Environmental profile for central dry zone area of Myanmar

Abstract

The main aim of this research work is to create environmental profile in central dry zone area of Myanmar due to harsh climatic conditions. In the study region the adverse effects of climate change are believed to be a major constraint to uncertain ecosystem. Theses extreme climatic events are likely increase in frequency and magnitude of serious drought periods and extreme floods. For environmental profile, we did vulnerability assessment in ArcGIS software. The spatial approach allowed the analysis of different indicators, providing a platform for data integration as well as a visually powerful overview of the study area.
