This article discusses the changes of land cover in Lanna cultural landscape through Chiangmai-Lamphun basin case study, to synthesize the local intellect in water management of Lanna cultural landscape, including the past-to-present impact from land cover changes, using landscape-based approach. The result illustrates the area’s spatial relationship and functions, along with the ecosystem service in Lanna cultural landscape.
The result shows that the important landscape structures that serve as the landscape corridor of Lanna cultural landscape in Chiangmai-Lamphun basin are consisted of a creek, a Muang-Fai and a paddy field; all connected in a large system and affect each other from upstream to midstream and downstream. In the past 20 years, vegetated area of Chiangmai-Lamphun basin has been decreased by 15%, making the ratio of permeable surface to impermeable surface reduce from 6:1 to 3:1. This resulted in the runoff curve number of midstream and downstream to increase from 46 to 50 and 59 to 67 respectively, following by more volumes of runoff and peak flow. So that there should be concern and encouragement to conserve the landscape structures, such as the conservation of the Muang-Fai network, restoration of the old water way and city area expansion, in order to control and help reduce the hydrological impact.
