Abstract

This research article aims to: 1) investigate geography and socioeconomic contexts as well as agroecosystem of Mae Rim Watershed, 2) analyse climate change over the past 20 years (from 2001-2020) and 3) find out the decision choices of farmers’ adaptation to climate change affecting agricultural ecosystem in Mae Rim Watershed under two conditions: if farmers are faced with a ‘long-term drought’ situation, and if farmers are faced with a ‘long-term flood’ situation. The research uses an agroecosystem model based on geographical information system coupled with analysing contextual socioeconomic data obtained from questionnaire and interviews with sample farmers. The result illustrates Mae Rim watershed can be classified into three zones of agricultural ecosystem (i.e., lowland, upland and highland agroecological zones). These zones are subjected to climate change situation during 2001 - 2020. The statistical analysis results show an increase of mean annual temperature trend and a decreasing trend of mean annual rainfall, which may directly affect to farmlands in the future. However, reactions of farmers’ adaptation to long-term climate change effects are revealed that they have chiefly made the decision to adapt themselves by looking for additional jobs as their first choice, whenever a long-term drought or flood occurs.
