Coastal zone directly receive the effect of the global scale environmental change such as sea level rise by the global warming. It is anticipated that the large-scale artificial modification by population explosion and economic development more and more also occurs. The critical situation for the global ecosystem and survival of the mankind will be faced, if such environmental variation loses original value and resources of the coastal zone. In order to be correspondent to such problem, to build prediction method coastal zone global environmental change of coastal zone, and to integrate environmental information database by Geographic Information System (GIS) and constructs the system of assessment for impacts of sea level rise.
This study carried out research on investigation of the geographic data set and its specification, when the examination on effects of acquired data of the accuracy on the assessment for impacts of sea level rise in the case study in Thailand. And LANDSAT-TM land cover classification in Thailand coast was made in this study shows effectively classify urban area, salt farm, paddy field, field, forest, sea area, coral reef, mangrove.
