Abstract-In Thailand, one of Southeast Asia countries, agricultural area can be normally found, however, farmlands have been traditionally developed depending on economic benefits. These are likely to cause a variety of mechanisms interacting to habitat change in these areas which bring to the aim of this study. That is to investigate the effect of land use change to ecological factor with focus on bird communities. The study was separated into two parts, including land use analysis and bird species investigation. The suburbs area connected to Suvarnabhumi Airport was selected. From GIS layer evaluation, there were statistical association of the change between the year 1994 and 2002, with significant difference (P<0.01), evaluated by correlation coefficient. For bird species communities, the species disappearance was found from three to thirty-three species depending on the pattern of land use development. The disappearance of species which use paddy fields as their habitats showed significant relationship (P<0.05), evaluated by pearson correlation.Index Terms-Ecological impact, bird index, land use, Suvarnabhumi Airport, Thailand.

“…The accelerated industrialization and urbanization following economic reforms and population increases have greatly affected land-use change through the increase of built-u areas and urban sprawl [15]. Urban expansion is positively related to population growth [12]. The relationship between urban growth and increasing population was inspected and found strong correlation ( Table 4).…”

This study revealed land use/cover change of Manikganj Sadar Upazila concerning with urbanization of Dhaka city. The study area also offers better residential opportunity and food support for Dhaka city. The major focus of this study is to find out the spatial and temporal changes of land use/cover and its effects on urbanization while Dhaka city is an independent variable. For analyzing land use/cover change GIS and remote sensing technique were used. The maps showed that, between 1989 and 2009 built-up areas increased approximately +12%, while agricultural land decreased −7%, water bodies decreased about −2% and bare land decreased about −2%. The significant change in agriculture land use is observed in the south-eastern and north eastern site of the city because of nearest distance and better transportation facilities with Dhaka city. This study will contribute to the both the development of sustainable urban land use planning decisions and also for forecasting possible future changes in growth patterns.

This paper presents the description of land use change in the suburbs near Suvarnabhumi International Airport, with a focus on land use patterns before and during airport development. According to geographic information system (GIS), land use patterns are categorized into three main groups, namely intensive urban development land, areas developed under environmental conditions, and natural land. Steps of land use changes, land use planning and related factors concerning number of population, dwelling units and factories were analyzed. In the short term, urban development dramatically increases by 39.97% whereas the areas developed under environmental conditions decreased by 37.52%, with significant correlation (P < 0.05). The natural land which is typically grassland and watercourses changed insignificantly (P > 0.05). Urbanization of the areas where the airport is located increased between 10.07% and 15.57%. The changes of land use comply with the Integrated Town and Country Planning. The areas where urbanization is small are under the area designated as the green area. Urban expansion is mainly a result of increase in residential areas which is closely related to number of population. Such changes indicate a need for more effective urban development planning and management to conserve environmental quality.
