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.

  • 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.

  • Consumer Preference for Broiler- a Micro-Level Study in Dhaka District K.T
    J. Bangladesh Agril. Univ. 5(1): 169-176, 2007 ISSN 1810-3030 Consumer preference for broiler- a micro-level study in Dhaka district K.T. Rahman', M.S. Palash2 and M.K. Bepari2 'Department of Agricultural Economics and Rural Sociology, Patuakhali Science and Technology University, Patuakhali 2Department of Cooperation and Marketing, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh-2202, Bangladesh Abstract The objective of this study was to determine how consumers' demographic characteristics affect their broiler purchase decision and consumption. The study based on primary data of 40 consumers of four different occupations like farmer, religious leader, service holder and businessman were purposively selected from different villages of Savar upazila under Dhaka district. Average consumption of broiler per month per person was highest in the families of businessmen followed by that of service holders, religious leaders and farmers. This survey indicated that religious leaders and service holders had more choice on broiler compared with other occupational group. Besides, older people and high income groups dislike broiler than their younger counterpart and lower income people. Most of the consumers liked live broiler for its low price and preferable weight 1.5 — 2.0 kg to them. Finally most of the consumers preferred broiler compared to indigenous poultry for their guest and for social festivals and believed it is suitable for all ages of people and in all seasons. Keywords: Broiler, Consumer preference Introduction Food for human is of plant and animal origin; certain proportions of both plants and animal products are necessary to provide balanced diet for all classes of people. The foods of animal origins are richer than the foods of plant origin.

The high rate of urbanization has caused waterlogging and urban flooding in many parts of Dhaka city. Therefore, the study is Citation: Moniruzzaman, M.; Thakur, undertaken to quantify the changes in land use/land cover (LULC) and urban runoff extent based on P.K.; Kumar, P.; Ashraful Alam, M.; the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Curve Number (CN) during 1978–2018.
