| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research aimed to analyze the change of urban area and greenery (green coverage ratio) focusing on Khon Kaen city, one of typical local cities in Thailand and then made a biodiversity potential map to assess the adverse impacts quantitatively to nature environment by infrastructure developments.
As the result, when comparing changes over in 2011 and 2015, the forest area and the green coverage ratio decreased to 1,935ha (41%) and 11% respectively, and it was shown that the habitat area for endangered species decreased around 41% by biodiversity potential map made by integrating suitability index models of 3 endangered species.
