As a social geographical researcher as well as a member of a supporting team of JICA’s Capacity Development project on waste management, I sometimes visit Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh. This year, one big surprising thing has occurred. It is the separation of Dhaka city on administrative and manageable base. Although Bangladesh is rapidly changing as mentioned above, it is not so famous and popular among Japanese and still unknown to Japanese. But, if anyone visits Bangladesh, he/she can easily understand the interesting character of culture and people as well as nature. It cannot be denied that most Bangladeshis are pro-Japan and they like Japanese people more, compared at other countries. Bangladesh Environment Network Japan (BENJapan), whose main work is to inform the reality of Bangladesh by not only international conference but also website, is a member of Kitakyushu ESD council. ESD stands for ‘Education for Sustainable Development’. In 2002, United Nations declared to expand varied projects of ESD in Rio+10 international conference held in South Africa. In 2013, Asian-wise international conference on ESD will be held in Kitakyushu. BENJapan, hopefully, will play an important role to make RCE-ESD Asian conference succeeded. For holding ICEAB, BENJapan faces acute financial problem every year. And even having such a severe budget condition, we have decided to hold an international conference every year to construct a bridge between Japan and Bangladesh to promote smooth exchange of human and science. I hope ICEAB2012 will have a good fruit by mutual cooperation of participants and BENJapan members. * This message was from one of the General Chairs of the ICEAB12. GENERAL CHAIRS: Md.

The ICEAB is a platform to share research, ideas, review of various environmental issues of Bangladesh (specifically), Japan and other regions. ICEAB 2012 has a strong working committee from different countries. After rigorous peer-review process and registration, we finally publish 45 full papers (out of 168 submitted papers) in the proceedings from more than 12 countries. I am very glad to inform you that four distinguished Keynote speakers and eleven renowned Invited Speakers will deliver expert talks. I cordially thank all Keynote and Invited speakers for their kind presences. All members of the organizing committee have given their best effort for the conference. I am really grateful to them. I would like to thank especially to the General Chairs – Hiroyuki Miyake, Suehiro Otoma, and Md. Atiqur Rahman Ahad for their relentless efforts. H. Miyake has given splendid efforts for the ICEAB 2012. Ahad has shown extraordinary skill and will in management of the conference; and he was the key person of the conference. My special gratitude goes to Mohammad Riazul Islam (Program Co-chair) for his great support managing the papers and programme update. Abdullah Al-Mahin, Kazi Kamrul Islam, Md. Azizul Moqsud, and Harunur Rashid worked well to manage the review process. Enamul Kabir, Kenji Kurokawa, Shahera Hossain, Mohin Mahtab, Ahmed Boudissa, Yaser Qudaih, and Mohammad Washim worked hard for various management issues throughout the conference commencement and preparation. I would like to thank our valuable volunteers for their supports. Especial thanks to the volunteers (planned and organized by Kenji Kurokawa) who worked hard to arrange Japanese O-cha party and Kimono-wearing programs for the participants. Hope that you will enjoy these traditional Japanese cultures. Thanks to Microsoft Research for allowing us to use the CMT for ICEAB. I thank to the University of Kitakyushu, Kitagata campus for hosting the conference and providing necessary materials; Ms. Seiko Kubo, International Environmental Strategies Division Environment Bureau, Cit of Kitakyushu for providing 1-day bus tour around Kitakyushu and Shimonoseki; the West Japan Industry and Trade Convention Association for bags; and others to help the ICEAB and providing supports. Selected papers will be invited to submit for the International Journal of Environment [IJE], http://benjapan.org/IJE - however, anyone can submit his/her good works for the IJE. I hope that BENJapan & BEN members around the World, and conference participants will work together to make this conference a successful one; and will exchange ideas, make collaboration on research and development, so that more people get benefit from the outcome of the conference. A good effort has been done to organize the conference in a profound manner and for any mistakes, on behalf of the ICEAB 2012, I would like to request you to forgive us; and inform us, so that we can do it better in coming years based on your sincere feedback. Let’s work for a better world, a better environment-friendly world. vi WELCOME MESSAGE Program Co-chair ICEAB 2012 Mohammad Riazul ISLAM Assistant Professor, University of Dhaka,
