J. Soil Nature 8(3), 14-20. The purpose of this study is to identify the types of natural disaster and their management in Joypurhat Sadar Upazila. The data was collected from December 2013 to February 2014. A survey was conducted with a sample of 1200 households. A structured questionnaire was used for the purpose of data collection through a two-stage cluster sampling design. In addition, the qualitative data collection methods for this study include the review of various documents of World Vision, and Focus Group Discussion (FGD). In Joypurhat Sadar Upazila, the most severe catastrophe is the cold wave (63.4%) and drought (63.0%) which has an adverse effect on the livelihood of the community people. In Joypurhat Sadar Upazila, 47.2% household members replied that there is no disaster management system. This study also depicts that, only 46.1% household members are informed about the advance warning system of the natural disasters like flood, drought, severe cold and cyclone. So government should take various initiatives and programs to increase the awareness level of the community people on the natural disaster and provide disaster preparedness training. Besides, the role of the communication media in the management of natural disasters needs to be ensured. Key words: World Vision Bangladesh, natural disaster, disaster management INTRODUCTION For the last few years, due to the climate change effects across the world, natural disasters have been rising alarmingly and this issue encompasses great challenges to the livelihood of the human being. The intensity and frequency of natural disasters have been rising considerably worldwide. The greenhouse gases are the resultant of burning fossil fuels whose abatement is difficult and gradual increase of these gases has long term effect on the weather of the earth (FAO 2008). According to IPCC (2007), climate change is happening and is the biggest threat ever faced by the human community”. It was envisaged in the late 1990s that global climatic change could exacerbate some of the physical consequences of natural hazards (Warrick and Ahmad, 1996). The Third Assessment Report of IPCC stated that South Asia is the most vulnerable region of the world to climate change impacts (Mc Carthy et al. 2001). The international community also recognizes that Bangladesh ranks high in the list of most vulnerable countries on earth (Ahmed 2006). The case of Bangladesh is unique in the sense that: unlike other vulnerable island countries, the country will eventually face the multidimensional manifestations of climate change (e.g. flood, cyclone, sea level rise, drainage congestion, salinity, drought etc (World Bank 2000). Due to the geographical location and geomorphologic conditions, Bangladesh is one of the most disaster prone countries in the world. Many researchers (Ahmed and Haque, 2002; Ahmed 2006) have identified a number of hydro-geological and socio-economic factors responsible for Bangladesh’s high vulnerability of climate variability and natural disaster which includes (1) its geographical location in South Asia, (2) its flat deltaic topography with very low elevation, (3) its extreme climatic variability that is governed by monsoon and which results in acute, (4) water distribution over space and time, (5) its high population density and poverty incidence, and (6) the majority of the population being dependent upon crop agriculture. Besides, the recorded impacts of climate change along with other environmental and geomorphologic changes make more concerns over food security especially, for the poor and marginal population (Gregory and Ingram, 2000; Parry et al. 2001; Rosegrant and Cline, 2003). On the other hand, Pervin (2013) stated that the adverse effects of climate change especially high temperature, sea-level rise, is increasing frighteningly and it is considered as one of the most serious threats to the preservation of the environment and to sustainable development. It is, therefore, the highest priority to understand the vulnerability of the natural disaster in terms of the sustainable development. No one can guess about the impending natural hazards and its effects but from the past experiences of many countries, we can learn a lot about the devastating effects of natural disaster at the many levels of society. Various research reports suggest that early warning system can be the most effective means of reducing the damage of natural disaster. Tapscott (1993) stated that early warning must “warn” and be “early” and the arrangement of early warning system must conform without any delay. Walker (1989) also highlighted four main aspects of an efficient early warning system like (i) detecting, evaluating and predicting a hazard, (ii) constructing a forecast or warning message, (iii) spreading the warning message, and (iv) creating appropriate preparedness and mitigating responses. Mainly, early warning system could be a helpful way to save the lives of the vulnerable communities. Disaster Risk Management (DRM) is also a very well-known paradigm in recent times. It aims to reduce disaster- related risks, death, injury and adverse impact on livelihood strategy. According to United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (2009), Disaster risk management aims to avoid, lessen or transfer the adverse effects of hazards through activities and measures for prevention, mitigation and preparedness. The major elements of disaster risk management are risk assessment; prevention; 14 J. Soil Nature 8(3): November 2015 Copyright© 2015 Green Global Foundation www.ggfjournals.com Begum et al. mitigation; preparedness; early warning; evacuation; saving people and livelihoods; immediate assistance; assessing damage and loss (Ramamasy and Baas, 2007). In Bangladesh, at