  • Inventory of LGED Road Network, March 2005, Bangladesh
    The Chief Engineer Local Government Engineering Department PREFACE It is a matter of satisfaction that LGED Road Database has been published through compilation of data that represent all relevant information of rural road network of the country in a structured manner. The Rural Infrastructure Maintenance Management Unit of LGED (former Rural Infrastructure Maintenance Cell) took up the initiative to create a road inventory database in mid nineties to register all of its road assets country-wide with the help of customized software called, Road and Structure Database Management System. The said database was designed to accommodate all relevant information on the road network sequentially and the system was upgraded from time to time to cater the growing needs. In general, the purpose of this database is to use it in planning and management of LGED's rural road network by providing detailed information on roads and structures. In particular, from maintenance point of view this helps to draw up comprehensive maintenance program including rational allocation of fund based on various parameters and physical condition of the road network. According to recent road re-classification, LGED is responsible for construction, development and maintenance of three classes of roads, which has been named as Upazila Road, Union Road and Village Road (category A & B) in association with Local Government Institution. The basic information about these roads like, road name, road type, length, surface type, condition, structure number with span, existing gaps with length, etc. has been made available in the road inventory. Side by side, corresponding spatial data are also provided in the road map comprising this document.

    Bangladesh J. Fish. (2019) 31 (2) : 345-352 Socio-demographic observation of fishing community of the Shari-Goyain River, Bangladesh LUTFUNNESA SHUMI, MRITYUNJOY KUNDA *, AHMED HARUN-AL-RASHID, MST. ARMINA SULTANA AND DEBASISH PANDIT Department of Aquatic Resource Management Sylhet Agricultural University, Sylhet 3100, Bangladesh *Email: [email protected] Abstract. This study was conducted among the residing fishermen of the Shari-Goyain River, Bangladesh to assess the socio-demographic status. The highest percentage (46.25%) of the fishermen belonged to middle age group, and 68.75% were Muslim. Among the respondents 61.25% had nuclear family, 17.50% had no education, 72.50% had access to drinking water from tube-wells and 71.25% lived in earthen houses. Around 93.75% fishermen had homestead land, 56.25% borrowed money from non-government organizations, 75.00% fishermen got Vulnerable Group Feeding (VGF) card from the government. The result of this study shows poor livelihood status of the fishermen with a number of constraints for fishing. To improve the fisheries resources and livelihood status of the fishermen credit facilities and alternative livelihood opportunities should be ensured. Keywords: Socio-demographic status, Livelihood, Fishermen, Shari-Goyain River Introduction Bangladesh is a tropical and densely populated country where around 700 rivers flow with their tributaries (Wazed 1991). These rivers offer enormous scope and potentiality for fish production and economic security of the fishing people who live around these water bodies. This fisheries sector provides full-time or part-time employment to approximately 1.78 million people (DoF 2014). The fishers’ communities are usually poor community in context of Bangladesh.
