Out of various non-structural measures, on-site rainwater retardation systems based on developer-pay-principle were most effective when tax-generation and governance were particularly weak. This paper aims to verify the applicability of the above-mentioned measures to the rapidly urbanized river basins in Asian countries. Based on such notion, Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) laid a flood-protection master plan in early 1980s to answer for the request from Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA). Herein the authors have made a survey to know how BMA translated the master plan into action so far taking socio-economic and political conditions into due consideration. Plus the authors have tried to discuss with graduate students of Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) to know the applicability of the comprehensive flood-control measures to Asian countries.}, publisher = {Society for Social Management Systems}, title = {Appropriate Flood-Protection Measures under Rapid Urbanization : Applicability of Japan’s Comprehensive Flood Control Measures to Bangkok}, volume = {2}, year = {2006} }
