Description:
This book dives into in‑depth case studies across Thailand's low-lying coastal regions and its rapidly changing urban centers. It focuses on main coastal provinces and regions, where multidisciplinary research shows how hydro-meteorological hazards (such as storm surges, flash floods, erosion) are reshaping both natural environments and human systems. Detailed physico-geomorphological modelling reveals dramatic rates of erosion and accretion, up to -34.5 m/year on mangrove coastlines, versus -4 m/year on sandy beaches, with projections of increased storm severity and flooding because of sea-level rise.
The book provides a comprehensive perspective on resilience changes by fusing case-study narratives with institutional analysis, policy evaluation, and UN/Green Climate Fund-backed initiatives. In addition to concrete infrastructure, it highlights nature-based solutions (such as mangrove replanting, sand fences, and crab banks), highlighting the connections between sustainable urban development, multi-scale governance, and local knowledge. In sum, this book offers a detailed yet comprehensive picture of urban and coastal resilience, making it an essential tool for academics, decision-makers, and practitioners involved in climate adaptation in tropical coastal regions.
