ITIVE SUMMARY The Ngao Model .Forest was developed to contribute to the conservation and sustainable use of forest resources in Thailand while deriving from these resources their full economic potential so as to improve the living conditions for rural families and communities. The project strategy is to encourage the concerted involvement of various interested groups, locally and nationally, in the conservation and management of natural resources, with a view to using these resources for productive purposes, while ensuring protection of the environment and the conservation of bio-diversity, and meeting the needs of the local communities. The sponsors of the Ngao Model Forest are the Royal Forest Departtnent, Lampang Province Govenunent, Ngao Demonstration Forest, Kasetsart University Faculty of Forestry, Tham Pha Thai National Park, Agricultural Land Reforrn Office and Ngao District Government. Partnership is a key of the Model Forest concept. The Ngao Model Forest partnership is compromised of 25 organizations and institutions, which collectively represent all of the main land uses and land users in the project area. The partners are identified in the proposal and have been involved in its preparation. The partnership is seen as being dynamic in nature and other parchers are invited to join in as they learn more about the Model Forest and its prograrri of activities. Seven development objectives have been set for the Ngao Model Forest, underlying as many programs of activity. They are: I. To provide all parttiers with an up-to-date and easily accessible data base on forest land and resources, including non-timber forest products to support decision- making o11 land-use PIarrriing and sustainable forest management; 2. To manage, protect and sustainably use all forest lands, including natural and man- made forests, maintain biodiversity and enhance watershed protection; 3. To improve the livelihoods of local populations through the sustainable use of forest lands and forest resources; 4. To conduct applied research and demonstration, in support of the programs of activities to be implemented in the model forest, with special emphasis on the rehabilitation of degraded forest lands, the application of activities to support soil and water conservation and approaches to address encroachment of protected forest 'an, ,, 11 5. To increase the awareness and understanding of all partners, both professionals and technicians working at the field level, and local people and the eneral ublic. The intention is to establish links between research and operations so that new teclmologies can be made available to those who must apply them in their dail work. 6. To participate as a full member in the International Model Forest Network and thereby expand the capacity of the Ngao Model Forest partnership to develo , test and apply new approaches to support sustainable forest management. 7. To ensure the efficient and transparent management of the Model Forest 11rrou h the building of an effective painiership and operation of a sim 16 and efficient management structure. Each one of the seven programs comprises a series of activities to be implemented over time, on the basis of priorities and annual plans of operation agreed u on b the art The seven programs are: I. Development of a Comprehensive Data Base 2. Sustainable Forest Management 3 . Diversification of Economic Activity 4. Applied Research 5. Training, Extension, Public Awareness 6. Networking and Technology Transfer 7. Management and Administration I , ' The managementI'aiministration of the Ngao Model Forest will includ fl 'bl mechanisms that allow for the participation of all of the partners in the decision maki process and a penmanent but simple structure for day-to-day operations, hitiall the N ao Model Forest will be administered by the Royal Forest De artment. Ove t' , th intention is that the partnership will evolve into a legally registered - or alitzation. This Tl provide the organization with its own independence and accountability. The next step in the development of the Ngao Model Forest will be a worksho that will be attended by the proposed Model Forest partriership. The objective of this worksho w'11 b to have the proposed partners review, modify and endorse this proposal, In his process the partnership will be officially created and they will take ownershi of the To OSal. Th programs and activities that are outlined here are therefore subject to chari e as in a b deemed necessary and so defined by the partnership. These changes are not ex ected t significantly modify the programs of work but rather to bring more defiriition and detail to the objectives, specific programs, projects, work plans and budgets. This is therefore a working and living document. 111 The first phase of the I\Igao model forest will span 5 years. It will focus on padners ip development, the establishment of a Model Forest data base, specific deve opment an applied research projects and networking both nationally and internalion y. Based on preliminary estimates, a budget of Us$ 3.0 million will be required to implement the Model Forest programs and activities. Financing, both in dollars an in- h , wi e obtained from the partners, national programs and international funding.

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.

  • Impacts and Effectiveness of Logging Bans in Natural Forests: Thailand
    Page 1 of 17 IMPACTS AND EFFECTIVENESS OF LOGGING BANS IN NATURAL FORESTS: THAILAND Sureeratna Lakanavichian INTRODUCTION Thailand has a total land area of 513 115 km 2 and a population of 61.1 million people (1998) with an annual growth rate of 1.1 percent (World Bank 2000). The economy consists of a diverse mix of agriculture, manufacturing and service industries. Rapid urbanization has taken place since the 1980s. The population density is about - 120 persons/km 2 (RFD 1998) and 23 percent of the population live in urban areas. Government estimates indicate that Thailand's forest cover declined from 53.3 percent of the total land area in 1961 to 25 percent in 1999 (Table 48). FAO (1999) estimates place forest cover at only 22.8 percent in 1995. Annual deformation rates have exceeded 3 percent for much of the time since 1961 (FAO 1998) and reached 3.9 percent between 1976 and 1982 (Jantakad and Gilmour 1999). Reforestation did little to stem the trend. A total of only 850.000 to 900.000 ha were planted between 1906 and 1996 (RFD 1998; Green World Foundation 1999). Table 48.
