Abstract
This research aimed to establish a surveillance model to prevent flooding in Sena District, Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Province. A quantitative method was adopted involving Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). The sample size was 210 people in the Sena District. Three factors were focused on: disaster leadership, participation of citizens, as well as disaster surveillance system. The results show that the model of flooding surveillance in Sena District, Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Province, was consistent with the empirical evidence. The regression weight of the model indicated that disaster leadership was highly related to the participation of citizens, while the disaster surveillance system variable was negatively related. Ultimately, citizens’ participation had a strong effect on the disaster surveillance system. Overall, the model of flooding surveillance in Sena District, Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Province, should adopt collaborative approaches between local government leaders and people within an area, in order to create a flood disaster plan collaboratively.
