Additionally, it was intended to visualize the relative vulnerability of different unions in GIS environment. Place of Study: Dacope Upazila of Khulna district comprising an area of 991.57 km2, bounded by Batiaghata upazila on the north, Pasur river on the south, Rampal and Mongla upazilas on the east, Paikgachha and Koyra upazilas on the west. Methodology: Integrated assessment approach was used to determine the union level climate change vulnerability. 100 households from 9 unions of the study area were taken for survey. The vulnerability determined in this study was calculated from exposure, sensitivity and adaptive capacity.

  • Situation Assessment Report in S-W Coastal Region of Bangladesh
    Livelihood Adaptation to Climate Change Project (BGD/01/004/01/99) SITUATION ASSESSMENT REPORT IN S-W COASTAL REGION OF BANGLADESH (JUNE, 2009) Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) Department of Agricultural Extension (DAE) Acknowledgements The present study on livelihoods adaptation was conducted under the project Livelihood Adaptation to Climate Change, project phase-II (LACC-II), a sub-component of the Comprehensive Disaster Management Programme (CDMP), funded by UNDP, EU and DFID which is being implemented by the Department of Agricultural Extension (DAE) with technical support of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), UN. The Project Management Unit is especially thankful to Dr Stephan Baas, Lead Technical Advisor (Environment, Climate Change and Bioenergy Division (NRC), FAO, Rome) and Dr Ramasamy Selvaraju, Environment Officer (NRC Division, FAO, Rome) for their overall technical guidance and highly proactive initiatives. The final document and the development of the project outputs are direct results of their valuable insights received on a regular basis. The inputs in the form of valuable information provided by Field Officers (Monitoring) of four coastal Upazilas proved very useful in compiling the report. The reports of the upazilas are very informative and well presented. In the course of the study, the discussions with a number of DAE officials at central and field level were found insightful. In devising the fieldwork the useful contributions from the DAE field offices in four study upazilas and in district offices of Khulna and Pirojpur was significant. The cooperation with the responsible SAAOs in four upazilas was also highly useful. The finalization of the study report has benefited from the valuable inputs, comments and suggestions received from various agencies such as DAE, Climate Change Cell, SRDI (Central and Regional offices), and others.

About 11% people are wage labour Economics and Occupation profile of district population: The local economy of this district is dependent on agriculture and Fishing. The main occupation of the population is agriculture. More than 25% people live on agriculture while about 11% people are wage labour. In years with particular negative weather conditions – Cyclone, tidal surge, Flash flood, water logging, cold spells are created unemployment in addition to seasonal. In this context of vulnerability, seasonal food insecurity manifests itself in all three of its dimensions: availability; access and utilization. As this is disaster prone area most of Upazila, Union, and villages are situated in the very remote/isolated area. So the people from remote places cannot easily access the services from Upazila and District town. Administration:

The benefits of proposed coal fired power plant of Rampal is very poor (S+19) than that of negative irreversible impact (-81). So the proposed area is not suitable to establish the coal based power plant as the Sundarbans and surrounding areas would be affected permanently by establishing the proposed coal power plant.

  • 5 Brackish-Water Shrimp Cultivation Threatens Permanent Damage to Coastal Agriculture in Bangladesh
    5 Brackish-water Shrimp Cultivation Threatens Permanent Damage to Coastal Agriculture in Bangladesh Md. Rezaul Karim Urban and Rural Planning Discipline, Khulna University, Khulna, Bangladesh, e-mail: [email protected] Abstract Over the past 20 years, brackish-water shrimp cultivation in the coastal zone of Bangladesh has con- tributed increasingly to the national economy, but there is a lack of quantitative data on the effects of shrimp farming at the household and community levels. This chapter investigates the impact of shrimp cultivation on the environment and farmers’ livelihood in a typical subdistrict of the coastal zone in Bangladesh. The variables involved with shrimp cultivation and their impact on the land are also taken into consideration and an attempt is made to analyse the patterns of land-use change that occurred between 1975 and 1999. The extensive pattern of shrimp cultivation is achieved by expansion of area rather than by intensification. The expansion of shrimp farming has resulted in decreases in crop produc- tion and many environmental problems in the form of a shortage of livestock fodder, fuel scarcity and decreases in traditional labour forces. Under the present circumstances, shrimp cultivation is no doubt beneficial for a selected group of people, but it has negatively affected the livelihoods of landless and marginal farmers, making it difficult for them to survive in the area. Introduction Bagerhat), is one of the most promising areas for shrimp cultivation for two major reasons The Bangladesh coastal zone (Fig. 5.1) is a sig- (MOFL, 1997; Karim and Shah, 2001): first, its nificant maritime habitat of ecologically rich fresh- and saltwater resources are abundant and economically important natural resources.

  • Systematic Study of Cyclone Aila Recovery Efforts in Koyra, Bangladesh Highlighting the Possible Contribution to Vulnerability Reduction
    自然災害科学 J. JSNDS 36 特別号 109 -121（2017） Systematic Study of Cyclone Aila Recovery Efforts in Koyra, Bangladesh Highlighting the Possible Contribution to Vulnerability Reduction Md Shibly SADIK1, Hajime NAKAGAWA2, Md. Rezaur RAHMAN3, Rajib SHAW4, 5 6 7 Kenji KAWAIKE , Kumiko FUJITA , and S. M. Tariqul ISLAM Systematic Study of Cyclone Aila Recovery Efforts in Koyra, Bangladesh Highlighting the Possible Contribution to Vulnerability Reduction 1 2 3 Md Shibly SADIK , Hajime NAKAGAWA , Md. Rezaur RAHMAN , 4 5 6 7 Rajib SHAW , Kenji KAWAIKE , Kumiko FUJITA , and S. M. Tariqul ISLAM Abstract Cyclone Aila struck Bangladesh in 2009. Disaster managers and researchers agree that the pre-Aila vulnerabilities of the affected areas were the major reasons for the devastating damage and prolonged suffering caused by the cyclone. Since the cyclone hit, a large number of humanitarian organizations and different government departments have been working on post-cyclone recovery. This study systematically investigated the Aila recovery mechanism, taking Koyra Upazila as a case study area. Through a process of institutional surveys, expert interviews, and focus group discussions with local people, this study examined the implemented recovery measures in the context of pre- Aila vulnerability reduction. One of the findings is that the present NGO coordination mechanism does not ensure coordinated recovery efforts at the local level. Another finding is that, the adopted recovery measures are mostly low to moderate contributors to vulnerability reduction. The community was afraid that a cyclone similar to Aila would cause severe damage in the future. This study advocates long- term viable measures to eliminate the root causes of pre-disaster vulnerabilities.
