During Hilsa fishing, Pangas (Pangasius pangasius), Koral (Lates calcarifer) and Poa (Johnius coitor) were also found to capture as by catch using Chandi jal (set gill net). 85% fishermen were observed to use mechanized (5-40 HP; Horse Power) boats in the study areas. Hilsa fishing was noticed mostly during October-November while such activities was almost absent during February-May (off period) which made fishermen to start migrating temporarily to the nearest urban areas for their livelihood. Although the Government of Bangladesh formulates an act to have fishing license yet 20% of the fishermen were found having valid fishing license in the study areas. Average daily net income of the fishermen during fishing period was 600 BDT whereas their real field daily income through fishing supposed to be 1695 BDT if they are supported by nets, boats, fuels etc., which means almost 64% of their daily income is taken by the aratdars. Therefore, subsidy as a means of nets, boats, fuels, engines etc., might be recommended for the better livelihood of the fishermen in greater Noakhali region. Keywords: Hilsa; Tenualosa ilisha; Livelihood; Lakshmipur; of Lakshmipur district and Subarnachar upazila of Noakhali district Noakhali; Bangladesh are selected as two of the ideal Hilsa fish capture areas for the present research study.

Being an isolated community, fishermen are 23.37% to agricultural sector [1]. Annual fish production was 34,10,254 deprived of many amenities of life mostly in off season. Considering MT in 2012-2013 fiscal year and the production of Hilsa fish is 3.51 the above fact, the present study was carried out to assess the livelihood MT which contributes 11% to the total fish production and 1% to the status of the Hilsa fishermen and the impacts of off season on the socio- national GDP of the country. economic condition of Hilsa fishermen in Lakshmipur and Noakhali Fish is one of the principal dietary ingredients to the people of region of Bangladesh.

This study also identified a complete concatenation from waste collectors to recycling industries in different private sectors. The study revealed that 41% metal, 37% paper, 14% tin and 8% plastic of Sonapur was recycled daily.

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.
