Environmental Information Data Centre provides 176 survey questionnaires from farmers in Thailand's Ping Catchment. The data captures socioeconomic impacts of historical droughts, adaptation factors, and local communication patterns. Respondents were distributed across Chiang Mai, Lamphun, Kamphaeng Phet, and Tak provinces.

Use Cases

• Analyze socioeconomic impact variables from drought history to model community resilience factors.
• Identify adaptation decision factors influencing farmer responses to drought conditions.
• Study local-scale communication patterns during drought events among agricultural communities.

Strengths

• Contains 176 completed survey questionnaires from a targeted agricultural population.
• Covers four distinct Thai provinces (Chiang Mai, Lamphun, Kamphaeng Phet, Tak) for geographic representation.

Limitations

• Data is limited to a single year (2020) and specific catchment, limiting temporal and geographic generalizability.
