Land and Water Resources Management

 

Research Interests

I carried out three research projects related to land and water resources management during the last several years. First, the MAPNET (Modeling Agricultural Productivity in Northeast Thailand) project highlights regional-level land productivity of rainfed agriculture and aims to bridge the gap between micro-level crop physiological research and regional-level agricultural development planning and to examine the gap between potential and actual yields caused by economic and social environments. This project introduced various kinds of recently developed research tools such as GIS (Geographic Information System), GPS (Global Positioning System), and digital image analysis. Second, the PELUSSA (People, Environment and Land Use Systems in Mainland Southeast Asia) project focuses on sustainable management of land resources in the mountainous regions of Vietnam, Laos, and Thailand. The major research interest is how to change the downward spiral of insufficient food, low cash income, and degrading environments caused by risky environment， weak market economy, and unintegrated policy implementation into an upward spiral. My third research topic is the technical and institutional aspects of irrigation system management in Monsoon Asia and its historical changes. The study areas have so far been Sichuan province, the Red River Delta， and the Mekong River Delta.

Current research topics:

(1) Land productivity evaluation
(2) Agricultural production and environmental protection
(3) Irrigation system management
(4) GIS for rural system analysis
