Background, Socio-economic condition, Disaster vulnerability, Hard-to-reach areas 1.1 Background Southkhali is a Union of Sarankhola Upazila under Bagerhat district. The Union was established before 1948 and at that time Bangladesh was under British rule. The union is situated on the last part of south of the Country and south side of this union is vacant that means ‘khali’ (Bengali name), perhaps this is why the name of the Union is Southkhali. It is 25 km away towards the south from Sarankhola Upazila head quarter and 100 km from district HQ. The road communication from the District HQ to the union head quarter is very poor and it takes 4.00 hours by Bus if the ferry over the river Panguchi at Morelgonj is available. From Upazila HQ to UP Office the road communication is also very poor and by bus it takes almost about 1.25 hours. Mr. Md. Mozammel Hossen Howlader is the chairman of this union and he has been performing the responsibility as UP chairman for the last four years. The UP complex is located near Tafalbari bazaar of Tafalbari village which is in ward # 03. Total area of the union is 9036 Acres/ 36.70 sq. Km. The total population of the Union is 24,980 in 6179 households (Census 2011), and population density is 998 persons per Sq Km. Around 94.74% of the population of this union is Muslim and 05.26% is Hindus. Being situate by the bank of the Bay of Bangle this Union is a highly disaster prone area and always at the risk of Cyclone and tidal surge. 1.2 Socio-economic condition: Like other rural areas of Bagerhat district more than 70% (approx. by UP representatives) people have been living below poverty line. Main occupations of the population are agriculture, day labourer, fishing and honey collection from the Sundraban forest. The main crops are paddy, Dal/Kalai (varieties of lentils) and vegetable. Agriculture and fishing are considered as major livelihood; children are also engaged in these activities. They are deprived from their rights which are the main concern for their education. There is no Government and private Bank but there is one big and three small village markets in the Union. There are brac, CODEC, RIC, Muslim AID and some others NGOs who are engaged in micro–credit/financing program. Being affected by the natural disasters almost regularly the overall socio-economic condition of the people of community is poor. The union has 502 ponds, 4 bazzers, 20 GPS, 13 secondary Schools, 2Madrasas, 1 Collage, 1 health sub centre, 4 CC, 6 Orphanages, 71Mosques, 7 Temples, 1 Cooperative club, 2 Cultural Club, 2 Public libraries, 25 Cyclone Shelters etc. 4 | P a g e 1.3 Geography: The union is situated in the last part of south of Bagerhat district. It is bounded on the north by Rayenda union, on the east by the Baleshar River, on the south by the Sundrabans and the Bay of Bangle and on the west by Bhola River and the Sundraban. 1.4 Disaster/Vulnérabilités: Southkhali union is very close to the Bay of Bangle so it is a highly disaster prone area, always under threat of Cyclone attack and tidal surge. Moreover the Bhola River has crossed from the west and the big River Baleshar has flown through the east of DRR Mock drill Southkhali Girls School Field the union. The embankment is in a poor shape, some portions of the embankment were washed out during the disaster SIDR in 2007 and afterwards by the disaster AILA which onset on 25 May’ 2009. Cyclone and tidal waves used to hit the Union almost every year and affects the people, damages their houses and crops and increases their sufferings which make them poor/ultra-poor. There are 25 Cyclone shelters with the capacity of only 8750 persons but for saving their cattle they do not have any earthen killa (Fort). Cyclone Preparedness Programme (CPP) is active here for a long time basically on cyclone preparedness and early warning system. The Union have 10 trained and well equip volunteer units (male-100 and female 50). There are also an active “Union Disaster Management Committee” and they regularly organized disaster preparedness activities to aware the community people as well as reduce the vulnerability. 1.5 Hard-to-Reach Areas, villages and communities: The union itself a hart to reach area. After arrival at union there is no hard to reach area. Internal communication is almost good in dry season but in the rainy season it is very difficult to pass through the muddy road. There are 3 km carpeting road, 7 km brick soling road, 30 km embankment and 78 km earthen road in the Union. Motor cycle and Rickshaw-van is usually used as vehicle within the union. Sometimes people has to face difficulty to get health service especially ANC service for the long distance in between FWC, CC and community.

  • Local Government and Rural Development in the Bengal Sundarbans: an Inquiry in Managing Common Property Resources 1
    Agriculture and Human Values 7, 2 (Spring 1990), 40-51. Local Government and Rural Development in the Bengal Sundarbans: An Inquiry in Managing Common Property Resources 1 Harry W. Blair Harry Blair is professor of political science at Bucknell University, and has held appointments at Colgate, Cornell, Columbia and Yale Universities, as well as at the United States Agency for International Development. He has conducted academic research and has served as a consultant in South Asia for more than 20 years, focusing on rural development policy, natural resource management and decentralization. In the subcontinent, his primary geographical concentration has been on Bangladesh and, within India, on Maharashtra and Bihar. ABSTRACT Of the three strategies available for managing common property resources (CPR)--centralized control, privatization and local management-this essay focuses on the last, which has proven quite effective in various settings throughout the Third World, with the key to success being local ability to control access to the resource. The major factors at issue in the Sundarbans situation are: historically external pressure on theforest; currently dense population in adjacent areas; a land distribution even more unequal than the norm in Bangladesh; and a decentralized local government structure initiated in the mid-1980s. The first three factors have encouraged the local population to view this CRP as a frontier to be exploited, rather than as a resource to be preserved for sustained yield. Thus to the extent that the new local government structure proves to be democratic and responsive to popular needs, it would most likely accelerate destruction of the Sundarbans, using the area as a cheap and easy way to provide some livelihood to the rural poor and landless.

