SeriesSeries: Asian Institute of Technology. Thesis ; no. WM-16-01Publication details: Pathum Thani, Thailand : Asian Institute of Technology, 2016Description: 1 online resource (45, 7 leaves) : illSubject(s): Online resources: Dissertation note: Thesis (M. Eng.) - Asian Institute of Technology, 2016 Summary: The appellation "vulnerability" is utilized as a part of a wide range of routes by different scholastic communities. Vulnerability of the system is considered as the function of exposure, sensitivity and adaptive capacity of the system and vulnerability may differ within the countries, regions and areas according to the climate stimuli exposures, the sensitivity of the system itself and adaptive capacity to cope with the changes due to the stresses. In this study, thevulnerability assessment on Moeyungyi wetland has been developed by the indicators-based approaches with respects to the functions of climate exposures, sensitivity and adaptive capacity of fourvillages, namely, Tarzon, Thoneeinzu, Kapin and Punchaung villages near Moeyungyi wetland inBago,Myanmar.The climate stimuli (temperature and precipitation) are considered as the exposure indicators in analyzing the vulnerability indices and are also described in the climate trend analysis. The variation rainfall and the status of habitats are considered as the sensitivity parameters and the socio-economic conditions of the nearby villages are used as adaptive capacity indicators in this study.Analysis of the climate indices results the increasing trend in precipitation and the temperature trend is decreasing generally near Moeyungyi wetland area. State of the exposure indicators shows the higher values in eastern part of the wetland (Kapin and Punchaung villages) and the highest sensitivity value is in Thoneeinzu village while the sensitivity of the other three villages are nearly same values. However, the highest adaptive capacity value in Kapin village has been shown among four villages. So, the vulnerability in northeast part (Kapin village) where has resulted the highest adaptive capacity value is moderate while the other parts of the wetland shows the high vulnerability.
