na Kok, and Puntainorasing. The moderate vulnerability area covered an area of 28 km2 (9.5% of total study area), the low vulner- ability area 180 km2 (60.56% of total study area), and the very low vulnerability area 88 km2 (29.52% of total study area). The CVI map indicated that it was highly differentiated and influenced by socio-economic indicators, rather than physical indicators. However, comparison between the different results of the PVI and SVI can contribute to understanding the vari- ability and constraints of vulnerability.