  • Delineating the Service Area Of
    J. Asiat. Soc. Bangladesh, Sci. 44(2): 137-148, December 2018 DELINEATING THE SERVICE AREA OF CYCLONE SHELTER AND VULNERABLE HOUSEHOLDS USING NETWORK ANALYST TOOL: A CASE STUDY ON SOUTHKHALI UNION OF BAGERHAT DISTRICT, BANGLADESH KHANDAKER TANVIR HOSSAIN* AND MD. HAFIZUR RAHMAN Department of Geography and Environment, Jagannath University, Dhaka-1100, Bangladesh Abstract In Southkhali Union of Bagerhat district in Bangladesh about 47% of the total population is living beyond the service area of cyclone shelters (CS) not only for the carrying capacity of CS but also for the accessibility. Location-allocation tool of Network Analyst tool in ArcGIS determined the service area of each CS in the study area based on its shelter capacity and accessibility. People residing outside the service area of cyclone shelter are highly vulnerable due to low elevation of land and poor housing structure. The location-allocation tool of Network Analyst provided the proper evacuation plan that would identify the shelter location for each household or cluster of population and the evacuation route also. It would also help to find the proper location to build new shelters for unserved community. Key words: Accessibility, Network analysis, Service area, Vulnerable households, Location- allocation tool Introduction Bangladesh is the sixth most disaster prone countries of the world where 97.7% of the total population of 97.1% area are at risk of multiple natural calamities including cyclones (World Bank 2015). Cyclone and storm surge are the most devastating among all the disasters in Bangladesh which devastates lives and properties in coastal areas. Geographic location, the unique natural setting of the country and its tropical monsoon climate make the country more vulnerable to cyclones and storm surges (Paul 2009).

  • Comprehensive Report on IWD Celebration 2021
    “Women in leadership: Achieving an equal future in a COVID-19 world.” A Report On International Women’s Day, 2021, Celebration National Girl Child Advocacy Forum (NGCAF) Background: To uphold women’s rights and to ensure their empowerment, International Women’s Day has been being celebrated since 1910. In the mean time, significant development of women has taken place; but at the same time they are facing a lot of problems. There still presence gender discrimination and violence. Real women empowerment is not taking place in Bangladesh due to male dominated society and space for equity. Women participation in social sector, especially in political and economical sectors, is still low. Due to absence of social justice, women are being victims of child marriage, rape and sexual harassment etc. According to the findings from 2019 Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS) child marriage still remains widely accepted by 51.4 per cent of women aged 20-24 years who married first before their 18th birthday. Also15.5 per cent of women first married before their 15th birthday. The high rate of child marriage continues to cast a negative spell on the educational and physical wellbeing of girl children in Bangladesh. Government of the Bangladesh is also giving emphasis on women empowerment. In this concern national women development policy-2011 and prevention of women and child repression Act-2003 (Amendment-2020) including gender friendly laws and orders have been formulated in the last recent years. Despite taking these initiatives, women have to fight for their rights still. In order to achieve SDGs, gender equity and women participation in decision making process is must.

    THE NATURE AND EXTENT OF HOMICIDE IN BANGLADESH: A CONTENT ANALYSIS ON REPORTS OF MURDER IN DAILY NEWSPAPERS T. M. Abdullah-Al-Fuad June 2016 Department of Sociology University of Dhaka Dhaka University Institutional Repository THE NATURE AND EXTENT OF HOMICIDE IN BANGLADESH: A CONTENT ANALYSIS ON REPORTS OF MURDER IN DAILY NEWSPAPERS T. M. Abdullah-Al-Fuad Reg no. 111 Session: 2011-2012 Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Philosophy June 2016 Department of Sociology University of Dhaka Dhaka University Institutional Repository DEDICATION To my parents and sister Dhaka University Institutional Repository Abstract As homicide is one of the most comparable and accurate indicators for measuring violence, the aim of this study is to improve understanding of criminal violence by providing a wealth of information about where homicide occurs and what is the current nature and trend, what are the socio-demographic characteristics of homicide offender and its victim, about who is most at risk, why they are at risk, what are the relationship between victim and offender and exactly how their lives are taken from them. Additionally, homicide patterns over time shed light on regional differences, especially when looking at long-term trends. The connection between violence, security and development, within the broader context of the rule of law, is an important factor to be considered. Since its impact goes beyond the loss of human life and can create a climate of fear and uncertainty, intentional homicide (and violent crime) is a threat to the population. Homicide data can therefore play an important role in monitoring security and justice.
