Impact of Structural Development Projects on Vulnerability of Coastal Communities to Disaster
IMPACT OF STRUCTURAL DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS ON VULNERABILITY OF COASTAL COMMUNITIES TO DISASTER Mohammad Aminur Rahman Master in Disaster Management; Bachelor of Urban and Regional Planning Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Civil Engineering and Built Environment Science and Engineering Faculty Queensland University of Technology 2019 Keywords Bangladesh, southwest coastal region, Khulna, Satkhira, Coastal Embankment Project (CEP), development, disaster management, polder, political ecology, social- ecological system, shrimp, sustainable development, transformation, vulnerability, water resources development. Impact of Structural Development Projects on Vulnerability of Coastal Communities to Disaster i Abstract Initiated in the early 1960s, the Coastal Embankment Project (CEP) in Bangladesh brought more than 1.2 million hectares of low-elevation coastal land under cultivation through a complex system of embankments and drainage sluices. A major milestone in the history of water resources management in Bangladesh, CEP served as a catalyst for socio-economic development of the coastal community over the following decades. However, there were some unintended negative consequences too. Human intervention into complex hydro-geo-morphological settings of the Gangetic Delta manifested a number of social and ecological challenges. As the embankments had cut off the tidal plains from the rivers, silt started to be deposited on the riverbeds which eventually caused drainage congestion inside the polders (the island-like embanked landmasses). Meanwhile, significant changes of landuse occurred as saltwater shrimp farming took over traditional crop cultivation. Increased global demand of shrimp encouraged people to take up shrimp farming instead of crops but they soon realized that the trade-off was unjustified. -
The Example of Friendship, a Bangladeshi Organisation
2nd Issue – May 2016 p. 112-135 New models of working and partnership in development: the example of Friendship, a Bangladeshi organisation Runa Khan • Friendship Founded by Runa Khan, Friendship began its activities in 2002 with a floating-hospital to ensure access to health care for ultra-poor communities in Bangladesh. Since then, Friendship has extended its intervention to create what is a fully integrated development model and an innovative development model that is geared to engaging communities, and strengthening their resilience and dignity. Today it is developing its network internationally through entities established in Europe. Its approach is observed with curiosity and interest by other development actors. angladesh is one of the most fertile countries in the world, but also one of the most vulnerable. The country is indeed literally stuck between the Himalayas and its melting glaciers, and with its 600 rivers, it makes it the second biggest delta in the world. This B makes it the most exposed region to rising seas. Nearly a third of the country is susceptible to tidal inundation and 70% is flooded every year during heavy monsoons. This situation strongly affects the ecosystems and the exploitation of the already restricted natural resources. It is also one of the poorest countries in the world and, with a population of 160 million, the most densely populated (it is one fourth of France in size, with more than three times the population of this country). Therefore, the question of resilience of the communities becomes crucial. According to the Government of Bangladesh, 20 million people may be displaced by 2050 because of climate change. -
Exploring Implementation Gaps Between Policy and Practice for Disaster Management in Bangladesh
IDRiM (2016) 6 (2) ISSN: 2185-8322 DOI10.5595/idrim.2016.0181 Journal of Integrated Disaster Risk Management Original paper Exploring Implementation Gaps between Policy and Practice for Disaster Management in Bangladesh Tofayel Ahmed1*, Haruna Moroto2, Maiko Sakamoto2, Akiko Matsuyama3 Received: 31/03/2016 / Accepted: 08/02/2017 / Published online: 011/03/2017 Abstract There has been much effort to formulate a national plan for improved and effective disaster management in Bangladesh, all of which have used strategies matching international charters and declarations. However, whether such a policy has been adequately implemented into practice at the community level is a major concern. The purpose of this study is to explore the gaps in implementation between what is instructed at the policy level and what takes place on the ground. The authors have reviewed relevant literature, conducted focus-group discussions with individuals in disaster-risk and disaster-affected areas, interviewed professionals from international non-governmental organizations (INGO) of mainstreaming disaster management activities, prepared a Geographic Information System (GIS) map of non-governmental organizations (NGO) and INGO implementation areas, and conducted interviews with member secretaries and members of local disaster-management committees at Cyclone Komen affected areas. Results showed that knowledge and coordination gaps, the functionality of the disaster management committee, monitoring systems, and invalid and unreliable data were the major drawbacks for further achievement in disaster management. In this conclusion, we suggested the urgent tasks for improvement of the present disaster management (DM) systems: building capacity of disaster management committees at local level; making them accountable; and encouraging other organizations/institutions who contribute to reduce death toll and damage from disasters. -

With the support funded* of the Ministry of Disaster Management and Relief (MoDMR), the humanitarian community conducted a Joint Needs Assessment (JNA). Among the 28 districts affected by the floods, 92% the JNA report identified nine (9) most severely affected districts: Jamalpur, Kurigram, gap Gaibandha, Sylhet, Sirajganj, Tangail, Sunamganj, Bogura, Bandarban. In those districts, 85% of the overall displacement occurred equivalent to 261,499 persons including 57,406 school-age children (29,407 boys and 28,002 girls).
