  • Seismic Vulnerability of Some Historical Masonry Mosques in Bangladesh
    4th Annual Paper Meet and 1st Civil Engineering Congress, December 22-24, 2011, Dhaka, Bangladesh ISBN: 978-984-33-4363-5 Noor, Amin, Bhuiyan, Chowdhury and Kakoli (eds) www.iebconferences.info Seismic vulnerability of some historical masonry mosques in Bangladesh M.A. Noor Department of Civil Engineering, Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology, Dhaka, Bangladesh M. Kamruzzaman Department of Civil Technology, Chittagong Polytechnic Institute, Chittgong, Bangladesh ABSTRACT: Ancient masonry structures are particularly vulnerable to dynamic actions, especially seismic actions. Although no major earthquakes occur in this country in the last few decades, during the past large earthquakes the masonry structures of this country behaved poorly. This paper presents a contribution to the safety assessment of historical masonry mosques located in different districts of Bangladesh. The approach used here aims at a simple, fast, and low cost procedure suggested by Lourenco and Oliveira based on a sim- plified geometric approach for immediate screening of the large number of mosques at risk. The proposed geometrical indices of monuments are compared with the respective seismic hazard, expressed by the PGA. The objective is to evaluate the possibility of adopting simple indexes related to geometrical data as a first (and very fast) screening technique to define priority for further studies. 1 INTRODUCTION In 1897, an earthquake of magnitude 8.7 caused serious damages to buildings in the northeastern part of India (including Bangladesh) and 1542 people were killed. The epicenter was at 230 kms from Dhaka City. During this earthquake almost all existing masonry structures of Bangladesh were either partially or fully destroyed. Figure 1 presents an isoseismal map showing the area under which the masonry structures were affected (An- sary & Noor 2005).

Abstract: Heritage tourism marketing plays a significant role to attract tourists in heritage destinations. Bangladesh is endowed with historical and archaeological sites. The country has all the potential to be an important heritage destination in the world. Well-planned marketing of these heritage destinations is a primary requirement to attract both foreign and domestic tourists. There are some barriers which can impede successful heritage tourism marketing in Bangladesh. Lack of coordination among stakeholders, insufficient funding and providing less importance to the needs of the tourists can obstruct successful heritage tourism marketing. Developing creative promotional program, coordination among relevant stakeholders, conservation and protection of heritage sites and active participation of both private and public sector are necessary to implement heritage tourism marketing in Bangladesh. Keywords: Bangladesh, Tourism, Heritage Tourism, Heritage tourism marketing, Heritage tourism products. I. Introduction Visiting historical and archaeological sites is a popular tourist activity among tourists in the world. Heritage sites are attractive destinations for visit in almost every country for that reason the importance of heritage tourism is increasing day by day.

  • Terracotta, Stone-Carving and Calligraphic Art of Medieval Bengal: an Aesthetic Treatment
    http://www.bmri.org.uk Terracotta, Stone-Carving and Calligraphic Art of Medieval Bengal: An Aesthetic Treatment. Dr. A K M Yaqub Ali* [Abstract: The architectural edifices of ancient and medieval Bengal are not denuded of ornamental representation in the form of figurative art, floral designs and abstract motifs. Terracotta and stone-carving as an aesthetic art was not unknown in ancient Bengal. The terracotta ornamentations in the Buddhist Viharas and the Hindu temples bear witness to this fact. The stone-carving art profusely worked in the Buddhist and Hindu deities of ancient Bengal attracts the attention of the connoisseurs of art. But the calligraphic art in the truest sense of the term was scarcely noticed on any object of embellishment of ancient-Bengal. On the other hand these three types of ornamental art could satisfactorily be found in the monuments and architectural members of medieval Bengal. Here the time span of medieval Bengal can tentatively be counted from the Muslim conquest at the early 13th to the 3rd quarter of 16th century of the Christian era. In this short paper an attempt has been made to focus on the fascinating points of terracotta, stone-carving and calligraphic variegations with illustrations from the extant examples of the period understudy. Pertinently it may be mentioned here that in most of the cases the interpretations though of mine are based on facts and substantiated by arguments. One may differ with me on some points, and that will be welcoming for further investigation.] The architectural edifices of ancient and medieval Bengal are not denuded of ornamental representation in the form of figurative art, floral designs and abstract motifs.

  • Legislations/ Legal Provision for Cultural Heritage Conservation
    British Journal of Business Design & Education ISSN (Print): 2222-7426, ISSN (Online): 2222-8412 Vol 10 No 02 Effectiveness of Existing Heritage Legislations in Bangladesh M. Mahmud Ali1 and Dr. Ishrat Islam2 Abstract: The Heritage legislations play an important role in identifying, assessing, managing and controlling the heritage areas and edifices and also as a legal backing for implementation and monitoring the heritage sites. The present Heritage legislation is monument centric and limited to 462 identified monuments which were enlisted as protected by Department of Archaeology (DOA). In the absence of effective heritage regulations, the city’s heritage assets are not properly managed resulted in decay, disharmony, lack of architectural and development control, not giving legal status to identified heritage buildings and demolitions, dilapidation of built structures and built urban form, losing the significance of urban design elements, improper management heritage areas and environmental problems. Therefore, there is a need for introducing heritage legislation by bringing an amendment to the Act. Key Words: Legislation, Conservation, Cultural heritage, Department of Archeology 1.0 Introduction: Bangladesh was a part of Ancient Bengal. It has a glorious and rich past historical, cultural heritage and diverse archeological treasure as back as 2000 BC. It has a vast number of heritage monuments and archaeological sites, mostly belonging to the medieval period. Most of the heritages such as stupas, viharas or monasteries, temples, pillars, mosques, roads, forts, tombs, bridges, palaces have still unexplored and unknown. If the buildings and monuments are under the ownership of governments then their physical protection has been properly done. But when it comes to private ownership, the situation becomes pathetic (Hasan, 1971).

  • Awqaf Properties in Bengal Since the Period of Muslim Rule
    Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bangladesh (Hum.), Vol. 65(2), 2020, pp. 103-121 AWQAF PROPERTIES IN BENGAL SINCE THE PERIOD OF MUSLIM RULE Khoundkar Alamgir Abstract Giving immovable properties to charity began in Bengal from the very beginning of Muslim rule in 1204 and mosques, Madrasahs and Khanqahs were established to create a Muslim community. Henceforth, awqaf (plural of waqf) were created in Bengal by the state, noblemen of the community and wealthy individuals. There are various references of Awqaf in archaeological and literary sources. Sian inscription, Birbhum, West Bengal (1221); Sitalmat inscription, Naogaon, Bangladesh (1254); Nayabari inscription, Manikganj (1595); Bara Katra inscription, Dhaka (1642) are incontrovertible evidences of awqaf in Bengal. Sultan Nasiruddin Nusrat Shah (1519-1532) son of Sultan Alauddin Husain Shah (1494-1519) of Bengal established Bagha mosque (1523) of Rajshahi and Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan (16401646 donated lands for the maintenance of the madrasah attached to it. It was a pre- Mughal establishment. Food, lodging and other necessities of the students were fulfilled out of the income of the Waqf property. According to another land grant a mosque, a madrasah and other religious institutions were maintained out of the income of 2,750 bighas of land at Mahi Santosh, Naogaon district, Bangladesh even in the 19th century (in the decaying period). According to sources Lalbagh (at present known as a fort) was originally a waqf property of Nawab Shaista Khan, a Mughal Subadar who ruled Bengal for long 24 years (1664-1688 with a break for one year). Haji Muhammad Mohsin of Hooghly, West Bengal established a large endowment in the Colonial period.