the national and sub-national level, the main disaster management related policies, programs and committees are National Disaster Management council (NDMC), Inter-Ministerial Disaster Management Coordination Committee (IMDMCC), National Disaster Management Advisory Committee (NDMAC), Cyclone Preparedness Program Implementation Board (CPPIB), Disaster Management Training and Public Awareness Building Task Force (DMTATF), District Disaster Management Committee (DDCM), Upazila Disaster Management Committee (UZDMC), Union Disaster Management Committee (UDMC), Pourashava Disaster management Committee (PDMC), City Corporation Disaster management Committee (CCDMC). National Disaster Management Council also endorsed the National Plan for Disaster Management (NPDM) in 2010-2015. In addition, Bangladesh Perspective Plan 2010-2021, Sixth Five Year Plan 2011-2015 and National Sustainable Development Strategy (NSDS) have also given emphasis to implement NPDM (Ministry of Food and Disaster Management, 2010). Besides, international development agencies such as UNDP, DFID, USAID and notable NGOs like the Grameen Bank, Bangladesh Rural Advancement Committee (BRAC), CARE-Bangladesh, OXFAM-Bangladesh, Action Aid, Care International, Caritas Intermediate Technology Development Group-Bangladesh, Bangladesh Disaster Preparedness Center (BDPC) and Disaster Forum are particularly concerned in a variety of pre, during and post- disaster activities. In addition, Community Based Organizations (CBOs) are actively involved in the process of disaster management, and human rights protection. Around the world, World Vision works to protect the well- being of the people especially disaster victims groups. The Humanitarian Emergency Affairs (HEA) ministry of World Vision Bangladesh seeks its community resilience aims to reduce and mitigate through four strategic areas like effective emergency response; community resilience building; organizational resilience building; and quality, accountability and learning (World Vision Bangladesh, 2011). As a result, in the present study, we aimed to assess the management system of the natural disaster and the availability of advance information on the occurring of natural disaster by the World Vision Bangladesh at Joypurhat Sadar Upazila. METHODOLOGY Study area This survey was conducted in Joypurhat Sadar Upazila under Rajshahi division of Bangladesh. There are 146 villages, 76385 households and 14 Mohallas under one Municipality and 4 Unions namely Mohammadabad, Bhadsa, Dogachi and Dhalahar in Joypurhat Sadar Upazila. The total population in this Upazila is 2, 89,058 where the male are 1, 47,096

    THE NATURE AND EXTENT OF HOMICIDE IN BANGLADESH: A CONTENT ANALYSIS ON REPORTS OF MURDER IN DAILY NEWSPAPERS T. M. Abdullah-Al-Fuad June 2016 Department of Sociology University of Dhaka Dhaka University Institutional Repository THE NATURE AND EXTENT OF HOMICIDE IN BANGLADESH: A CONTENT ANALYSIS ON REPORTS OF MURDER IN DAILY NEWSPAPERS T. M. Abdullah-Al-Fuad Reg no. 111 Session: 2011-2012 Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Philosophy June 2016 Department of Sociology University of Dhaka Dhaka University Institutional Repository DEDICATION To my parents and sister Dhaka University Institutional Repository Abstract As homicide is one of the most comparable and accurate indicators for measuring violence, the aim of this study is to improve understanding of criminal violence by providing a wealth of information about where homicide occurs and what is the current nature and trend, what are the socio-demographic characteristics of homicide offender and its victim, about who is most at risk, why they are at risk, what are the relationship between victim and offender and exactly how their lives are taken from them. Additionally, homicide patterns over time shed light on regional differences, especially when looking at long-term trends. The connection between violence, security and development, within the broader context of the rule of law, is an important factor to be considered. Since its impact goes beyond the loss of human life and can create a climate of fear and uncertainty, intentional homicide (and violent crime) is a threat to the population. Homicide data can therefore play an important role in monitoring security and justice.

    JOINT AGENCY RESEARCH REPORT 23 OCTOBER 2013 Customer: ‘Why you asking a higher price? The price has gone down on the global market.’ Stallholder: ‘Then go to the global market. Why have you come to the ’Kawran bazaar?’ Cartoon by Bipul Shah, printed in The Daily Prothom Alo (Bangla daily) BANGLADESH FOOD PRICE REPORT 2012 Life in a Time of Food Price Volatility, Year 1 results ‘Life in a Time of Food Price Volatility’ is a four-year collective research effort that attempts to explore the effects of change in food prices in the lives of the marginal poor. Since 2007, the food, fuel and financial crises throughout the world have caused enormous suffering to marginal people living in poverty who are unable to maintain decent living standards. While media reports provided enough evidence of such suffering, few systematic longitudinal studies have been conducted to help understand the intricacies of how people experience difficulties in maintaining their lifestyles and cope in different ways in an era of food-price volatility. The objectives of the research is to have a clear understanding of the ways in which food-price volatility affects poor people’s lives and how they cope with its effects. More importantly, the study tries to understand how different occupational groups are differently affected due to changes in contexts and opportunities at micro (household), meso (community) and macro (national) levels. www.ids.ac.uk www.oxfam.org Table of contents 1.
