Holistic approach to flood risk assessment in areas with cultural heritage: a practical application in Ayutthaya, Thailand

This research proposes a holistic approach to flood risk assessment that combines quantitative and qualitative aspects. This approach was developed and applied in the Ayutthaya region in Thailand, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. First, flood risk was assessed traditionally as a product of hazard and vulnerability. Both qualitative and quantitative data were gathered from publicly available sources and through interviews, questionnaires, and focus group discussions to assess the vulnerability, using various weights for the different vulnerability dimensions. The hazard was assessed using a coupled 1D-2D flood model, and the resulting vulnerability and risk were mapped. Second, an alternative flood risk map was produced based on group mapping exercises with local residents, which captures the level of perceived risk. The traditional flood risk map was adjusted by varying the vulnerability weights to better match the perceived risk map. The analysis of these two maps revealed that two approaches to flood risk assessment can be used effectively in gaining different insights of the phenomena, and as such, they both should be used in flood risk management planning.

“…Flood risk is the possibility of losses, in life assets and other consequences that impact on human society. Saltbones [9] further refers to the components which influence the amount of risk, including: exposure, hazard, vulnerability and manageability [8][9][10]. The determinants of flood risk are determined not only by vulnerability but also by characteristics and coping capacity to flood exposure.…”

“…Therefore, the risk of flood is based on three crucial elements which are related as shown in figure 1. Figure 1 The formula of flood risk; sources: adapted from Shook [8], Saltbones [9] and Mongkonkerd [10] Residents cannot avoid flood problems when they are in flood risk areas [10]. The best ways to reduce flood risk are reducing vulnerability and increasing coping capacity, which is a core common component of flood risk management.…”

This article aims to assess the possible physical impact of flood disaster on historical monument sites (HMS). It was found that there are six crucial disaster vulnerability factors. Of these, there are two most important factors for analysing the possible physical impact of flood, which are topography and the distance from the river. In this study 489 HMS were assessed, 294 of these were assessed as possibly being damaged by flood with extremely high, very high or high vulnerability. The field survey assessed 84 HMS as being damaged by the previous 2011 flood. The approach was based on previous studies and the application of Geographic information system(GIS) techniques and on Spatial Multicriteria Evaluation (SMCE) for identifying the disaster vulnerability areas and the priorities for HMS conservation. For the present study, this adopted approach was chosen because it allows non-experts in the field of urban planning and urban architecture to perform surveys on the steps for conservation of HMS in a data scarce environment. Moreover, the results of GIS can be verified with the field survey to deliver priorities of intervention based on the vulnerability of the HMS assets. This study also evaluates the risk factors for integrating hazard risk aspects of cultural heritage sites into conservation plans. Therefore managers of these properties are responsible for protecting their outstanding universal value. Disasters do happen, therefore it is best to be prepared to manage these unavoidable events [1]. KeywordsThailand is regarded as highly vulnerable to natural disasters caused by hydro-meteorological phenomena (floods, landslides, storms, droughts, etc.). Moreover it is also ranked as the seventh most flood prone country in the world. Floods occur almost annually, and they are by far the most devastating disaster in the country. Official statistics from2002-2008 show that the country floods on average approximately 10 times per year [2][3]. Ayutthaya is a province in the middle of Thailand, located 75 km. from Bangkok, the capital city of Thailand.Ayutthaya has a long history of flood cycles with seasonal variance. The basin area is flat at an average elevation of 1 to 2 meters above the mean sea level with certain spots where the elevation down to the sea level due to land subsidence. Ayutthaya's river flooding problems have occurred for a long time. In the past, the local people solved this problem by digging canals. We can still find many canals and water gates today at most of rivers around and inside the Ayutthaya Island [4]. As situations have changed, canal digging is no longer appropriate as city flood protection. The flood in 2011, has resulted in physical, economic, social and environmental damage [5]. The important historical monument sites (HMS) of Ayutthaya were also affected and damaged. Risk and vulnerabilityDefinitions of risk and damage used in research vary with the applications for which they are used. Their basis lies in a commonsense understanding of the concept of risk, such as the...

“…In this method, the overall value of buildings is related to the developed land area, which does not properly account for flood damage to individual buildings, though it is presently the main method for flood damage evaluation. Small-scale evaluations are not based on administrative units, but on individual entities such as buildings or other infrastructure [20,21]. This is useful for flood damage evaluation in small towns and communities, since these areas have higher flood vulnerability [22,23].…”

“…At the same time, flood management decision making has placed higher demands on complex and precise flood information acquisition and applications [29,30]. These new developments have made it possible to better evaluate small-scale flood damage [20,21,31] and develop new flood damage evaluation models such as INSYDE [32].…”

The evaluation of building damage is of great significance for flood management. Chinese floodplains usually contain small- and medium-sized towns with many other scattered buildings. Detailed building information is usually scarce, making it difficult to evaluate flood damage. We developed an evaluation method for building damage by using airborne LiDAR data to obtain large-area, high-precision building information and digital elevation models (DEMs) for potentially affected areas. These data were then used to develop a two-dimensional (2-D) flood routing model. Next, flood loss rate curves were generated by fitting historical damage data to allow rapid evaluation of single-building losses. Finally, we conducted an empirical study based on the Gongshuangcha detention basin in China’s Dongting Lake region. The results showed that the use of airborne LiDAR data for flood-related building damage evaluation can improve the assessment accuracy and efficiency; this approach is especially suitable for rural areas where building information is scarce.
