Abstract
In this section, the effect of land subsidence in urban area is presented on the example of the Bangkok area. In Section “The Effect of Land Subsidence in Urban Areas: The Bangkok Area”, the different aspects of land subsidence are presented for the Bangkok area. Monitoring of soil settlements, determination of the causes, legal aspects are fundamental subjects of soil subsidence in urban areas.
