A New Network of Communal Recreational Waterfront Space in Bangkok by Apichart Srirojanapinyo Submitted to the Department of Architecture on May 21, 2009. in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Architecture Studies Abstract Physically and historically, Bangkok has been shaped by its relationship to its waterfront. Flowing 370 kilometers through Thailand, the Chao Phraya River is more than the nation’s lifeline. It was a principal waterway that largely determined the expansion of this former agricultural city. With the advent of industrialization, the focus shifted to the establishment and consolidation of man- made infrastructures such as roads and highways, leaving the waterfronts as large areas of underused land, deteriorated ports, warehouses, and informal settlements.

Nine representative plots 19 were established in Bang Kachao peninsula in 4 tropical urban forest types: rehabilitation forest, 20 home-garden agroforestry, mangrove and park. The correlation between NDVI and LAI obtained 21 from satellite images and plant structure from field surveys were analyzed.

  • GIS Based Monitoring Tool to Analyze Inland Waterway Accidents in Thailand
    Journal of the Eastern Asia Society for Transportation Studies, Vol.13, 2019 GIS Based Monitoring Tool to Analyze Inland Waterway Accidents in Thailand Kanisa RUNGJANG a, Pattarapong PAKPOOM b a Department of Civil Engineering, Kasetsart University, Bangkok, 10900, Thailand a E-mail: [email protected] b Faculty of Engineering at Kamphang Saen, Kasetsart University, Nakhon Pathom, 73140 , Thailand b E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: This research aims to develop Geographical Information System (GIS) based monitoring tool to analyze vessel accidents of Ayutthaya inland waterway during the logistics growth period of Ayutthaya. Nationwide statistics along with this focus area in Thailand crucial commercial and passenger waterway route are studied and analyzed. As for the analysis of the inland waterway transportation by Chao Phraya and Pa Sak rivers within Ayutthaya is high risk according to index of International Maritime Organization (IMO), traversing by ships is now even more vulnerable. The analysis shows that the principal cause of accidents is human error. According to the records, the city has been growing while inland waterway logistics activities arises in last decade of Ayutthaya. The result is a combination of GIS tool and accident analysis. The government can manage inland waterway, monitor traffic accidents, and develop safety policy in Chao Phraya River and Pa Sak River to reduce accident. Keywords: Waterway Accident Analysis, Inland Waterway Safety, Urban Logistics, GIS 1. INTRODUCTION One important aspect with respect to the vessel traffic safety is risk analysis. This research is to analyze risk of inland waterway of Ayutthaya. As for the main inland waterborne logistics distributor of Thailand, Ayutthaya, the center of Siamese kingdom in 1350-1767 located in central plain of Thailand, is main region of inland waterway transportation system.

  • The Case of the Chao Phraya River Basin, Thailand
    Elements for a political ecology of river basins development: The case of the Chao Phraya river basin, Thailand Paper presented to the 4th Conference of the International Water History Association, December 2005, Paris. François Molle1 Summary Like other natural resources, water can be mobilized for wealth generation. The spatial expression of land resources and of the natural water regime, in terms of quantity, quality, timing, variability and availability (or easiness to divert or abstract), coupled with the distribution of power in society, defines and underpins the early development of river basins and the pattern of control over water. As societies grow and more water is diverted, users located in different parts of a river basin find themselves increasingly in interaction through the hydrological cycle. In addition, this cycle is constantly redefined by interventions and infrastructures (dams, dikes, irrigation and drainage schemes, etc.,) and by the different uses themselves (change in timing, alteration of water quality, change in groundwater flows due to abstraction, etc.,). The water regime is thus increasingly man- made or artificial and the resulting interconnectedness partly amenable to management. The paper argues that the consumption of space, the control over water, and the way costs and benefits are shifted across scales and social groups can be addressed through a political ecology framework. Water use incurs costs and generates externalities that tend to be imposed on third parties. River Basin Organizations—in all their diversity—are an attempt to manage resulting conflicts and to craft patterns of governance that are more inclusive and conducive to a more equitable and environmentally sustainable share of resources.

Many studies, carried out near the basin outlet, have suggested that the dam impounds significant sediment, resulting in shoreline retreat of the Chao Phraya Delta. In this study, the impact of damming on the sediment regime is analyzed through the sediment variation along the Ping River. The results show that the Ping River drains a mountainous Citation: Namsai, M.; region, with sediment mainly transported in suspension in the upper and middle reaches.

For the first time, we report on the widespread establishment of the globally invasive freshwater snail Physa acuta (Physidae) in Thailand and Laos, including decades old records that had previously been misidentified as Camptoceras jiraponi (Planorbidae). Occurrence of Physa acuta as hitchhikers among ornamental aquatic plants suggests that the ornamental trade was a likely introduction pathway of the species into Thailand. That a globally invasive species was able to spread unnoticed for such a long period of time highlights the need for countries like Thailand to focus research efforts on prevention and early detection of introduced species, in addition to increasing our understanding of native biodiversity.
