Dear B. Lefebvre,
I am currently studying a PhD at the Department of Architecture, Cambridge University with Professor Robin Spence and Keiko Saito. The PhD forms part of the RECOVERY project at the Centre for Risk in the Built Environment (CURBE).
The main objective of the research is to develop a series of indicators that will allow aid agencies and funding bodies to monitor RECOVERY after major disasters. We are currently using both the 2005 Pakistan earthquake and the 2004 Thailand Tsunami as two case studies. The project has received full backing from organizations, such as the World Bank and ARUP.
We are particularly interested in the use of high resolution Satellite Imagery acquired throughout the recovery period.
One of our case studies will focus on the fishing village of Ban Nam Khem in Thailand. I therefore wanted to ask if you may have any further information available regarding these constructions, including their approximate location, how many families do they house etc?
Any help you could provide regarding this issue would be very much appreciated.
Kind regards
