Abstract

This research aims to study changes of land use in Huai Mae Prachan subwatershed in Phetchaburi Province based on satellite images taken in 1987, 2003 and 2017 in order to look for changes of forest areas especially, legal forest areas and to recommend forest reclamation guidelines to conform with government policies to increase forest areas to 40% of the country area within 2024. The study found that during 1977-2017, forest areas have been decreased by 6.93% while agricultural, community, water resources and other miscellaneous areas have been increased by 5.15, 0.64, 0.98 and 0.16 respectively. When considering legal forest areas, it was found that permanent forest areas overlapping with reserved forests outside national parks have the highest changes of 80.99 km2. It was due to large areas having unclear borders and regulations compared to the national park’s area which has not any changes of land use in the past 30 years. Therefore, to achieve reforestation in the invaded forest areas, boundaries should be clearly specified along with land use information management. Moreover, knowledge and support of community forestry should be promoted to prevent forest invasion in the future in order to build awareness of the value of forest to the locals and gain cooperation in reforestation
