Abstract

          Coastal morphological change is a dynamic occurrence which affected by seasonal climate factors and anthropogenic activities; however, man-made structure or coastal engineering structures tend to enhance the natural balance disturbance. This study intended to explore the change in coastal morphology influenced by the coastal engineering structures in Mrigadayavan Palace, Phetchaburi Province by comparing coastlines from the years of 1994 (period before structure employment) and 2014 to 2021 (period after structure employment). The study examined the changes during the southwest monsoon and northeast monsoon using Landsat-8 satellite imagery and arial photography, suspended sediment analysis and in situ surveys for current, sediment, and beach profile data gatherings. Results showed sediment deposition stage in Southwest monsoon, resulting in longer and more steeper beach front, while sediments were decreased during the Northeast monsoon.  Result also revealed that the southernmost breakwater next to a jetty changed the most. Overall, sediment deposition was higher than erosion annually. The average sediment deposition was 15.70 meters while average erosion was 4.90 meters. Area shallower (seawater line to five meters depth) had highest sedimentation rate while area at 10 meters depth had the lowest.  The highest suspended sediment volume during the southwest monsoon was 0.3 and the northeast monsoon was 0.27. Tide in the area was mixed tide and moving in north-south axis during high-tide and low-tide, respectively. Tidal range in Southwest monsoon was higher than Northeast monsoon. Results could be concluded that sediment tends to deposit more in this area after the year 2021 but due to long-term disturbance from coastal structure, coastal changing in the area is still inconclusive therefore should be monitored and long-term monitoring of coastal area status to plan a policies or measures for support the impact of various structures including future disasters. Keywords :  coastline changes ; sediment deposition ; geo-informatics
