NOTABLE ACTIVITIES
PROFILE
With a present sense of urgency, my drive as a landscape architect and a graduate student in landscape architecture I’ve always been trying to think and question the impact of humans in the landscape. and how we understand nature. I consider this concern to be the main role to serve and drive societies to be sustainable living. With profound knowledge of the planning and design along with I have adroitness in the use of geographic information software such as ArcMap for work and more effective.

Floodplain Management and Planning When Flood Equals Wealth
This project analyzes and designs the floodplain area of Bangkien, Choomsang, Nakonsawan, in order to create landscape flexibility to cope with natural dynamic. The site is frequently flooded under the influence of Yom and Nan rivers. Even though the government has provided “Gam Ling”, a flood plain area policy to Bangkien, which is determining the area to trap more floodwater than others and disburse a compensation for the community, such amount of money does not worth the drawbacks people have to endure. The goal of this project is inspired by this current situation, which leads to the design the landscape to manage water and create the infrastructural system. Adapting the idea of Netherland’s Polder system and Ka-nhud suan (Thai ditch and dike system), ridges in agricultural fields and residential areas are reorganized following the analysis to control the volume of water in the site. This design controls water leaks in flooding season and stores water in draught. Plantings in the site are native and can survive during a protracted flood. Moreover, this landscape design also focuses on changing the community’s perspective towards flood that people can benefit from floodplain, since it is abundant with natural resources (For example, rice and freshwater fish, rather than only expect a compensate money. With the design that suits the site’s context and local people’s way of life, this project can give a sustainable future for both Bangkien and its dwellers.

What is Landscape (Floodplain) ? The Chaopraya basin consists of Ping, Wang, Yom, and Nan watershed from the northern part of Thailand. This basin is formed by fluvial process that creates a vast flat area in the central part of Thailand. The Structure of basin is main river, Floodplain , and terrace. The study area is influenced by the seasonal fluctuation of water in the river every year.
the key of this landscape is dynamic. the significant characteristic of the landscape have a 3 main process of connectivity 1. Temporal connectivity 2. Vertical connectivity 3. Lateral connectivity

Human migrated from the lower chao praya river by Floating house to this area and settlement along the riverside and canal.
Human started to modify the floodplain to grow rice for food . By useing Floating rice to adpated with dynamic of this area in floodseason
The demand rice in green revolution era made a lot of impact on floodplain because human started to modify the swamp area into ricefield cause the flood storage area in floodplain start to diminished
Before humans start to settlemented , This Floodplain have a large area that provided for water storage in flood season and diversed with flora and fauna such as Elephant

Nowaday , the effected of human activities in floodplain cause flood in wet season becomes disaster and drought in dry season . consequently, hardship living of human in this floodplain is still continue.
Annual Climate Analysis Hydrology is the key factor of how to understand river and floodplain by gathering raindata, water level, and spatial data from sattleite image.

The Alternative Future of Chiang Mai: Green - Blue Infrastructures and Resilient Rural Landscapes
20 X 20 KM
Chiang Mai, the capital of an ancient Lanna Kingdom in Northern Thailand, represents human creative in urban planning. Seven hundred years ago, King Mengrai gave much forethought to city planning and founded the moated city on the foothill of Doi Suthep-Pui mountain. To the East of the city was a fertile valley of Ping and Kuang Rivers. The lower basin floodplain support the productive wet rice cultivation that sustainably supported this large city and the region and continues to do so at present time. After the four decades of urbanization and development in the region, Chiang Mai remains a high amenity area of ecological and cultural importance with great scenic beauty and increasing tourist, leisure, retirement and second home demand. Comprehensive planning favors the system of the main urban center and the routes crossing the territory connecting to mountain’s leisure and recreation amenities, while the agricultural zone of the flood plain in between has been neglected. Traditionally, rural landscape of Mae Kuang Valley used to be very intertwined with landscape and its functions and processes. Socio-ecological ecosystems are increasingly vulnerable to modern development, with impacts including disruption of food production and water supply, altered resilience of ecosystems and consequences for human well-being. Since human activities have impacted on nature, a better synergy should be established between the two to ensure sustainability.

SCENARIO A: THE EARLY ADOPTER The early adopter can utilize the improved green - blue infrastructures to response to emerging and expanding new markets such as organic farming and cultural tourism while maintaining unique local cultural characters. Also the improved green - blue infrastructures will enhance the resilience of the communities ecologically, socio-economically and culturally to absorb, adapt or transform in response to different kinds of changes, perturbations or disturbances. Most of the transformations - a result from adapting the strategies would occur internally. There are insignificant changes in terms of land areas such as the increasing of orchard and vegetable farms would be the result of rice paddies conversion to diversify agricultural productivity. Also the increasing of built up areas is small because most of the changes would be increasing density in a low density residential areas.

