In the 21st century, health has become a key priority in national development goals worldwide. Since gaining independence in 1971, Bangladesh has significantly advanced its health sector, with substantial government investment leading to visible improvements, including in previously neglected rural areas. Still, Bangladesh faces challenges in extending healthcare services to remote islands/char lands. To comply with…
Cyclone Shelters (CS) stand as widely acknowledged infrastructure, predominantly established through collaborative efforts of governmental bodies and international organizations. In response to the destructive impacts of cyclones, the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) has spearheaded the construction of several CS in the coastal regions of Bangladesh. This empirical study delves into the operational effectiveness of…
The geomorphology of the coastal islands of the northern Bay of Bengal is complex and dynamic in nature. During contemporary times, the geomorphology of coastal islands has been severely influenced by rising sea levels, imposing environmental stress on natural systems. Coastal island progradation and landscape loss scenarios exhibit complex behavior and are influenced by natural…
Abstract: Coastal morphological change and landscape dynamics have been creating a new window for taking immediate sustainable management strategies for coastal resources management. The dynamic nature of coastal morphological response includes erosion/accretion of landmass, development of an island by sedimentation, movement of the island, and change in geometry and shape. The objectives of the study…

Abstract: This paper tries to identify the risk acceptance of humanitarian crisis response associated with the Rohingya influx into Bangladesh. Myanmar government’s oppression at Rakhine state triggered Rohingya people to flee to Bangladesh to save their lives. While Bangladesh is a densely populated small country, she welcomed Rohingyas considering the humanitarian ground. This study analyzed…
Abstract: People in Bangladesh have been experiencing a harsh economic reality since the advent of COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020. The marginal people have been the worst sufferers of the pandemic with regards to their socioeconomic aspects. This study aimed at investigating the socioeconomic conditions of the maidservants in Dhaka City who have fallen into…
Abstract: The study focuses on life and livelihood of the street vendors in Dhaka City during the COVID-19 pandemic. This is an empirical study based on observation and in-depth interview. Thirteen street vendors were purposively selected and interviewed by using semi-structured questions. The fieldwork of the study has been conducted at the New Market area…
Abstract: Disaster assessment is quite complicated considering the nature of the disaster and methodological ambiguity generated due to different guidelines of different institutions. This study analyzed various available techniques and, after that, proposed a model to estimate both direct and indirect losses with a single equation. The study used multidisciplinary tools and techniques to assess…
Abstract: This paper tries to explore the spatial patterns of lightning disaster death susceptibility in Bangladesh. It is prior need to identify the factors of death due to lightning hazard, seasonal variability, and spatial risks to develop management strategies of this country. To reach the study goal, lightning fatalities data were collected from the Ministry…
Abstract: Arial Khan River is right bank distributary of Ganges-Padma River systems flowing southwest region of Bangladesh. It is morphologically very dynamic meandering river: where the delta-building process is more active than other distributaries of Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna (GBM) River basin. This study analyzes, morphological variables- channel length, valley length, channel area and channel patterns of Arial…
Abstract: The present research introduces hydro-morphometric modeling to assess flood hazard vulnerability in old Brahmaputra River Basin in Bangladesh. Hydro-morphometric modeling is a spatial analysis in a GIS environment that has been applied for the estimation of flood hazard vulnerability. In this study the developed methodology processes information of seven parameters namely basin, flow accumulation,…
