  • Determinants of Religious Tourism: an Empirical Investigation
    Journal of Business Studies, Vol. XL, No. 3, December 2019 Determinants of Religious Tourism: An Empirical Investigation Prosanjit Saha* Biplab Roy** Abstract: Religious tourism presumably the oldest form of tourism in which the tourists search for tranquility and sacred experience. Despite having promising faith centers in different parts of Bangladesh, religious tourism receives little research attention. Owing to inadequate understanding and precise portrayal of religious tourism’s products, domestic travelers often exclude religious attractions out of their usual year round itinerary. This study aims to identify major determinants for developing religious tourism in a credible way to the travelers. Through snowball sampling, 100 respondents who visited at least once to any religious sites was surveyed face to face. Descriptive statistics portrayed the demographic profile of the respondents and Regression analysis explored the influence of each determinant. The results make contribution by suggesting that unique branding and communicating religious values through social media promotion determine the success of religious tourism. Moreover, the study offered some managerial implications to develop Bangladesh as an attractive religious tourism hub. Keywords: Religious Tourism, Unique and consistent branding, interpreting religious values, sustainable policies, innovative promotion. Introduction Tourism is now considered as one of the most dominant sectors in the world consisting multifarious forms and diverse nature. One of the most sensible and prevalent forms of tourism is religious tourism. It can be defined as travel with the core motive of experiencing religious forms, or the products they induce, like art, culture, traditions and architecture. According to the Ministry of Tourism of Brazil (MTUR) (2010), “Religious Tourism is the set of tourism activities arising from the spiritual quest and religious practice in places and in events related to institutional religions, regardless of creed or ethnic origin”.

  • Obituary Professor Dr Abul Khair Muhammad Siddiq
    Obituary Professor Dr Abul Khair Muhammad Siddiq (1923-2018) It is difficult for one to write an obituary of a person who had been one's teacher, colleague, friend, philosopher and guide. The person was no other than the celebrated gentleman physicist Professor Dr Abul Khair Muhammad Siddiq commonly known as A.K.M.Siddiq who had an eventful long life and had witnessed many developments in Physics in the Curzon Hall starting from the golden days of S. N. Bose of whom he was a student. Prof Siddiq produced dozens of very successful physicists who have been highly placed in different stations in Academic and Administrative Fields. And he always tried to be in touch with them as far as possible. My interactions with Prof Siddiq have been in several fields: as a student, as a colleague and finally as a family friend. I first met him in the mid 60's when I registered myself for Physics Studies in the Dhaka University (1956-1960). I still remember the day when Dr Siddiq entered our class for the first time as a young smart teacher on return from Saskachuan University, Canada where he obtained his Ph.D in Nuclear Physics. We learnt later that his first appointment in life was not as a university lecturer but as an officer first in the Patent Office in Calcutta (now Kolkata) and then after the partition of India in1947 in the Patent Office in Karachi in Pakistan. He did not relish this job as his heart and mind had always been craving for research and teaching.

  • DEPARTMENT of BOTANY University of Dhaka Dhaka-1000 BACHELOR of SCIENCE with HONOURS (BS HONS) and MS DEGREE PROGRAM in BOTANY 1
    DEPARTMENT OF BOTANY University of Dhaka Dhaka-1000 BACHELOR OF SCIENCE WITH HONOURS (BS HONS) AND MS DEGREE PROGRAM IN BOTANY 1. Introduction The Department of Botany was established as Biology Department under the University of Dhaka in 1939 by the active leadership of Professor Panchanan Maheshwari. At that time, the department consisted of Botany and Zoology and the students were enrolled under BSc pass degree program. The students of the then Bengal Agriculture Institute (At present, Sher-e-Bangla Agriculture University, Sher-e-Bangla Nagar, Dhaka-1207) were also taught for the BSc pass degree in the same Biology Department. At the beginning, the department was housed in the neighboring Chemistry Department, situated in the Curzon Hall Campus of the University of Dhaka. The department was later on shifted to the present building. In 1948, the first MSc program in Botany was started and the first batch of the students were awarded MSc in 1950. Professor Panchanan Maheshwari, the founder head returned to India in 1949 and then Dr. Majeed Ahmd, Reader of Biology, took the charge. Dr. Ahmad left the department in December. 1951. Professor Girija Prashanna Majumdar, Professor of Botany of Presidency College, Calcutta, India was appointed as the Head of the Department. Professor Majumder started BSc (Hons) course in Botany in 1952. Under this new program, tudents of Botany were first awarded BSc (Hons) degree in 1954.

  • Introduction
    PublisherNational Parks: Vegetation, Wildlife and Threats, In Farina, Olmo & Polisciano, Grazia (Ed.), 2010, pp. 193-206, Nova Science Publishers, New York Vegetation analysis and tree population structure of Sal (Shorea robusta C.F. Gaertn) forests: A case study from the Madhupur and Bhawal National Park in Bangladesh Md. Mizanur Rahman1 and Harald Vacik2 Abstract Sal forests are covering 32% of forest land of Bangladesh and are one of the three major forest resources beside the tropical evergreen and coastal forests. The two National Parks Madhupur and Bhawal comprise most of the Sal forests in Bangladesh. This study examined a comparative analysis of plant species richness, pattern of diversity, forest structure and regeneration of the core areas of these two national parks, which are located in the same agro- ecological zone. In total 129 plant species were identified in the Madhupur National Park where, 43 plant species in the Bhawal National Park. The diversity index and evenness for mature trees, saplings, seedlings, shrubs, climbers and herbs were higher in Madhupur, whereas the concentration of dominance was higher in Bhawal National Park. The dominant species, Sal (Shorea robusta) tended to be more dominant over its natural associates in Bhawal compared to Madhupur National Park. The diameter and height class distributions revealed that the Madhupur National Park had a wider range with a mixture of very young to giant trees, where the Bhawal National Park was lacking giant trees. From the results of the study it can be concluded that the core areas of these two National Parks warrant more protection from human interventions.
