| Abstract | The Complications of forest fires in North-Western Thailand is closely associated in the land use.Forests are periodically burned with a high or low intensity, ensuing in an instantaneous change of the land cover to a burned surface.The essential land cover changes that could arise in North-Western Thailand forests after fires are increase of shrub-land, re-increase of the wooded area stands, and terrain mobilization accompanied by forest plantation. Less common are the changes of the burned surface into urban or agricultural areas. Multispectral satellite data have become a common tool to aid in the detection of changes to ecosystems. Differencing is the most common technique used in multi-date change detection and has been used extensively to assess fire severity. this study proposes the methodology used to produce a relative burn severity index and the results other fires that occurred in the Sierra Mae Hong Son forest, Thailand. This study will estimate dynamics of the Mae Hong Son forest will generate inventory data. The spatial data will be clustered into a digital map database to ease forest management at the micro and macro levels. This study will demonstrate the methodology for monitoring if forest affected by fire burn and hopefully can become model for similar studies utilizing Google earth engine. The proposed study will help in evaluate performance of NBR obtained from Landsat 8 and sentinel 2 for study area. |
