  • Housing the Urban Poor: Planning, Business and Politics a Case Study of Duaripara Slum, Dhaka City, Bangladesh
    Housing the Urban Poor: Planning, Business and Politics A Case Study of Duaripara Slum, Dhaka city, Bangladesh Kh. Md. Nahiduzzaman Thesis submitted to the Department of Geography, Faculty of Social Sciences and Technology Management, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), in partial fulfillment of the requirements for Master of Philosophy in Development Studies, specializing in Geography. Norway, May 2006 NTNU Declaration Except where duly acknowledged, I certify that this thesis is my own work under the supervision of Professor Axel Baudouin of the Department of Geography, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Trondheim, Norway Kh. Md. Nahiduzzaman Abstract This study is conducted on Duripara slum of Dhaka city which is one of the fastest growing megalopolis and primate cities not only among the developing but also among the developed countries. The high rate of urbanization has posed a challenging dimension to the central, local govt. and concerned development authority. In Dhaka about 50% of the total urban population is poor and in the urbanization process the poor are the major contributors which can be characterized as urbanization of poverty. In response to the emerging urban problems, the development authority makes plan to solve those problems as well as to manage the urban growth. By focusing on the housing issue for the urban poor in Dhaka Metropolitan Development Plan (DMDP), this study is aimed to find out the distortion between plan and reality through making a connection between such planning practice, political connections and business dealings. Knowledge gained from the reviewed literature, structuration theory, actors oriented approach, controversies of urban growth and theoretical framework were used as interpretative guide for the study.

    A Study on the Relationship of Spatial Planning Aspects in Occurrence of Street Crimes in Dhaka City Nakhara: Journal of Environmental Design and Planning Volume 15, December 2018 A Study on the Relationship of Spatial Planning Aspects in Occurrence of Street Crimes in Dhaka City Urmee Chowdhury* / Ishrat Islam** * Faculty of Architectureand Planning, Ahsanullah University of Science and Technology, Bangladesh Corresponding author: [email protected] ** Faculty of Architecture and Planning, Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology, Bangladesh [email protected] ABSTRACT treet crime, like mugging and vehicle theft, are the significant crime problems in every developing S city of the world. The study area for this research is Dhaka city, which is experiencing an situation of increasing street crime. This research focuses on the relationship between spatial planning and street crimes and tries to recommend different strategies for prevention of crime and violence in the streets of Dhaka city by proposing urban design and infrastructure planning. The study tries to assess the relationship from macro to micro level through different spatial and physical planning components. For the detail level study, four Thana (police station) areas have been selected from Dhaka City Corporation area (DCC) according to their physical layout and other characteristics. In this level, the relationship is studied through the association between spatial layout and different physical planning factors like land use along with some elements of streetscape. Space Syntax methodology was applied to assess the impact of spatial configuration in occurrence of street crime with the selected four study area. In the micro level the study reveals that different types of land use with different design elements lead to change in public activity spaces which have impact on occurrence of street crimes.

  • Urban Poverty and Adaptations of the Poor to Urban Life in Dhaka City, Bangladesh
    Urban poverty and adaptations of the poor to urban life in Dhaka City, Bangladesh Md. Shahadat Hossain BSS (Hons.), MSS A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the School of Sociology and Anthropology at the University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia 2006 DEDICATION To the poor people living in Dhaka slums who have honoured this study through their participation ABSTRACT This thesis explores urban poverty and the adaptations of the urban poor in the slums of the megacity of Dhaka, Bangladesh. It seeks to make a contribution to understanding and analysis of the phenomenon of rapid mass urbanisation in the Third World and its social consequences, the formation of huge urban slums and new forms of urban poverty. Its focus is the analysis of poverty which has been overwhelmingly dominated by economic approaches to the neglect of the social questions arising from poverty. This thesis approaches these social questions through an ‘urban livelihood framework’, arguing that this provides a more comprehensive framework to conceptualise poverty through its inclusion of both material and non-material dimensions. The study is based on primary data collected from slums in Dhaka City. Five hundred poor households were surveyed using a structured questionnaire to investigate the economic activities, expenditure and consumption, access to housing and land, family and social networking and cultural and political integration. The survey data was supplemented by qualitative data collected through fifteen in-depth interviews with poor households. The thesis found that poverty in the slums of Dhaka City was most strongly influenced by recent migration from rural areas, household organisation, participation in the ‘informal’ sector of the economy and access to housing and land.

  • Main Volume Part I : Current Condition
    MAIN VOLUME PART I : CURRENT CONDITION JICA STUDY TEAM Dhaka Urban Transport Network Development Study CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of the Study Dhaka city is the capital of People’s Republic of Bangladesh. Dhaka is located geographically in the center of the eastern sub-region of South Asia, including India (West Bengal, Meghalaya, Assam and Tripura provinces), Nepal, Bhutan and Myanmar. Among these countries and provinces, Nepal, Bhutan, and Meghalaya, Assam and Tripura provinces in India are located in inland and there is no direct accessibility to the ocean. Thus, seaports in Bangladesh, such as Chittagong and Mongla as well as proposed deep sea port of Cox’s Bazaar have a great potential to be international gateway in the sub-region. The Dhaka Metropolitan Area (DMA) has a population of 10.7 million (7.5% of the total population of the country in 2006). Currently the urban transportation in DMA mostly relies on road transport, where car, bus, auto-rickshaw, rickshaw, etc. are coexistent. This creates serious traffic congestion in addition to health hazard caused by the traffic pollution including air pollution. With the national economic growth the urban population will also increase, and at the same time the number of privately owned automobiles will also increase significantly. So, the improvement of urban public transportation system for DMA has become a pressing issue to improve its traffic situation and urban environment. Considering this situation the government of Bangladesh formulated a ‘Strategic Transportation Plan’ (STP) in cooperation with the World Bank in 2005. The implementing agency was Dhaka Transport Corporation Board (DTCB) under the Ministry of Communication.
