ABSTRACT: Most important disaster in Thailand is the flood, which frequently occurs and causes widespread losses in both properties and lives. Yom river basin is one of the basin in Thailand which is a narrow stream without regulated dam in upstream. Therefore, during rainy season, these area often suffer from flood. Phrae province where locate in a flood-prone area of upper Yom river basin have faced with flood almost every year. To manage the disaster situations, the approaches to assess the flood susceptible areas and the extent of disaster impact are the challenging tasks. This study aimed to develop flood hazard map, flood vulnerability map, and flood risk map along Yom river in Phrae province by using hydrological model of HEC-RAS and a set of procedures of HEC-GeoRAS for processing geospatial data in Geographic Information System (GIS). The model was calibrated using the rainfall observation data during flood seasons from 2007 to 2016.

With the loss of my great mentor, I struggled to overcome the emptiness of my heart and to find new sources of the inspiration and sharpness he used to provide. The final stages of my writing were filled with regret that I lost him too early before I could appreciate him both as a friend and an intellectual peer. His absence made me realize what a great teacher he was to me and how well I was taken care of by him. I dedicate this thesis to him. Through this sorrowful period, many people stood behind me, shared my sadness and encouraged me to carry on my work. Above all, I am deeply grateful to Saroja Dorairajoo for taking over the supervisory role and wonderfully guiding my study in the remaining period. I am very thankful to Hing Ai Yun for her dedicated care throughout my years at NUS and particularly at the final stage. I also thank the other two members of my thesis committee. Carl Grundy-Warr shared my grief at losing his good friend and was a great help towards the completion of this thesis.

The Department of Health and the Department of Disease Control have co-operated the joint surveillance in the risk areas under the integrated plan. By the activity is the preparation of guidelines and manuals for environmental and health surveillance in each of the risk areas consisting of the gold mining areas, the risk areas of air pollution from biomass power plants, the risk areas of air pollution from the smoke, the risk areas of air pollution from dust, the risk areas of contagious diseases from food and water and the risk areas of electronic wastes. The purpose is to create guidelines for the public health staff to apply in surveillance, warning and public communication proper to the problems in the areas and enable to manage and solve the environmental health problems in the risk areas effectively on which it would lead to health preventing and reduce environmental risk factors that affect 1 people’s health, according to the objectives of the integrated environmental and health plan.
