Abstract: |
Thailand has been more likely to be effected by catastrophe events especially,
flooding because of geographical reason and climate change situation. From flooding
event in 2011 in Thailand, according to the World Bank with the confirmation of Thai
Government, flooding has affected 3,151,224 people from 1,154,576 families and
damage estimated of at least 185 billion baht. Employment has been hurt when
factories flooded and workers were laid off or fired. Not all factories are expected to
reopen causing significant long term job loss in Central Thailand. Therefore, this
study examined the issue of the public support for the provision of " a yearly tax for
flood prevention scheme" . This study has estimated how much the public, the
general population, would be willing to pay for supporting this particular scheme for
the purpose of reducing Government budget deficit in providing national flood
prevention project, targeting working population, with a yearly payment as part of
their yearly income tax. This scheme would be regarded as public-private good as it
would directly reduce the risk of flooding in society, if flooding occurred. |
