Coastal Changes in the Cha-am Beach Area, Cha-am District, Phetchaburi Province
Keywords:
Coastal change, Land use, Coastal erosionAbstract
The objective of this research is to study a change in land use at Cha-am Beach in 2559, 2561, and 2563. The study of change in coastal conditions and the relationship between land use and coastal changes by applying geographic information technology to examine the effect of land use on coastal erosion. The results show that the changes in land use of residential areas and buildings increased. Based on coastal area change data, the study found that the area with the highest erosion is the north of Cha-am Beach, covering an area of 5,328.17 square meters and has a coastal change rate of 4.53 meters per year, which is characteristic of moderate coastal erosion. The area with the highest accumulation is the south of Cha-am Beach, covering an area of 210.84 square meters and has a coastal
