Flood Susceptibility Map Based on Frequency Ratio Method at Songkhla Lake Basin in the Southern of Thailand
Abstract
The purpose of this study, Geographic Information System (GIS) and factors that contribute to the flooding (altitude, slope, surface drainage, stream network density, and land use and land cover) were applied in order to create the flood susceptibility map at Songkhla lake basin. All factors were analyzed with flood areas between 2007-2014. Flood susceptibility mapping was illustrated by frequency ratio method and categorized into five classes namely; 1) the very high susceptibility area was 1,907.96 sq.km. (22.19% of the total area), 2) the high susceptibility area was 1,863.88 sq.km. (21.67% of the total area), 3) the moderate susceptibility area was 1,171.03 sq.km. (13.62% of the total area), 4) the low susceptibility area was 1,961.25 sq.km. (22.81% of the total area), and 5) the very low susceptibility area was 1,695.51 sq.km. (19.72% of the total area). The mapping validation effort was examined by using area under curve for flood area. It showed that the success rate curve was 88.12% and the prediction rate curve was 86.27%.
