The fish described in this paper were sampled from four watersheds in the Eastern, Chao Phraya, Peninsular, and Maeklons regions of central Thailand, between the years 2000-2004. A total of 124 species were captured from 160 stream and river sites, using an electrofishing method. 33 of these species were captured in the Eastern region and 42 in the Peninsular region. In the Chao Phraya and Maeklong areas, the fish species were both more abundant and more varied, and 52 and 91 species, respectively, were collected in these regions. Seven species (Brachydanio albolineatus, Rasbora paviei, System us binotatus, Homaloptera smithi, Monopterus albus, Macrognathus circumcintus, Channa gaucha) were commonly found in all of the watersheds.

Blastocystis is a common zoonotic enteric protozoan that has been classified into 17 distinct subtypes (STs). A cross-sectional study was conducted to determine the prevalence and subtype distributions of Blastocystis in villagers living along the Chao Phraya River, Ayutthaya Province, Thailand, and to assess the risk of zoonotic infection. In total, 220 stool samples were collected, and DNA was extracted. PCR and sequencing were performed with primers targeting the small-subunit ribosomal RNA (SSU rRNA) genes. Blastocystis was present in 5.9% (13/220) of samples, and ST3 (5.0%; 11/220) was the predominant subtype, followed by ST2 (0.45%; 1/220) and ST6 (0.45%; 1/220). Phylogenetic trees were constructed with the maximum-likelihood method based on the Hasegawa-Kishino-Yano + G + I model, neighbor-joining, and maximum parsimony methods. The percentage of bootstrapped trees in which the associated taxa clustered together was relatively high. All the sequences of the Blastocystis-positive samples (KU051524-KU051536) were closely related to those from animals (pig, cattle, and chicken), indicating a zoonotic risk. Therefore, the villagers require proper health education, especially regarding the prevention of parasitic infection, to improve their personal hygiene and community health. Further studies are required to investigate the Blastocystis STs in the animals living in these villages.

In 2011, floods were at the worst stage of devastation in Chao Phraya river basin of Thailand. The purpose of this study is to trace the flood inundation area around Chao Phraya river basin by using Terra MODIS image because it has the ability of spatiotemporal dynamics. The MODIS indices, which included the enhanced vegetation index(EVI), land surface water index(LSWI), and the difference in the values of EVI and LSWI(DVEL), were extracted from MODIS product MOD09 8-day composite datasets with a spatial resolution of 500m from Jul. 29, 2011 to Jan. 09, 2012. We found that combined application of EVI, LSWI, and DVEL was suitable for monitoring flood inundation. For the extracted flood inundation area and water-related area. The result can be used to acquire the flood inundation data scattered and demonstrate the potential for the use of MODIS data for temporal and spatial detection of flood effects.

최근 태국 짜오프라야강 유역의 물 부족 문제 해결을 위해 한국 정부와 태국 정부간 G2G사업으로 "태국 짜오프라야강 유역과 인근 유역 연계 수자원개발 마스터플랜 수립"이 추진되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 장기간 가뭄 등으로 물 부족 문제가 심각한 태국 짜오프라야강 유역에 대하여 다각적인 추가용수 공급방안을 검토하고 이를 토대로 수자원 장기 종합계획을 수립하기 위한 태국 짜오프라야강 유역의 물수급 현황 및 향후 전망을 분석하고자 한다. 본 연구에서는 ModSim 8.5 모형을 통해 물수급 현황 및 전망을 분석하였으며 대상유역은 짜오프라야강 유역과 인접한 유역 7개 유역(Ping, Wang, Yom, Nan, Sakae Krang, Pasak, Chao Phraya)을 대상으로 하였으며 총 유역면적은 $195,718km^2$로 우리나라 면적의 2배에 달한다. 또한 물수지 분석을 위한 입력자료 구축은 총 30년간(1986년 1월 1일 ~ 2013년 12월 31일)의 소유역별 자연유입량, 용수수요량(생활, 공업, 농업) 및 환경유량으로 구축하였으며 대상유역의 대규모 시설물인 19개소의 댐에 대한 제원도 태국 현지 기관을 통해 확보하여 물수지 분석에 적용하였다. 물수지 분석시 적용된 용수수요량에 대한 공급우선순위는 환경유량, 생할용수, 공업용수, 농업용수순이며 동일 용수의 경우 상류에 위치한 수요량에 우선순위를 우선적으로 부여하였다. 각 수요량에 대한 회귀율은 태국 물수급 해석 조건에 맞춰 환경유량 100%, 생공용수 0%, 농업용수 50%로 적용하였다. 연구결과, 2015년을 대상으로 분석한 불수급 현황은 생공용수의 경우, Ping과 Wang 유역에서만 수요량 대비 10~30%정도 부족량이 발생한데 반해 농업용수의 경우, 전 유역에서 약 20~40% 정도의 부족량이 발생하고 있으며 2025년 및 2035년을 대상으로 분석한 물수급 전망은 2015년 현황과 유사하나 부족량의 심도를 더욱 커지고 범위도 넓어지는 경향을 나타내고 있으며 농업용수의 경우 전유역에서 약 20~50%정도의 부족량이 발생하였으며 가장 극한 부족이 발생한 소유역은 80%까지도 발생될 것으로 전망되었다.

This study evaluates Japan's Official Development Assistance (ODA) projects in Thailand from 2011 to 2013 by deploying the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (SFDRR) and the Organization for Economic Cooperation Development (OECD) evaluation criteria. Special attention is placed on disaster-related development assistance activities of Japan through reviewing long-term impacts of the projects. The Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) has played a crucial role in transferring Japan's experiences on disaster risk management to developing countries, including Thailand. The study highlights two flood risk management projects in Thailand with the support of JICA after the 2011 floods, namely the Project for the Comprehensive Flood Management Plan for the Chao Phraya River Basin and the Project for Flood Countermeasures for Thailand Agriculture Sector. The case studies demonstrate that the projects were efficiently and effectively conducted for meeting Thailand's needs and requirements. JICA provided multi-hazards risk analysis through scientific data as well as local knowledge. However, achievements of the project did not last for long because of a lack of Thai stakeholders' commitment and JICA's post-project management. It is concluded that a development agency should consider impacts and sustainability of flood risk management projects more carefully from the stage of planning, and the practical application of the knowledge, and technologies should also be monitored progressively after the completion of the project.
