    Keeping It Alive: Mapping Bangkok’s Diverse Living Culture Bussakorn Binson+ Pattara Komkam++ Pornprapit Phaosavadi+++ and Kumkom Pornprasit++++ (Thailand) Abstract This research project maps Bangkok’s living local culture sites while exploring, compiling and analyzing the relevant data from all 50 districts. This is an overview article of the 2011 qualitative !eld research by the Urban Research Plaza and the Thai Music and Culture Research Unit of Chulalongkorn University to be published in book form under the title Living Local Cultural Sites of Bangkok in 2012. The complete data set will be transformed into a website fortifying Bangkok’s cultural tourism to remedy its reputation as a destination for sex tourism. The !ve areas of cultural activity include the performing arts, rites, sports and recreation, craftsmanship, and the domestic arts. It was discovered that these living local cultural sites mirror the heterogeneity of its residents with their diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds. There are local culture clusters of Laotians, Khmers, Mon, Chinese, Islam, Brahman-Hinduism, and Sikhs as well as Westerners. It was also found that the respective culture owners are devoted to preserve their multi-generational heritage. The natural beauty of these cultural sites remains clearly evident and vibrant, even though there remain dif!culties hampering their retention. The mapping of these sites are discussed as well as the issues surrounding those cultural sites that are in danger of extinction due to the absence of successors and other supportive factors necessary for their sustainability. Keywords: Bangkok Culture, Living Tradition, Thailand Urban Culture, Performing Art, Local Culture, Thai Arts and Crafts + Dr.

    ADAPTING TO EXTREME EVENTS: HOUSEHOLD RESPONSE TO FLOODS IN URBAN AREAS Maura Connolly Allaire A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Environmental Sciences and Engineering. Chapel Hill 2015 Approved by: Dale Whittington Jamie Bartram Gregory Characklis Subhrendu Pattanayak Richard Vogel © 2015 Maura Connolly Allaire ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Maura Connolly Allaire: Adapting to Extreme Events: Household Response to Floods in Urban Areas (Under the direction of Dale Whittington) This dissertation is an economic study of household-level decisions related to flood risk mitigation. It is composed of four chapters that focus on the 2011 Thailand flood, the world’s most costly flood event in the past 30 years. The first chapter examines the magnitude and composition of economic costs that households in Bangkok bore during the 2011 flood. Two rounds of surveys with 469 Bangkok households collected detailed information on a broad set of flood costs. Results indicate that total flood cost was substantial. The median cost was equivalent to half of annual household spending. However, structural damage to homes was surprisingly low, given the depth and duration of the flood. The second chapter assesses how online information can enable households to reduce flood losses. Propensity score matching is used to test for evidence of a relationship between social media use and flood loss. Results indicate that social media use enabled households to reduce mean losses by 37%. Social media offered information that was not available from other sources, such as localized and nearly real-time updates of flood location and depth.
