Key features of the pandemic and infection control requirements, including limits on travel, self-isolation, quarantine, and social (physical) distancing measures, have led to major disruption on the entire function of the individual, household, village, city, country, and the whole world at present and all kinds of mobility. The catastrophic event has also severely affected the teaching-learning process as all kinds of educational institutions have been shut down since the onset of this wave of the virus. Obviously, all kinds of research in every discipline are severely disrupted by this pandemic. Being a social science and field-based subject, the effect of the pandemic can be found in Geography. The field-based geographical research has been affected by the fear of infection and lockdowns amid the COVID-19 pandemic. In this circumstance, the aim of this international webinar is to explore the alternatives to manage the pandemic situation and carry out the research smoothly in geography as well as other allied disciplines. The webinar would also likely find out the future management strategies of research in demography, economy, livelihood, tourism, environmental sustainability, etc. in the post- pandemic normal situation for which we are eagerly waiting.