Assumptions and Innovations
SCENARIO B: THE LATE ADOPTER
Assumptions:
Since the rural villages of Chiang Mai already have their own existing infrastructures and the way of living, the main strategy seeks to build upon these infrastructures to enhance functionality. Strategies will look to reorganize, reactivate, repurpose, restore and strengthen existing landscapes into a multi-functional and resilient landscape. Revaluation of the community’s hydro-agricultural pattern in order to provide space, environmental moderation, water-quality maintenance and new perspectives is critical.
The green - blue infrastructure is a multi-scaled solution to challenges of the future. Green - Blue infrastructures are important mediums that facilitate processes that shape the built environment and socio-economic and cultural landscapes. Movement and flows are at the core of these landscape infrastructures. Innovations: Green - Blue Infrastructure “Greener, healthier, attractive towns and villages sustainably connected to the rich tapestry of distinctive landscapes, wildlife habitats and waterways – valued, enjoyed and cared for by local people.” (Maidstone Borough Council , 2016)
The late adopter will take advantage of learning from the dynamics of changes and the impacts then adjust the strategies accordingly. But improving green - blue infrastructures remains the core strategy to build absorptive capacity, adaptive capacity and transformative capacity. Changes in terms of land areas remain insignificant. Most of the changes would be in the form of capacity, diversification, efficiency, resiliency and sustainability.
Rural Resilience “Rural resilience may be defined as the capacity of a rural region to adapt to changing external circumstances in such a way that a satisfactory standard of living is maintained. This also includes the capacity to recover from management or government mistakes.” (Heijman, Hagelaar, & Heide, 2007)

The Alternative Future of Chiang Mai: Green - Blue Infrastructures and Resilient Peri-Urban Landscapes
IGC 2020
After four decades of urbanization in the region of Chiang Mai, the largest city in Northern Thailand, unplanned developments superimposed on the matrix of the fertile valley of Mae Kuang river. Peri-urban landscapes, the intermix of modern housing developments, traditional rural villages, rice paddies, farmlands and the indigenous green - blue infrastructure networks, has been created. Rural landscape of Mae Kuang Valley used to be very intertwined with landscape and its functions and processes. Socio-ecological ecosystems are increasingly vulnerable to modern development, with impacts including disruption of food production and water supply, altered resilience of ecosystems and consequences for human well-being. As a result, the traditional livelihoods have been changed and degraded. To ensure sustainability, the synergy between the landscape of new development and traditional rural landscape should be established. The adapted, improved and enhanced existing indigenous green - blue infrastructures can lead the way to lay the foundation for sustainability of peri-urban landscapes. In addition, the enhanced green - blue infrastructure can enable peri-urban landscapes to maintain ecosystem services of the rural landscape that support the city region of Chiang Mai.

The proposal emerges from the question of what roles parks would play for Melbourne’s future. With an understanding between nature and human sphere, this study aims at reclaiming pristine natural landscape areas where they used to function confluently with the settlement pattern. Embracing historic natural structures with sensitive design contributes to a new equilibrium which the indigenous ecosystem and blue-green infrastructures are restored along with recreational purpose. This integrated approach will tackle with a broad portfolio of urban risks and act as a value adder and bring economic opportunity for local communities. The research shows that the critical climatic-risk areas are apparently at the shiftedlandscapes where endemic wetlands once positioned. An increased impermeable urban surface induces natural disaster events such as floods. In lieu of finding a new open space, this project proposes to examine potential areas from the antecedent natures and restore them as the city’s green infrastructure. Several concepts of Water Sensitive Urban design were implemented in this project including retentions and detentions, cleansing biotopes, wetlands, green roof and wall, as well as pocket rain gardens.

This project exemplifies three concepts of urban park development to catalyze the needs of people to live sustainably: 1) Embracing history to take back the spatial context of the parks, including restoration of the meadows, wetlands, and Yarra old courses; 2) Implementing phytoremediation as well as providing recreational programs in industrial development areas such as Fisherman Bend; 3) Strengthening robust park system includes existing city green spaces, roadways, watercourses and extending access through immersive biophilic experiences. In conclusion, the new Melbourne park system compiles a series of ‘landscape infrastructure’ linked with the strengthened ‘park network’ including green streets and the river corridors. Besides generating a sustainable urban landscape, they are proposed to use the native edible plants to create food resource and encourage community mobility. In the long run, these parks will merge contextualized ecosystems with neighbourhoods and perform as a blue-green infrastructure using public open space in shaping future development.

Literally in Kong Village, people’s activities have been adapted with the dynamic of water and become a vital part of the socio-economic system since the past. However, the external implementations in Thailand have extremely impacted their livelihoods by regulating, diverting, and interrupting the Yom’s river system. These developed by a lacking of environmental concerns about the dynamic and condition of landscape. The objective of this research is to understand the role of the flood pulse in relation to the livelihood of people in Kong village. The research consists of two main parts. The first part is the use of geographic information system (GIS) as a tool for identifying the overall structure of the landscape and the dynamics within it. The second part is an interpretive analysis of the relation between the flood pulse in the landscape and the livelihood of the people within the area of study. The result of the research shows the significance of flood pulse in bringing food and income to Kong villagers. Thus, it is concluded that the pulse is of great importance to their livelihood. Change in the natural hydrologic cycle by human modification can lead to the loss of these benefits. The consequence of the loss can be an adaptation of the people to a new livelihood in which these benefits are not assumed.

Landscape Structure
In Chaopraya basin is consist of three-part Upper reach, Middle reach and Lower reach and (Takaya, 1971) the identification of the structure of the Yom river uses GIS system to describe the result by use map data from Dheeradilok (1995) that develop from Takaya’s map. The use of the map is to register map on Arcmap and digitized and overlay with digital elevation map (DEM) The Result is the study area and Kong village located at Recent Alluvial (Floodplain) area

Ecosystem Services and change
the result of landscape function and ecosystem services is from the survey and water data of yom river. the result shows that people in the Kong village had activities that link with the dynamic of water such as Fishing, Planting rice in the past however, The external development that changes the Yom’s river system had an impact on the livelihood of kong village. By promoted the new High Yield Varieties rice that can plant all year and demand a lot of water and build structure to control water in the river. The affected have led to the loss of ecosystem services especially native fish that depend on natural flow.
