  1. Useof remote sensingforchangedetectionanalysisandmonitoringfor UNESCO-World-Heritage Exemplifiedbythethai national parks „PangSida“ and „TaPhraya“ University of Education, Heidelberg

  2. Intention & Procedure: • change-detection on two national parks of a world heritage site using remote sensing • fieldwork on the protected areas itself and in the surroundings • classification of the satellite scenes • analyse trends of vegetation, landuse and encroachment concerning the pressure on the national parks • period of time: approximately the last 30 years in three steps (1979, 1990 and present)

  3. Aims of the project: 1) Use of remote sensing to help creating standards for monitoring of world heritage sites with the focus on tropical forests 2) Provide assistance with assessing risks and developing a corresponding action plan because of increasing pressure on the national parks 3) Help making the local population (decision makers, students) aware of problems and threats and involve them in the realisation of counteractive measures

  4. Partners: • UNESCO • Open Initiative from Space to Place • initiative on 'Takingthe pulse of UNESCO tropical World Heritagesites' • ESA

  5. The National Parks Landsat ETM+ 2003 PangSida TaPhraya Areas fordetailed analysiswith SPOT data Dong Phayayen-Khao Yai Forest Complex

  6. The National Parks • Description: • both parks are part of the world heritage site "Dong Phayayen-KhaoYai Forest Complex" • "PangSida NP" covers an areaof 84,400 ha and "TaPhraya NP" an areaof 59,400 ha, whichis a total of 143,800 ha • conservationvalue: • part of the second largest continuous forest complex of Thailand • remaining and species-rich rainforest habitat types of different altitudinal zones • also a wide ranged tropical fauna with endangered species

  7. Pang Sida National Park Landsat TM 1990 • Problems & Threats: • noclearbufferzone landusebordersdirectlyontothe park orcrossestheboundary • agricultureandroads • settlementsandillegal logging Landsat ETM+ 2003

  8. Problems & Threats: no clear buffer zone  landuse borders directly onto the park or crosses the boundary agriculture and roads landclearing from illegal cambodian settlers in the 1980s and 1990s Ta Phraya National Park Landsat TM 1990 Landsat ETM+ 2003
