INTRODUCTION 1.1. Background Roads and Highways Department is responsible for the construction and maintenance of the major road network of Bangladesh. The mission of the Roads and Highways Department is to provide safe, cost effective roads and bridges. To construct safe, cost effective roads and bridges, Engineering Soil Map may play important role as planning tool. If we have appropriate information regarding soils of Bangladesh, we can plan design and construct roads and bridges economically and provide safety during construction. To prepare an Engineering Soil Map of Bangladesh, it needs both time and manpower. Thus the Engineering Soil Map of whole Bangladesh cannot be made all at once. It is a continuous process and has to be made in phase. BRRL has prepared Engineering soil map of 49 districts of Bangladesh. As a part of the continuous process in financial year 2016-2017, an initiative has been taken to complete mapping

  • Cropping Pattern, Intensity and Diversity in Dhaka Region
    Bangladesh Rice J. 21 (2) : 123-141, 2017 Cropping Pattern, Intensity and Diversity in Dhaka Region N Parvin1*, A Khatun1, M K Quais1 and M Nasim1 ABSTRACT Sustainable crop production in Bangladesh through improvement of cropping intensity and crop diversity in rice based cropping system is regarded as increasingly important in national issues. Planning of agricultural development largely depends on the authentic, reliable and comprehensive statistics of the existing cropping patterns, cropping intensity and crop diversity of a particular area, which will provide guideline to our policy makers, researchers, extensionists and development workers. The study was conducted over all 46 upazilas of Dhaka agricultural region in 2015 using pretested semi-structured questionnaire with a view to document the existing cropping patterns, cropping intensity and crop diversity in the region. From the present study, it was observed that about 48.27% net cropped area (NCA) is covered by exclusive rice cropping systems whereas deep water rice occupied about 16.57% of the regional NCA. The most dominant cropping pattern Boro−Fallow−T. Aman alone occupied about 22.59% of net cropped area (NCA) with its distribution over 32 upazilas out of 46. The second largest area was covered by single Boro cropping pattern, which was spread over 44 upazilas. Total number of cropping patterns was observed 164. The highest number of cropping pattern was identified 35 in Tangail sadar and Dhamrai upazila of Dhaka district and the lowest was seven in Bandar of Narayanganj and Palash of Narsingdi district. The lowest crop diversity index (CDI) was reported as 0.70 in Dhamrai followed by 0.72 in Monohardi of Narsingdi.

This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract This study revealed land use/cover change of Manikganj Sadar Upazila concerning with urbaniza- tion of Dhaka city. The study area also offers better residential opportunity and food support for Dhaka city. The major focus of this study is to find out the spatial and temporal changes of land use/cover and its effects on urbanization while Dhaka city is an independent variable. For analyz- ing land use/cover change GIS and remote sensing technique were used. The maps showed that, between 1989 and 2009 built-up areas increased approximately +12%, while agricultural land decreased −7%, water bodies decreased about −2% and bare land decreased about −2%. The sig- nificant change in agriculture land use is observed in the south-eastern and north eastern site of the city because of nearest distance and better transportation facilities with Dhaka city. This study will contribute to the both the development of sustainable urban land use planning decisions and also for forecasting possible future changes in growth patterns.
