THESIS ADVISOR : ASST. PROF. SONGKOT DASANANDA, Ph.D. 239 PP. HYDROLOGICAL MODEL/FLOOD MODEL/GIS/CA-MARKOV MODEL/ IMPACT ASSESSMENT OF LAND USE CHANGE ON FLOOD There are three main objectives of this research: (1) to develop grid-based hydrologic model capable of simulating realistic runoff scenarios (on monthly and daily basis) using GIS-based input data, (2) to generate associated flood maps of the Chiang Mai municipality during September 2005 based on the simulated runoff discharge data and the relevant rating curves, (3) to examine impact of the land use/land cover (LULC) and climate changes on runoff discharges and the associated flood maps based on the predicted LULC maps derived by CA-Markov model and probable increase of rainfall. The selected study area is part of the upper Ping Basin with the area about 1,120 km2 and covering Chiang Mai Municipality area. For the first objective, it was found from results of the five case studies chosen for the development of the monthly model that the preferred model was not sensitive much with the variation of soil depth but strongly dependent on amount and variation of rainfall intensity. The sub-surface runoff factor was also found very essential in the model’s formulation in order to obtain the more realistic results. The daily model was adopted from the optimum monthly model in two case studies of model development IV which the transpiration was alternative factor to include in the model. This model development made the model to have relatively high accuracy of the simulated runoff data with R2 of 0.96 and Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency (E) of 0.94. For the second objective, the flood maps were developed based on data of the water level in the stream channel calculated from the simulated daily stream discharge data in September 2005. It was found that, regarding to the simulated water level at the P1 station, there should be four river flood events seen in this month with the highest water level 305.23 m. above mean sea level (MSL). The comparison of predicted flood map and chosen reference flood map showed moderate level agreement of about 58.93% on the identified flooded area. For the third part, it was preliminarily found that all the applied case studies of LULC and rainfall changes have little impact on the simulated discharge at the P1 station but they have obvious effect on the modeled discharges at P21 station. However, the impact was more obvious if those preferred changes were applied to zones outside the study area but still situated within the same drainage area of the P1 station. The observed trends were that amount of the simulated discharge increase with higher percentage of deforestation and the increase of rainfall. The impacts from these changes were highly pronounced at the P1 station but still inconclusive at the P21 station.

In 2011, however, Thailand suffered a severe flood, and that means the country’s water management was not successful. Maetaeng watershed is another area that has been receiving a lot of funding to develop and solve the problem of water resources in the area continuously. Still, it was also found that the projects and budgets spent still cannot fix the problems of water resources in the area. This study aims to analyze the events, problems, and factors that can lead to the process development of integrated water resources management in Mae Taeng watershed area, Chiang Mai province. This qualitative study workshop was conducted by collecting basic information, setting a discussion panel for water users, and a workshop to brainstorm for the ideas of water management. The findings showed important factors positively affect the strength of the community, cooperation in water management of the community, and the sacrifices of strong community leaders. The negative impacts include the deforestation of certain ethnic groups, cultural diversity, a lack of awareness in the role of community leaders, as well as insufficient funding.

    Crafting Citizenship: Cards,Colors,And the Politic of Identification in Thailand

    2015 - HARVARD-YENCHING (RE)CRAFTING CITIZENSHIP: INSTITUTE WORKING CARDS, COLORS, AND THE POLITIC OF IDENTIFICATION IN THAILAND PAPER SERIES Pinkaew Laungaramsri | Chiang Mai University 1 (Re)Crafting Citizenship: Cards, Colors, and the Politic of Identification in Thailand Pinkaew Laungaramsri Associate Professor, Department of Sociology and Anthropology Faculty of Social Sciences Chiang Mai University Email: [email protected] Abstract This paper traces the genealogy of one type of state artifacts in Thailand, the Identifica- tion Card. Central to the research question is how the chaotic card system in Thailand has been historically invented and utilized by state agencies in different periods of time and how such in- vention has contributed to the crafting of differential citizenship in Thailand. The paper argues that throughout the history of ID card system, two kinds of citizenship have been produced: pro- prietary and contingent citizenships that serve as a means to differentiate the Thai from the non- Thai other. Yet, within the temporality of the ID card regime, pragmatic citizenship has been de- veloped by people to rework national identification as something alive and practical. It is in this realm that the non-Thai other has strived to be both a subjectified and subject-making in the un- stable state-ethnic relationship of modern Thai society. Keywords: Citizenship, Identification Card, State-ethnic relation, Border Control Introduction On May 19, 2010, in response to the government’s massacre of the red shirt protesters in Bangkok, a group of red shirts in Kalasin province, northeastern Thailand staged a symbolic pro- test in front of the city hall.

