  • ERR) Mongla Economic Zone
    Environment Review Report (ERR) Mongla Economic Zone. Introduction : The Bangladesh Economic Zone Authority (BEZA) is an agency of the Government of Bangladesh (GoB) and is administered out of the Prime Minister's Office. The GoB is in the process of creation of Economic Zones (EZ) across the country for both export and local market oriented industries based on the cluster principle of the collection of industries, brought together geographically for the purpose of promoting economic development. Mongla Economic Zopne in Bagerhat is one of them. Drawing from numerous successful examples from around the world as well as Bangladesh‟s own positive experience with the EPZ model, GoB has launce an effort to develop a new EZ paradigm for Bangladesh based on good economic and social practices in their operation and commercial principles in their development and management. In doing so, the GoB is seeking to leverage its own resources through public-private partnership in the financing, developing, management and servicing of EZs. A key objective of EZs is to stimulate efficient use of skilled labor, land, infrastructure, energy and other resources as well as to facilitate backward, horizontal and forward linkage with local industries. It is expected that the EZs will trigger a significant flow of foreign and domestic investment leading to generation of an additional economic activity and creation of employment opportunities. The overall objective of the project is to develop BEZA in to a fully functional organization equipped with the rules and regulations needed to develop zones that will facilitate growth in investment in the emerging manufacturing and services sectors of the economy with the aim of generating employment.

Erosion The Meghna river banks suffer from erosion problems annually, mostly in the monsoon and post monsoon periods. As the transmission line will not have any impact on erosion, a further detailed analysis of erosion was not required for the project. Flooding Flooding situation of the study area is very nominal. The local people informed that, only the historical flash flood occurred in the year of 1988, 1998 and 2004. Flooding of 1988 and 1998 severely affected almost the entire study area. The duration of 1988 and 1998 flood was around 1-1.5 months with flood level of 6-7 ft.

  • Housing the Urban Poor: Planning, Business and Politics a Case Study of Duaripara Slum, Dhaka City, Bangladesh
    Housing the Urban Poor: Planning, Business and Politics A Case Study of Duaripara Slum, Dhaka city, Bangladesh Kh. Md. Nahiduzzaman Thesis submitted to the Department of Geography, Faculty of Social Sciences and Technology Management, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), in partial fulfillment of the requirements for Master of Philosophy in Development Studies, specializing in Geography. Norway, May 2006 NTNU Declaration Except where duly acknowledged, I certify that this thesis is my own work under the supervision of Professor Axel Baudouin of the Department of Geography, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Trondheim, Norway Kh. Md. Nahiduzzaman Abstract This study is conducted on Duripara slum of Dhaka city which is one of the fastest growing megalopolis and primate cities not only among the developing but also among the developed countries. The high rate of urbanization has posed a challenging dimension to the central, local govt. and concerned development authority. In Dhaka about 50% of the total urban population is poor and in the urbanization process the poor are the major contributors which can be characterized as urbanization of poverty. In response to the emerging urban problems, the development authority makes plan to solve those problems as well as to manage the urban growth. By focusing on the housing issue for the urban poor in Dhaka Metropolitan Development Plan (DMDP), this study is aimed to find out the distortion between plan and reality through making a connection between such planning practice, political connections and business dealings. Knowledge gained from the reviewed literature, structuration theory, actors oriented approach, controversies of urban growth and theoretical framework were used as interpretative guide for the study.
