GEO-informatics decision support system for reclaimation of abandoned sand pit in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya province
Abstract:
The objective of this study is to develop an Geographic Information System (GIS)
application to support the analysis process to manage and recover the environment of
abandoned sand mines and surrounding areas in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya province. The
study aims to find appropriate strategies to recover the area in consistency with the
community requirements.
The results of the study show that abandoned sand mines in Phra Nakhon Si
Ayutthaya province can be classified into 8 groups which are Bang-Sai 1, Bang-Sai 2, Bang-
Ban, Bang-Pa-In, Pak-Hai 1, Pak-Hai 2, Phra Nakon Si Ayutthaya and Lat-Bua-Luang. After
applying all data to the computer program and performing the analysis, it was found that
every group can develop water consumption resources. From field examination in the area of
Bang-Ban municipality, Bang-Ban district, it was found that abandoned sand mines in this
area can be developed as water consumption resources which was consistent with the output
from the program analysis. Therefore it can be concluded that the analysis output from the
program can be used as a primary suggestion in order to determine strategies to develop and
recover the area.
The computer programming was set up at Maha-Phram municipality for the local
officers to examine and make use of it. There are suggestions from the municipality about the
programming design that should take into account the actual requirements of local people in
the surrounding communities, optimum budget that to used to recover and develop the area
and cooperation between the pits ’owners and people in the communities in order to provide
sustainable development of the area.
