Application Example Application Example Purpose of the Study  To use the Global Map as a means of comprehensive assessment of impacts on natural environment and local economy caused by large-scale international infrastructure construction.

Application Example Application Example Outline of Research  The Global Map and related data on the construction project are first input. Then, impacts on environments after the construction are simulated by applied models. Also indices for the assessment of the simulation results are proposed.

Application Example Application Example Case Study Area  Nam Kam watershed in the Mekong Basin, northeast Thailand, is adopted as a case study area because of the following reasons; 1. Some infrastructure has already been constructed and post-construction impact assessment on environment and socio-economy is available. 2. Observation points for stream-flow data, which is necessary for validation of hydro-environmental model, are well maintained. 3. Land use has been changed for the last 30 years.

Application Example Application Example Outline of Models and Assessment Method  3 models are adopted in this study. 1. Land use model for changes in land use 2. Hydro-environmental model for water resource quantity 3. Soil-environmental model for amount of soil runoff

List of Application Models

Indices in the previous table are calculated to express the difference between environmental impacts and socio-economical effects based on the area characteristics of Nam Kam watershed. Value of Each Scenario – Minimum Value Maximum Value – Minimum Value Index Value = In Nam Kam watershed, Nam Pung dam has already been in operation as a power dam since scenarios shown in the table below have been examined to estimate the land use.

Application Example Application Example Results of Application  The application results of land use model, hydro-environmental model and socio-environmental model and also the assessment results of 4 indices are shown.

Application Example Application Example Conclusion In this study, a comprehensive method has been adopted for the simultaneous evaluation of both environmental impacts and socio-economic effects. In this study, a comprehensive method has been adopted for the simultaneous evaluation of both environmental impacts and socio-economic effects. Combination of the Global Map data and other related data enables the method for the comprehensive assessment, which will be an effective tool for future decision-making.
