Impact Assessment of Flash Flood on the Tourism Sector : A Case Study of Nan Province
Keywords:
Flash flood, Impact assessment of tourism, Flash Flood Potential Index, GIS, Nan provinceAbstract
The aims of the present study are to evaluate the ‘at risk’ areas to flash floods in Nan using the Flash Flood Potential Index (FFPI) and to develop an impact assessment of tourism model. Key effective elements of tourism to flash flood risk were included in the damage assessment model operated on Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The results show that the most susceptible areas to flash floods are located in the northern part of Nan, consisting of Mueang Nan, Pua, Song Khwae, Bo Kluea, and Thung Chang districts. These areas are on steep slopes and receive the highest average annual rainfall. In regards to the impact assessment of flash floods on the tourism sector, Du Tai, Chai Sathan, Pha Sing and Nai Wiang sub-district of Mueang Nan district, Muang Tuet and Fai Kaeo sub-district of Phu Phiang district and Pua sub-district of Pua district are the most notable areas because they are clustered with valuable tourist attractions and accommodation. Our findings may guide stakeholders to develop strategies for early warning systems, establishing guidelines on hazard mitigation and damage protection for tourist sites and tourism-related sectors.
