Agricultural Land Cover Change in Gazipur, Bangladesh, in Relation to Local Economy Studied Using Landsat Images
Advances in Remote Sensing, 2015, 4, 214-223 Published Online September 2015 in SciRes. http://www.scirp.org/journal/ars http://dx.doi.org/10.4236/ars.2015.43017 Agricultural Land Cover Change in Gazipur, Bangladesh, in Relation to Local Economy Studied Using Landsat Images Tarulata Shapla1,2, Jonggeol Park3, Chiharu Hongo1, Hiroaki Kuze1 1Center for Environmental Remote Sensing, Chiba University, Chiba, Japan 2Department of Agroforestry and Environmental Science, Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka, Bangladesh 3Graduate School of Informatics, Tokyo University of Information Sciences, Chiba, Japan Email: [email protected] Received 17 June 2015; accepted 21 August 2015; published 24 August 2015 Copyright © 2015 by authors and Scientific Research Publishing Inc. This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract Land classification is conducted in Gazipur district, located in the northern neighborhood of Dha- ka, the capital of Bangladesh. Images of bands 1 - 5 and 7 of Landsat 4 - 5 TM and Landsat 7 ETM+ imagery recorded in years 2001, 2005 and 2009 are classified using unsupervised classification with the technique of image segmentation. It is found that during the eight year period, paddy area increased from 30% to 37%, followed by the increase in the homestead (55% to 57%) and urban area (1% to 3%). These changes occurred at the expense of the decrease in forest land cover (14% to 3%). In the category of homestead, the presence of different kinds of vegetation often makes it difficult to separate the category from paddy field, though paddy exhibits accuracy of 93.70% - 99.95%, which is better than the values for other categories. -

AZHARUL ISLAM ⃰, SANZIDA MARZIA, HAFSA JAHAN HIYA Department of Environmental Science Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh, Bangladesh. *Corresponding Authors: MD. AZHARUL ISLAM, Department of Environmental Science Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh, Bangladesh. Abstract: The particulate matter PM2.5 concentrations in the air of Gazipur and Mymensingh city- corporation during February to April, 2019 have been studied. The PM2.5 status and the sources of air pollution in these cities have been investigated. Sampling was done by “SNDWAY SW-825 Laser PM2.5 Detector tester gas monitor Digital Air Quality Monitor. The sampling sites were Joydebpur road, Vogra Bypass Bus Stop, Gazipur Chowrasta Bus stop, Telipara and Salna in Gazipur city-corporation In Mymensingh city-corporation the sampling sites were BAU Campus, Bridge Moor, Chorpara, Town-hall, Bypass Moor Bus stop, respectively. The concentrations of PM2.5 significantly changed with respect to that of previous years. Though Gazipur is a very busy traffic point and Mymensingh is a semi residential area, the concentrations of PM2.5 Gazipur city-corporation has been found higher than that of Mymensingh city- -3 corporation. PM2.5 concentration in the air of Gazipur city-corporation ranged (137.25 - 341.44 µg m ), the -3 -3 highest PM2.5 concentration 282.50 µg m was found in Telipara and the lowest concentration 147.08 µg m -3 -3 was found in Salna, with mean value of 203.68 µg m , while standard deviation was 55.39 µg m . -

Impacts of Climate Variability on Major Food Crops in Selected Agro-Ecosystems of Bangladesh M
Ann.M. G. Bangladesh Miah, M. A. Agric. Rahman, (2016) M. 20(1 M. Rahman & 2) : 61-74 and S. R. Saha ISSN 1025-482X (Print)61 2521-5477 (Online) IMPACTS OF CLIMATE VARIABILITY ON MAJOR FOOD CROPS IN SELECTED AGRO-ECOSYSTEMS OF BANGLADESH M. G. Miah*1, M. A. Rahman1, M. M. Rahman1 and S. R. Saha1 Abstract The agriculture of Bangladesh has been recognized as one of the most vulnerable sectors to the impacts of climate change due to its juxtaposing geographical position. This study examined the nexus between long-term (1960–2014) climate variables with the yield and area of major food crops in selected agro-ecosystems (Gazipur, Comilla, Jessore, and Dinajpur) of Bangladesh. Secondary data from the Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD) were used in analyzing climate variability for all the studied locations. Data of crop yields were collected from the Department of Agricultural Extension (DAE) local offices and respective farmers. Fifty farmers from each site were selected randomly and interviewed to investigate the farmers’ perceptions regarding the climate change phenomenon and its impact on crop production. Results showed the increasing trend of temperatures with time, which became more pronounced in Jessore and Dinajpur. Annual rainfall also revealed an increasing trend in all locations except Comilla. The analyses of Lower Confidence Level (LCL) and Upper Confidence Level (UCL) clearly indicated that the climate in recent years (1990–2014) changed conspicuously compared to that in 30 years ago (1960– 1989). Results of Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) indicated drought intensity, which was distinct in Dinajpur and Jessore. Although area under crop production had declined, yields showed an increasing trend in all locations because of technological advances. -

Introduction Air quality management plans based on knowledge of sources, appropriate air quality standards, accurate air quality data, and effective incentives and enforcement policies is therefore needed to be adopted. At this backdrop, real-time measurements of ambient level pollutants were made at 8 major cities (Namely, Dhaka, Narayangonj, Gazipur, Chittagong, Rajshahi, Khulna, Barisal and Sylhet) of Bangladesh. The data generated will be used to define the nature and severity of pollution in the cities; identify pollution trends in the country; and develop air models and emission inventories. The program encompasses operation of the sampling and monitoring network, and quality assurance activities to ensure the quality of the
