タイ中部における農村と洪水の関係「貧しい村」と「豊かな村」はなぜ存在するのか

抄録

The study examined how a poor and a rich village exist on a flood plain. Most poor households have lived for generations in deeply inundated blocks of land near the river. The area used to be the center of river transportation where land ownership varies by resident. After roads were constructed, people moved out, but most landless households remained. The condition of poor residents was compared to rich villagers. The survey shows that the poor group’s houses were inundated deeper and longer than any other groups during the 2011 flood. They had no resources to repair their old wooden houses damaged by 3 months of inundation. To address poverty reduction on the flood plain we encouraged development which takes into account the land title of the poor residents and financial assistance to reinforce their damaged buildings to support living there.
