The results of the study are as follows; the high risk flooding areas account for 29.40 percent and the area most risks to flooding found scattered throughout on the plains accounted for 42.20 percent. The Second issue; The map of vulnerability to floods consider the effects of the risk factors and flood adaptation capacity of households. The overall analysis of vulnerability shows that 1 household has a high level of vulnerability to flooding and 27 households that are vulnerable to flooding at a moderate level. The research results have led to an upgrade in flood management, thus creating an action plan for using maps to develop the capacity of local administrative organizations, namely pre-disaster, during the disaster, and post-disaster action plans of the local government organization in Dan Makham Tia District, Kanchanaburi.</p> ER -