    Military, Gender, and Trade: The Story of Auntie Duan of the Northern Thai Borderlands Wen-Chin Chang* This paper explores Auntie Duan’s life story, a story that mirrors remarkable female Yunnanese Chinese migrants’ economic agency in the face of numerous vicissitudes caused by contextual and personal tragedies. Auntie Duan (born in 1938) and her family fled from Yunnan to Burma in 1950 after the Chinese Communists took over China. Being a woman, a refugee, and a widow moving repeatedly among border- lands, she led a life characterized by a multiplicity of peripheral positionings. In order to survive and raise her children, she participated in different economic activ- ities, most saliently as a borderland trader. By focusing on her life story based on her oral narratives, I attempt to illustrate her steps of economic initiation in combating a range of adversities. Furthermore, with a comparison to Anna Tsing’s Meratus gendered politics, I look into embedded meanings in gender asymmetry among migrant Yunnanese communities. Keywords: Yunnanese migrants, economic agency, gender asymmetry, military, narrative approach Individual-Focused Research After I buried my second husband, I moved from Chiang Khong [Chiang Khong District, Chiang Rai Province] to Ban1) Sanmakawan [Fang District, Chiang Mai Province, Thailand]. I opened a small grocery store in Ban Sanmakawan. Unfortunately, my house was burgled. I also sold homemade alcohol (kaojiu mai 烤酒賣), but I was caught by the Thai authorities and put in jail. I was freed only after payment of bail. I had four children to bring up. A cousin who was an officer of a [Chinese Nationalist (Kuomintang, KMT)] troop stationed in Ban Mae Aw [Muang District, Mae Hongson Province] took pity on me and asked me to come here to make a living.

International Journal of Agricultural Technology 10(5):1139-1150. Abstract The purpose of this paper was to test the performance of the cabinet dryer, and then transfer the technology to those rural communities which are far away from the city and which do not have public electricity. The dryer could be used to dry fruits and vegetables. In the experiment, peeled bananas were loaded into the drying chamber with a capacity of 19 kg per batch, drying air temperature of 57±8.7°C, average air flow rate of 0.6 m3/s, and air recycle of 95%. In the first period, the drying process was performed continuously for 13 hours. In the second period, the drying process was suspended for 12 hours. For the final period, the drying process was continued for 5 hours. The results are as follows: the consumption of the liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) was 2.10±0.11 kg, the electrical power for the blower was 21.3±3.2 W, the average drying rate was 0.54±0.10 kgwater/h, and the average energy consumption was 11.08±1.40 MJ/kgwater.

The data of village locations, patients with malaria, and population during 2001-2006 were collected to support the objective. The spatial and space-time scan statistics were then used to identify clusters of villages with elevated proportions of malaria cases. In the purely spatial analyses, the most likely clusters were in the forest area of the north (2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005) and the south (2001 and 2006) of study area. In the space-time analysis, the most likely cluster was the group of villages which locates in the Wiang Haeng district, Chiang Dao district, Chai Prakan district, Mae Ai district and Fang district (in 2004). The north part of Chiang Mai was the most likely to have a cluster with a significantly high occurrence of malaria. 1. INTRODUCTION Basic elements of outbreak examinations and epidemiology are person, place and time. The epidemiology research has been emphasized in person and time over a hundred years. The element of place has not been much focused, only the disease mapping is considered in some areas.
