“…The theoretical framework encompasses the socio-economic and cultural dependency upon the SMEs [6,7]. Several previous studies have adopted the theoretical framework for enhancing the sustainable development of local communities through strengthening vulnerable SMEs [8,9]. SMEs contribute to the majority of employment, provide economic stability, and provide a mechanism for rapid growth and development [10][11][12].…”

Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) constitute the vital economic fabric of Thailand, catalyzing growth and employment opportunities. However, the advent of disruptive events, exemplified by the COVID-19 pandemic, poses formidable challenges to their sustainable development. Adequate cost management and supply chain management are crucial for these SMEs to sustain themselves through disruptive scenarios. This study aims at exploring, understanding, and analyzing various factors that would impact the reduced vulnerability of SMEs and enhance the sustainability of the Thai economy. The methodology adopted for this research is the qualitative method. The data has been collected through semi-structured interviews and in-depth interviews, and secondary data has been collected through online and printed sources. The data analysis involves content analysis of the themes that are deduced from the extensive literature review. Furthermore, the data has been analyzed with Strength, Weakness, Opportunity, and Threats (SWOT) to analyze the impacts of internal and external factors on the sustainability of the SMEs. The study's findings divulge a spectrum of challenges spanning cost management intricacies, socio-cultural influences, and economic nuances that collectively impede SME progress. The absence of effective governmental policies, regulations, and actual need assessments of society and the economy results in enhanced vulnerabilities for SMEs. Similarly, the risk perceptions of the SMEs were found to be inaccurate, which led to ineffective cost management strategies and supply chain management during the COVID-19 pandemic. These findings cover the existing literature gap. The research paves the way for further micro-level research into the amalgamated impact of cost management and adequate supply chain management, especially during disruptive events such as the COVID-19 pandemic.

“…According to the World Atlas of Natural Disaster Risk, Thailand is among the top 10% of countries worldwide at risk of economic loss from flooding. Extreme river flooding is predicted to cause more than 2 million injuries by 2035-2044, and coastal flooding could injure almost 2.4 million persons by 2100 [8][9][10]. Flooding in the Chi watershed, where farming and animal husbandry are critical to the economy, has been a recurrent problem for about two to three times, with significant flooding occurring every two to three years.…”

Climate change has intensified the frequency and severity of extreme weather events, necessitating a nuanced understanding of flood patterns for effective risk management. This study examines flood risk in the Chi watershed, Thailand, using Weekly Moving Cumulative Rainfall (WMCR) data from 1990 to 2021. We employ extreme value copula analysis to assess spatial dependence between meteorological stations in the watershed. Nine bivariate generalized extreme value (BGEV) models were evaluated using the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) and the Likelihood Ratio test (LRT) to ensure model robustness. The BGEV model revealed higher tail dependence among stations near the bay of the watershed. We also calculated the flood recurrence period to estimate flood events’ frequency and potential severity. Stations ST5 (Khon Kaen), ST6 (Tha Phra Khon Kaen), and ST8 (Maha Sarakham) were identified as potential hotspots, with higher probabilities of experiencing extreme rainfall of approximately 200 (mm.) during the rainy season. These findings provide valuable insights for flood management and mitigation strategies in the Chi watershed and offer a methodological framework adaptable to other regions facing similar challenges.

A tanulmány világkereskedelmi indikátorok és nemzetközi input-output táblák segítségével elemzi azokat az elsőkörös gazdasági hatásokat, amelyek Oroszország Ukrajna elleni háborúja következtében az értékláncokban végbemennek. A két ország globális világkereskedelmi súlya ugyan csekély, néhány termékcsoport, illetve termék (gabonafélék, napraforgóolaj, fémek, nemesgázok stb.) terén azonban meghatározó, ennek következtében a kínálat visszaesése vagy teljes kiesése zavarokat okozott, illetve okoz egyes régiók élelmiszer-ellátásában és bizonyos felhasználó ágazatok termelésében. A világ összes országát magába foglaló Eora globális input-output adatbázis alapján végzett elemzés fő következtetése szerint a legnagyobb gazdasági károkat rövid távon Ukrajna, a FÁK-országok (Független Államok Közössége1), Oroszország, valamint a közép- és kelet-európai EU-tagállamok szenvedik el. Magyarország számára a kockázatok számottevőek, különösen az Oroszország elleni embargó által gerjesztett keresleti és kínálati sokkokon keresztül, azonban a kitettség inkább csak erősen közepesnek tekinthető a balti köztársaságokkal és Szlovákiával összehasonlítva. Ezzel kapcsolatban a tanulmány igazolta rövid távon a diverzifikáció, hosszú távon a technológiai fejlesztések fontosságát. A tanulmány tudományos újszerűsége a közvetlen gazdasági kitettség számszerűsítésére kidolgozott input-output módszerhez kapcsolódik, amellyel az embargó és a háború következtében előálló értékesítés- és termeléskiesés hatásait vizsgálja. Ennek segítségével tudjuk megragadni azokat a szűk keresztmetszeteket, amelyeket a rövid távon nem helyettesíthető export és import kiesése okoz (különösen az energiahordozók terén) a világgazdaságban azáltal, hogy a termeléshez szükséges alapanyagok nem állnak rendelkezésre.
