Coastal Erosion and Flood Coping Mechanisms in Southern Thailand: A Qualitative Study

Communities in coastal regions are affected by the impacts of extreme climatic events causing flooding and erosion. Reducing the impacts of flood and erosion in these areas by adopting coping strategies that fortify the resilience of individuals and their localities is desirable. This study used sum...
