Application Of Hazus-Mh Flood Model In Developing Countries: The Case Of Piura, Peru, Wan Chantavilasvong, Leo Guerrero
Application Of Hazus-Mh Flood Model In Developing Countries: The Case Of Piura, Peru, Wan Chantavilasvong, Leo Guerrero
NAKHARA (Journal of Environmental Design and Planning)
This research looks at the U.S.'s HAZUS-MH Flood Model and adapts some of its methodologies to Piura, Peru, as an example of many regions around the world with limited technical and capital capacity to estimate inundation risks. Thus, this research proposes a methodology for accessible and achievable flood risk estimation which takes into account limited available data. The proposed methodology will produce maps of potential inundation areas and monetized damage values from flood scenarios. These outputs can further help local authorities design, decide, and prepare their risk mitigation and adaptation plans for the future.

Refining The Adaptive Capacity Framework For World Heritage Management, Montira Unakul
Refining The Adaptive Capacity Framework For World Heritage Management, Montira Unakul
NAKHARA (Journal of Environmental Design and Planning)
Well-developed in the context of climate change, the concept of adaptive capacity has so far not been applied extensively to the study of World Heritage management. This paper applies the analytic framework of adaptive capacity to better understand how institutional attributes enable or hinder systemic adaptation in managing World Heritage sites as boundaries of practice expand due to changing concepts of heritage and emerging management challenges. Drawing upon case studies from Southeast Asia, the study proposes a refined framework with the following dimensions of adaptive capacity: cognitive frames, learning capacity, resources, formal governance measures, organizational relationships, and agency.

The Effects Of Franco-Siamese Treaties On Ubon Ratchathani Urban Landscape Transformation, Lalida Boonmee
NAKHARA (Journal of Environmental Design and Planning)
In the written history, Ubon Ratchathani, most documents point out that the urban areas have developed and changed because of the administrative reforms from Bangkok since the reign of King Chulalongkorn, Rama V. While this domestic cause has certainly been at play, there is another cause connected to foreign colonisation of the Indochina area. French troops forced Siam to accept the Franco-Siamese treaty in 1893, which affected the boundaries of Siam near the Mekong River. This article will address the effects of Franco-Siamese treaties on the Ubon Ratchathani urban landscape, and will highlight the urban elements which currently contribute to …
