Chapter-Vi : Socio-Economic Profile of the Study Area
Chapter-vi : Socio-economic Profile of the Study Area 189---198 Physical feature and socio-historical background Demography Literacy Administrative Unit Transport Communications Socio-economic Profile ofthe Study Area 189 For a proper understanding of the problem, it is essential to briefly refer to an ecological profile of Kushtia district as the values and characteristics of the masses very much depend upon, and are influenced by geographical, economic, social and political background of the area. Physical feature and socio-historical background Kushtia is not an ancient township but one of the eighteen oldest districts in independent Bangladesh. There is no much evidence to know the ancient history of Kushtia. The only tool to be informed about the district what was portrayed through description by different persons based on different regimes in the region governed. Hamilton's Gazetteer has mentioned of Kushtia town and of the fact that the local people called the town Kushtay (Kushte). In Tolemy's map, several little islands have been portrayed under the Ganges basin. These islands are considered as ancient Kushtia. 1 The district was under Natore Zemindar in 1725. Then it was under Rajshahi civil administration of Kanadarnagar Pargana. 2 Later East India Company transferred Kushtia under Jessore district in 1776. It was brought under Pabna district in 1828. Then Mahkuma Administration was established under Kushtia in 1861 and then brought under Nadia district.3 During the British rule, railway connection with Kolkata, capital of British India, established in 1860, made the town an alluring location for mills and factories, including the Jagneshwar Engineering Works (1896), Renwick and Company ( 1904 ), and the Mohini Mills (1919). -

Bangladesh Page 1 of 20 Bangladesh Country Reports on Human Rights Practices - 2007 Released by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor March 11, 2008 Bangladesh is a parliamentary democracy of 150 million citizens. Khaleda Zia, head of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), stepped down as prime minister in October 2006 when her five-year term of office expired and transferred power to a caretaker government that would prepare for general elections scheduled for January 22. On January 11, in the wake of political unrest, President Iajuddin Ahmed, the head of state and then head of the caretaker government, declared a state of emergency and postponed the elections. With support from the military, President Ahmed appointed a new caretaker government led by Fakhruddin Ahmed, the former Bangladesh Bank governor. In July Ahmed announced that elections would be held by the end of 2008, after the implementation of electoral and political reforms. While civilian authorities generally maintained effective control of the security forces, these forces frequently acted independently of government authority. The government's human rights record worsened, in part due to the state of emergency and postponement of elections. The Emergency Powers Rules of 2007 (EPR), imposed by the government in January and effective through year's end, suspended many fundamental rights, including freedom of press, freedom of association, and the right to bail. The anticorruption drive initiated by the government, while greeted with popular support, gave rise to concerns about due process. For most of the year the government banned political activities, although this policy was enforced unevenly. -

So, the aim of this study is to identify the determinants of health status of aged population in Kumarkhali Thana of Kushtia District in Bangladesh. Furthermore, an effort has been made here to fit mathematical model for aged population due to ages. For this, a total number of 250 rural aged populations have been interviewed through a structured questionnaire by purposive sampling technique.

In logistic analysis, it is indicated that the respondent’s sex, type of family, occupation of the family head and suffering any diseases have significant effects for taking treatment on aged population. It is seen that age associated with aged population follow third degree polynomial model explaining more than 99% coefficient of determination. Key words: Aged population, socio-economic variables, logistic regression analysis, polynomial model, Bangladesh. INTRODUCTION Aged population is defined as the group of population aging is expected to accelerate in the coming decades, who belong to the age group of 60 years and more (BAG, mainly because the large cohorts born in 1950s and 2003). -

Municipal Waste Management of Kushtia Municipality: Challenges and Opportunities Md. Abdul Kader1*, Sneha Paul2, Md. Sainur Rahman3, Md. Amanullah Parvez4 and Ranver Ahmed5 1Student, Department of Urban and Regional Planning, Chittagong University of Engineering and Technology, Email: [email protected] 2Student, Department of Urban and Regional Planning, Khulna University of Engineering and Technology, Email: [email protected] 3Student, Department of Urban and Regional Planning, Chittagong University of Engineering and Technology, Email: [email protected] 4Student, Department of Urban and Regional Planning, Chittagong University of Engineering and Technology, Email: [email protected] 5Town Planner, Kushtia Municipality, Kushtia. Email: [email protected] *Corresponding author ABSTRACT Municipal waste management is amongst of those most crucial issues of the world. Nowadays different international organizations i.e. WHO, ISWA etc. are working on introducing waste management system to ensure a better living atmosphere. The waste management system of Bangladesh is not up to the level. Recently, few municipalities have developed their municipal waste management system and Kushtia Municipality is one of them. The municipality owns composting plant where they compost municipal waste and sell into market as organic fertilizers. Though it is a revolutionary work and lot of opportunities are available in comparison with the current scenario of other municipalities in Bangladesh, there are some challenges faced by Kushtia municipal authority. This study aims also to identify the existing weakness and threats on the basis of SWOT analysis. And recommendations based on analysis of the existing scenario will go a long way to solve the problems faced by the authority. More importantly, to satisfy the increasing demand, a new landfill site and two transfer station are proposed. -

Summary SUMMARY 1. OUTLINE OF BANGLADESH (1) LAND AND NATURAL CONDITIONS Bangladesh is located in South Asia and bordered mostly with India except for the short border by Myanmar and the coast line facing Bengal Bay, and occupies about 147,570 km2 of land. The population is 149.8 million persons (2011, Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics: BBS). Topography is characterized by deltaic plains and flood plains formed by the Padoma River, the Jamuna River and the Meghna River originated from the Himalayas. Although most of the land is distributed in the lowlands and the elevation is less than 20 m, the Chittagong Hills appears in the eastern area and mountainous land is distributed in the north eastern area. The climate is classified as a Tropical Monsoon climate zone. The rainy season is from May to October and the dry season is from November to April. The target area of the Project is the western side of the nation where annual precipitation is relatively low, less than 2,000 mm. The highest temperature was observed in April and the highest monthly average temperature is 36.3 degrees Celsius at Chuadanga. The lowest monthly average temperature (9.5 degrees Celsius at Srimangal Upazila in Mauluvibazar) was observed in January. The regional difference of temperature is small. Surface geology consists of the Dupi Tila Formation, the Madhupur Clay and the Alluvial Deposits. The Dupi Tila Formation was deposited in a period from the Pliocene to the Pleistocene and distributed in the hill area. Madhupur Clay accumulated in the Pleistocene and forms the plateau. -
