Flood Problem
For the past decades, many regions of our world has been facing with flood. There are several factors those are believed to be the origin of the problems. Many organizations in the world are paying their attention on this problem as the effect of flood has been increasing every year. In Southeast-Asia, many countries also have to deal with flood every year. Thailand is also one of them.
Flooding has been occurring in Thailand for decades. The damage it causes is more than billions of baht each year to several business sectors and households. However, we will be focusing on effects of flood on lives of people who live in central region of Thailand.
Our scope will focus on provinces which are situated in the central part of Thailand as most of them are very important to the nation. For example, Bangkok and Nonthaburi are the provinces which there are millions of people living in and they are where all of government ministries are situated in. For Ayuthaya, it is the province which contains a lot of national heritages like ancient temples and pagodas. However, people and infrastructures in these provinces have been under the impact of flooding every year.
Moreover, these provinces are the business areas which are responsible for Thai GDP's growth. For example, Sukhothai is well known for its production of agricultural products and beautiful pottery. Samutsakorn is also well known for fishery products. That's why we believe that if you can help reduce their loss from flooding, it will be a great opportunity for investment.
In order to understand more, we will try to collect relevant information, analyze data and find the root problems which cause flooding in central region of Thailand. We would co-operate with several parties such as local residents, local officers, organizations and etc., to gain access to more information and understanding towards the problems. We will see all available alternatives. Moreover, we will analyze them into different matrix. Finally, we expect to figure out promising business plan which will benefit both us and them.
We will use Google Blogspot to create our own e-portfolio and we will allow people who are interested in the project to see what we have done and even allow them to share their ideas. In other words, it will be like center for people who are interested in this problem. Our e-portfolio will provide information regarding flood in central region of Thailand and also contain specific sections which will talk about untapped business opportunity for entrepreneurs who are interested in doing business in this sector. In other words, we will develop eco-business plan which doesn't aim to make just financail profit but think for environment and people who live with it. This business model will be sustainable and be benefitial to people in both short-term and long-term.
