Abstract

The objectives of this research were to evaluate risk factors and assess flood risk areas, including analyzing guidelines for flood risk area management in Patong Municipality, Kathu District, Phuket Province. Factors affecting flood were rainfall, slope gradient, soil permeability, land use, and water barrier. Weighting factors and rating factors were indicated and geographic information system for potential surface analysis and overlay analysis were applied. The results revealed that Patong Municipality had high risk area as 2.17 km2 (11.39%). Flood risk area for moderate level accounted for 4.00 km2 (20.99%) and low flood risk area accounted for 12.89 km2 (67.62%). Guidelines for flood risk area management in Patong Municipality should focus on the principles of soil and water conservation, forest restoration and preservation in the upstream area, flow path and stream are management, land use management, ground cover planting to prevent soil erosion and maintain soil moisture.

Abstract

Sustainable agricultural ecotourism in small?island environments requires management systems that integrate animal welfare, conservation, and local livelihood goals. This study aims to design a practical, community?based model for agricultural ecotourism centred on Bali cattle husbandry in Sakti Village by linking welfare?oriented pen design, feeding management, and governance processes to broader ecological and cultural objectives. The research employed a design?science approach supported by spatial planning, participatory governance, and field?based assessments to develop siting standards, construction guidelines, operational protocols, and monitoring systems suited to island conditions. Results show that appropriate roofing, ventilation, pen dimensions, sanitation systems, and continuous water access significantly improved cattle comfort, biosecurity, and visitor safety, while balanced feeding strategies supported stable growth and resilience across seasons. Waste?to?resource practices strengthened circularity, and community involvement enhanced policy coherence, social acceptance, and long?term feasibility. These findings illustrate that well?designed husbandry standards can simultaneously improve animal welfare, enrich visitor interpretation, and support community benefits when embedded within adaptive governance. Overall, the study provides an integrated framework for developing livestock?based agricultural ecotourism on small islands and demonstrates its potential to align tourism development with conservation aims, cultural heritage, and rural prosperity.
