| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study aimed to evaluate flood-control measures in rural areas of Chaophraya Delta as well as to clarify situations of people in flood years including 2011. It was indicated that agriculture in frequently-flooded areas was changed to adapt to flood control policy of the government. However, the present situation may change again in the future as this change was largely supported by a rise of rice price. In addition, rural areas has fundamental problems that cannot be solved by superficial flood control managements, such as poor households that cannot renovate houses to adapt floods, and urbanization that may cause more serious situation of flooding in rural villages.
