2004年的海啸摧毁了泰国南部的大片地区。本文特别研究了考拉克地区及其周边村庄的脆弱性情况和恢复过程，这些村庄构成了一个仍然以农业为主的地区中心蓬勃发展的旅游热点。结合定量家庭调查和遥感数据，开发了定量脆弱性模型。该模型描述并详细说明了脆弱性的情况以及导致该地区恢复的因素。特别是对家庭生计的间接影响，例如基础设施中断或收入损失，对恢复时间产生负面影响。家庭接受的外部帮助甚至对其恢复期的持续时间产生了延伸的影响。
The 2004 tsunami devastated large areas in the southern part of Thailand. This paper takes a particular look at the circumstances of vulnerability and the process of recovery in the area of Khao Lak and its surrounding villages, which constitute a booming tourist hotspot at the centre of a region that is still dominated by agriculture. A quantitative vulnerability model was developed, integrating a quantitative household survey and remote sensing data. This model describes and specifies the circumstances of vulnerability and the factors leading to a recovery of the area. Indirect effects on the livelihood of households in particular, such as the disruption of infrastructure or the loss of income, show a negative effect on the recovery time. External help received by the households even shows an extending influence on the duration of their recovery period.
