Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this research project, we aimed to develop a new method for detecting crop flood damage by using satellite remote sensing technique, to solve various problems in conducting field survey for flood damage such as safety, speediness, efficiency, fairness and accuracy. In addition, past and present crop flood damage and adaptation measures of each delta region in Southeast Asia were assessed. As a result, it was confirmed that the result of damage evaluation by this method agreed well with the survey result of the past damage situation, and it was also revealed about the damage situation and the regional difference of adaptation measures against them.
