PREVENTION, MITIGATION AND ENGINEERING RESPONSE FOR GEOHAZARD IN THAILAND Adichat SURINKUM Worawoot TANTIWANIT Jarin TULYATID Department of Mineral Resources Department of Mineral Resources Department of Mineral Resources Rama VI Rd., Ratchathewi, Rama VI Rd., Ratchathewi, Rama VI Rd., Ratchathewi, Bangkok, Thailand, 10400 Bangkok, Thailand, 10400 Bangkok, Thailand, 10400 ABSTRACT Thailand is situated in SE Asia where most of the area has been under the influence of monsoonal type of weather. Geological settings of the country is believed to be the result of the collision between Indian and Eurasian plates. The collision has great influences on the topographic, weather and tectonic activities of the area for a long time. These factors are closely related to a number of serious geohazards of the area. Such geohazards include landslide and tsunami caused by a large distant earthquake along the Indian – Eurasian subduction zone. Important geohazard cases in Thailand have been discussed and landslide is focused in order to make an optimum risks assessment. There are three main landslide events occurred in Thailand. These landslides occurred in Nakhon Si Thammarat province in the south; Phetchabun province in the northeast; and Tak province in the west. The 2004’s Tsunami event was also unexpected one to a great number of people who live along the Andaman shorelines of the country. These events have generated awareness on landslide geohazard to the nation because it took many lives and damaged properties. As one of the key organization working on geohazard, the Department of Mineral Resources has carried out study programs in order to gain better understanding of such events and then set up activities for the prevention and mitigation for it via engineering approach. Most of our works are based upon not only a scientific approach but also concepts of people’s participatory. We have set up landslide warning networks for both local and regional ones for the high risked areas throughout the country. For tsunami, we have set up our measures via education, information transmission and evacuation plan for high risked areas. Our work has created awareness among people who have been or potentially been effected by such hazards to be well prepared for the event that has yet to come. INTRODUCTION The great Sumatra earthquake occurred on the 26 December 2004 with the epicenter off the west coast of the Sumatra, In recent years, there have been an increasing number of Indonesia. The earthquake triggered a series of devastating studies on tragic events related to geological processes tsunami along the coasts of most landmasses bordering the especially in the tropical countries. Such processes include Indian Ocean, killing a large numbers of people and earthquake, tsunami, sinkholes, flash-flood, landslides, land inundating coastal communities across South and Southeast subsidence and erosion.

Many places in the region especially in the Thai Thailand is located in Southeast Asia between latitudes 5° 37´ Peninsula have been affected by the ground shaking after the N and 20° 27´N and longitudes 97° 22´E and 105° 37´E (Fig. earthquake.

It normally takes a long time for the affected As one of the key offices responsible for the prevention and communities to achieve help from the central government. mitigation of the national geohazards, the Department of Mineral Resources (DMR) has worked on the issue for over a Geohazard management varies from one type to another, as decade. Normally, the central government responds to the well as on a case by case basis. In the flash-flood and landslide event through the building of network in the local areas being case, most of the help are in the form of new constructions for roads, bridges and structures to stable slopes in accordance to the engineering geology of the area. These structures are still located in the risked areas where geohazards always occur and we know that, sooner or later, these structures will be wiped out by the force of nature. In order to lay a good foundation on works related to the prevention and mitigation to the geohazards in Thailand, DMR has now tried to make the best out of our limited resources in order to sustain the geohazard management system of the local communities distributed throughout the country. A new concept has been developed under certain key concepts, which are: geological knowledge as a strong foundation, best engineering geological practice; HM King Bhumibhol’s sufficient economy; and living in harmony with nature. This paper summarizes important geohazards of Thailand and introduces the new concept, “Living in harmony with nature”, with an example of the pilot project of the DMR to test out. The result is very convincing and will be applied to other hazardous areas of the country in the near future. GEOLOGIC AND TECTONIC SETTINGS Several authors have reviewed the geology of Thailand (Suensilpong et al., 1978; Chonglakmanee et al., 1983; Bunopas, 1981; Department of Mineral Resources, 2002). The geological map of Thailand (DMR, 2002) shows that the Fig. 1 Schematic map illustrating postulated post-Paleozoic western mountainous terranes contain a variety of igneous, “extrusion tectonics” and present-day plate metamorphic and sedimentary rocks of various ages. configurations in eastern Asia (modified after Precambrian metasediments and early Paleozoic sandstone Tapponnier et al., 1982).

At an average elevation of nearly 00 metres above sea level and covering an area of approximately 11,00 square kilometres, the province borders Myanmar to the north, and Lao PDR to the north and northeast. The area is largely mountainous, with peaks rising to 1,500 metres above sea level, and flowing between the hill ranges are several rivers, the most important being the Kok, near which the city of Chiang Rai is situated. In the far north of the province is the area known as the Golden Triangle, where the Mekong and Ruak Rivers meet to form the borders of Thailand, Myanmar and Lao PDR Inhabiting the highlands are hilltribes like the Akha, Lahu, Karen, and Hmong. The region boasts a long history with small kingdoms dat- ing back to the pre-Thai period, while the city of Chiang Rai was founded in 122 by King Mengrai. It was temporarily the capital of Mengrai’s Lanna Kingdom until being superseded by Chiang Mai. Today, Chiang Rai is a small, charming city that provides the perfect base for exploring the scenic and cultural attractions of Thailand’s far north.

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.
