Urbanisation is transforming this region and its hill groups’ spatial practices. The result is a situation where the cultural identity of these hill groups and their settlement forms are undergoing deep transformations. This study is an attempt to identify the recurrent built form types and settlement morphology of the hill groups. The research examines the spatial patterns of the hill settlements in relation to urbanisation and its effects on place making. This research is based on morphological approach, using a combination of both quantitative and qualitative methods. The discourse on transformation, from traditional to modern urban environment as well as the loss of traditional building typologies, is timely for the CHT region and central in the debate within the urban morphology discipline. This research contributes to the knowledge about the settlement types, forms and patterns of the hill groups and their changing spatial practices in relation to urbanisation. The research findings, based on the settlements of diverse culture groups at a cross border region in the uplands of Asia, can be referred to similar contexts. In the general discourse of urban morphology, this research contributes to the cross cultural studies relating to small towns and traditional settlements in Asian context. iiDwellings in the hills: a

Climate change is becoming a threat for agrarian countries like Bangladesh And as agricultural growth is ultimately affected by climatic variation. Despite not contributing to climate Project Coordinators of: degradation, Bangladesh is paying a huge price due to its geographical location. Frequent flooding, Ashika Development Associates, Chandradip Development Society, increased salinity, and rise in sea level is posing a massive threat to the lives and livelihoods of people.

The disaster killed an estimated 160 persons, including 115 persons in Rangamati alone. According to the Chittagong Divisional Health Office Control Room Report, a total of 187 injured persons were admitted in local level hospitals. Approximately 85% of patients were admitted in Rangamati. While landslide related disaster occurs nearly every year, the second highest death toll of 127 deceased persons was recorded in 2007 [Disaster Forum, June 2017]. Monsoon rains caused severe flooding in low-lying areas to significantly damage road and communication infrastructure. Flood water rendered remote communities in Bandarban, Chittagong, and Rangamati districts were inaccessible by road. On June 14th, mudslides in southeast Bangladesh claimed additional lives in Cox's Bazaar and Khagrachari districts to further damage homes and infrastructure.
