Nowadays, the effect of climate change in Thailand causes floods, storms, and drought that lead to land-use change. According to the report in 2015, the heavy rain caused floods in Khon Kaen province, Thailand. In 2019 the forest area in Khon Kaen has decreased by 0.67 percent. The urban and agricultural areas have been increasing. The objective of these studies was to determine the relationship between climate change and land-use change, also to determine the relationship of the land-use change effects on poverty which is one of the problem factors that influence the economy of Thailand.

The study areas were the four major cities (Chiang Mai, Khon Kaen, Chai Nat, and Songkla) of Thailand. The changes of monthly current income per capita and Gross Provincial Product (GPP) of each province were analyzed.

The land-use were classified into 4 categories, named agriculture area, built-up area, water, forest, and miscellaneous area.
The land-use were classified into 4 categories, named agriculture area, built-up area, water, forest, and miscellaneous area. These were analyzed the future trend of land use variation which related to climate change and disaster occurring in the future. The final adaptation measure or best practice tackle and conform were proposed to the National strategy plan.
