  • Effects of Flood Mitigation Measure: Lessons from Dhaka Flood Protection Project, Bangladesh
    Vol. 24, No. 6 Asian Profile December, 1996 Effects of Flood Mitigation Measure: Lessons from Dhaka Flood Protection Project, Bangladesh BHUIYAN MONWAR ALAM Research Associate LETECIA N. DAMOLE Research Associate and EBEL WICKRAMANAYAKE Associate Professor Regional & Rural Development Planning Human Settlements Development Program School of Environment, Resources and Development Asian Institute of Technology Bangkok, Thailand Introduction Although, Bangladesh is subjected to perpetual floods every year, she suffered two of the most serious and devastating floods on record in 1987 and 1988 which lasted from later part of August to first part of September. Vast areas of the country including the Capital City of Dhaka with a population of about 4.8 million were flooded to an unprecedented degree with flood levels 1.5 m higher than normal for periods up to four weeks. In Dhaka City, it is estimated that about 200 sq km (77 per cent of the total area of 260 sq km) was submerged to depths ranging from 0.3 m to over 4.5 m (FAP 8B, 1991). About 2.4 million people (50 per cent of the city population) were directly affected by these floods. Conservative estimates of the floods suggest that loss due to annual flood is about TkI 250 milhon, and the damages to a 10-year (return period) flood and a 40-year (return period) flood are Tk 530 million and Tk 750 million, respectively (Bangladesh Water Development Board, Undated). Following the floods of 1988 the Government of Bangladesh (GOB) established a National Flood Protection Committee in October 1988 which proposed to build a system comprising of embankments and flood walls around Dhaka City to protect the intrusion of flood water from the surrounding rivers and drain out the internal water caused by rainfall.

  • Bangkok City Farm Program: Promoting Urban Agriculture Through Networks Roof Garden on Top of Laksi District Office Administration Building Cabannes, 2019
    Food System Planning Case No. 2 March 2021 Bangkok City Farm Program: promoting urban agriculture through networks Roof garden on top of Laksi District Office Administration building Cabannes, 2019 The case study1 has been put together by the Dhaka Food System project, with support by the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and in association with the Bangladesh Institute of Planners. The case studies provide relevant international references to stakeholders, to inform how to best integrate food system considerations into urban planning. Introduction: what is this case about? The Bangkok City Farm Program, publicly funded, has provided support over the last ten years to a broad spectrum of urban agriculture related local activities. Its implementation through a network of partners institutions and coordinated by a lean staffed Thailand Sustainable Agriculture Foundation (http://sathai.org, Thai Language only), has permitted reaching out and supporting hundreds of grassroots, through small financial award, training and awareness raising activities. One of its uniqueness lies in its quite high cost / benefit ratio, high level of efficiency, capacity to raise urban agriculture profile on the city and national agenda and strengthening urban farmers resilience in cases of floods or COVID, facilitating their access to nutritious food. As such, it might be a brilliant example for Bangladesh food champions to consider. 1. Context: Bangkok urban and food challenges Quite Similar to Dhaka where rivers are part of the city life, wealth and threats, Bangkok’ Chao Praya river remains a source of life and nourishment and central to development of agricultural sector. Another aspect shared by both capitals refers to very extremely population density: respectively: inner Bangkok 3662 pp/km2 and 1542 for BMA compared to 28 600 pp/km2 for Dhaka).

  • Bangladesh – Hindus – Awami League – Bengali Language
    Refugee Review Tribunal AUSTRALIA RRT RESEARCH RESPONSE Research Response Number: BGD30821 Country: Bangladesh Date: 8 November 2006 Keywords: Bangladesh – Hindus – Awami League – Bengali language This response was prepared by the Country Research Section of the Refugee Review Tribunal (RRT) after researching publicly accessible information currently available to the RRT within time constraints. This response is not, and does not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular claim to refugee status or asylum. Questions 1. Are Hindus a minority religion in Bangladesh? 2. How are religious minorities, notably Hindus, treated in Bangladesh? 3. Is the Awami League traditionally supported by the Hindus in Bangladesh? 4. Are Hindu supporters of the Awami League discriminated against and if so, by whom? 5. Are there parts of Bangladesh where Hindus enjoy more safety? 6. Is Bengali the language of Bangladeshis? RESPONSE 1. Are Hindus a minority religion in Bangladesh? Hindus constitute approximately 10 percent of the population in Bangladesh making them a religious minority. Sunni Muslims constitute around 88 percent of the population and Buddhists and Christians make up the remainder of the religious minorities. The Hindu minority in Bangladesh has progressively diminished since partition in 1947 from approximately 25 percent of the population to its current 10 percent (US Department of State 2006, International Religious Freedom Report for 2006 – Bangladesh, 15 September – Attachment 1). 2. How are religious minorities, notably Hindus, treated in Bangladesh? In general, minorities in Bangladesh have been consistently mistreated by the government and Islamist extremists. Specific discrimination against the Hindu minority intensified immediately following the 2001 national elections when the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) gained victory with its four-party coalition government, including two Islamic parties.

