DDPM who have begun
division.
• lack the specific expertise needed to developinnovative solutions for disaster prevention.
• Thailand has little a source of disastereducation and learningg centre about this.

8Problem (2)• From such a problem, it is a great opportunity
pbecause Japanp
to learn and create experienceis the most famous countries about that andsuitable for beginners to create experiences.

9Question• How does japan use civil engineering methods
prevent and reduce the impact?
pto p• In addition, what is the good practice in Japan
appropriate in Thailand?

10Specific Aims (1)• To study the Disaster Management System inpJapan.
• To gather the knowledge of Civil Engineering
to prevent and reduce the impact of thedisaster in Japan.

11Specific Aims (2)• To identify better ways of Civil Engineering
prevention and reducingg themethod for p
impact of disasters that can be applied toThailand.
Thailand• Prepare recommendations for improvement

DRR BY CIVIL ENGINEERING METHOD IN

heavy,
the water will not drain until it becomes flooded.
• If there is time to study the Floodgate System andSewerage projects in Osaka, the researchers believe thatmany thing in this system can be adapted to suit thesituation in Thailand

41

DRR BY CIVIL ENGINEERING METHOD IN
JAPAN FOR ADEPTATION TO THAILAND (3)( )Engineering for land slide and Sedimentrelated disasters• Based on the study of Sabo dam, thepattern of sabo dam construction in thepast is similar to the water retention inThailand. It is constructed with natural
materials in areas such as wood andp and ppatterns instone. ((See examplesthe appendix.)• The construction of the Sabo Dam withconcrete like the current layout is notconsistent with the context of Thailand.
Because it is not worth the investment