  • The People's Republic of Bangladesh Project: Dhaka–Chittagong Railway
    Ex-ante Evaluation 1. Name of the Project Country: The People’s Republic of Bangladesh Project: Dhaka–Chittagong Railway Development Project (Loan Agreement: December 11, 2007; Loan Amount: 12,916 million yen; Borrower: The Government of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh) 2. Necessity and Relevance of JBIC’s Assistance 1. Present state and issues facing the railway sector in Bangladesh In Bangladesh, projects in the railway sector require more time and funds to bear fruit than do projects in the road and other sectors. For this and other reasons, the government of Bangladesh has scarcely made any new investments in railway development since independence in the 1970s. Consequently, virtually all railway facilities and equipment now in use were developed during the British colonial period (up to 1947). Indeed, they have become so old and decrepit that they are unable to fully capitalize on the railway’s inherent strengths – massive, rapid, punctual, safe, and environment friendly – resulting in reduced transportation volume, poorer service and a smaller role for the railway in the overall transport sector. In parallel with the robust GDP growth (5–6%) in recent years, demand for freight transportation has steadily increased by 5–6% annually in Bangladesh, showing particularly rapid growth in the demand for transport in the Dhaka–Chittagong section, connecting Dhaka, the capital city and political and economic hub of the country, and Chittagong, the second largest city and industrial hub with the country’s largest seaport. Since 2001, the amount of cargo handled at the port of Chittagong has been increasing by more than 10% annually, but if the port facilities are expanded and enough private companies are attracted to the Export Processing Zone (EPZ), the demand for transport in the Dhaka–Chittagong section can be expected to increase even further.

Amelia Ellis, Zixian Liu, Nushrat Jahan, Purbita Sengupta, and Sabahat Zehra Introduction In the quest of a model city: Why do the state keep repeating failed programs for a slum free city in Dhaka, Bangladesh? Nushrat Jahan • Housing is a key human right according to article 25 of Universal declaration of Human Rights. • Slum dwellers right to housing is not ensured in Megacities like Dhaka • What motivates continued eviction and slum resettlement programs (SRP) in Dhaka？How dispossession and slum interventions are related? What type of narratives contribute to the ongoing Setting the objective dispossession of slum dwellers and changes are taking place? Programs and Interventions in Slums • Eviction (Since 1975 to 2019, more 135 eviction drives have displaced 200000 people ) • Slum improvement programs (SIPs) (early 1980s till early 1990s, total 18 SIPs run by the City, Unicef, ADB, and World Bank ) • Slum resettlement and rehabilitation (4 projects since 1975, latest in 1998 – the Bhashantek rehabilitation project , 15000 units for low income and poor people, none of the projects completed) • Proposed new development 2020 (15000 units for low income people , each unit costing a minimum of 4 million in Bangladeshi Taka ) The Crisis Paradigm of Slum Intervention and Dispossession • Slums are viewed as a serious threat to public health and law and order of the ideal city, and eviction drives are frequently performed by state agencies to remove illegal occupants from public and private land.

Towfiqul Islama* aDepartment of Disaster Management, Begum Rokeya University, Rangpur 5400, Bangladesh Received: 13 June 2019 / Revised: 16 October 2019 / Accepted: 12 January 2020 Abstract Drought risk has become a major threat for sustaining food security in Bangladesh; the particularly northwestern region of Bangladesh. The objective of the study is to assess drought disaster risk on Boro paddy cultivated areas of northwestern Bangladesh using drought disaster risk index (DDRI) model. The sensitivity of Boro paddy to droughts during crop-growing seasons and irrigation recoverability were employed to reflect vulnerability condition. Moreover, the threshold level of the standardized precipitation evapotranspiration index (SPEI) was applied to evaluate the drought hazard on Boro paddy cultivated areas in the northwestern region of Bangladesh. The probability density function (PDF) was used to show the threshold level of drought hazard. The results show that drought hazard is comparatively severe in Ishardi area compared to other northwestern regions of Bangladesh. The drought disaster risk is higher in Ishardi and Rajshahi areas than Rangpur and Dinajpur areas. Although Ishardi area is more prone to high drought risk, at the same time, the recoverability rate is also quicker than any other areas. The relationship between Boro rice yield rates and drought disaster risk is insignificant.

  • 1 Small Area Estimation of Poverty in Rural
    1 Bangladesh Journal of Agricultural Economics, XL 1&2 (2019): 1-16 SMALL AREA ESTIMATION OF POVERTY IN RURAL BANGLADESH Md. Farouq Imam1 Mohammad Amirul Islam1 Md. Akhtarul Alam1* Md. Jamal Hossain1 Sumonkanti Das2 ABSTRACT Poverty is a complex phenomenon and most of the developing countries are struggling to overcome the problem. Small area estimation offers help to allocate resources efficiently to address poverty at lower administrative level. This study used data from Census 2011 and Household Income and Expenditure Survey (HIES)-2010. Using ELL and M-Quantile methods, this study identified Rangpur division as the poorest one where Kurigram is the poorest district. Finally, considering both upper and lower poverty lines this study identified the poverty estimates at upazila level of Rangpur division using ELL and M-Quantile methods. The analyses found that 32% of the households were absolute poor and 19% were extremely poor in rural Bangladesh. Among the upazilas under Rangpur division Rajarhat, Ulipur, Char Rajibpur, Phulbari, Chilmari, Kurigram Sadar, Nageshwari, and Fulchhari Upazilas have been identified as the poorest upazilas. Keywords: Small area, poverty, ELL, M-Quantile methods I. INTRODUCTION Bangladesh is a developing country in the south Asia. According to the recent statistics by Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS, 2017, HIES, 2010) the per capita annual income of Bangladesh is US$1610, estimated Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is 7.28, and the percentage below the poverty line (upper) is 24.30 percent. The population is predominantly rural, with about 70 percent people living in rural areas (HIES, 2016). In Bangladesh, poverty scenario was first surveyed in 1973-1974.
