Abstract:
This paper aims to assess the earthquake vulnerability of Matijhorna Slum in Chittagong City. Like any other slum, it is a densely populated area with high room density. Chittagong is a hilly region & sometimes earthquake has occurred here though their intensity is not very high. If a large earthquake occurs it will bring immeasurable sufferings especially to the study area as it is vulnerable for landslide occurrence also. The area is not well developed & most of the people are poor to build their living structures strong enough which may resist earthquake occurrence. The vulnerability is assessed using participatory approach as it is the best way to make realize the community how vulnerable they are. Different types of risk factors such as Ground Factor, Secondary Hazards, Demographic Factor, Emergency Preparedness and Structural Factors are considered. Different types of PRA tools and modified PRA tools are used in the study to assess the vulnerability of Earthquake.

Abstract: The present work is concentrated on the landslides which are very common disaster in the Himalayan region. This specific research theme was attempted taking cues from preparation of a landslide inventory, damage assessment, hazard mapping and subsequently risk analysis. Moreover Landslide change detection of two event pre and post Digitized based on visual interpretation over LISS4 image.
Landslide inventory, a catalogue of present and past landslides prepared by comparing pre and post Kedarnath disaster from a high resolution IRSP6 LISS4 image. Multiple landslides are identified and marked along the Mandakini River course in the inventory map. For susceptibility mapping eight data layers viz Geology, Geomorphology, Slope, Aspect, Distance to lineament, Soil type stream order, NDVI and LULC were created from different sources like SRTM DEM (30M), high resolution multispectral image, soil map etc. Then by weighted overlay in which weights are assigned to each layer according to their influence, susceptibility map is prepared. The statistics of the map indicate that 4% of the area is under high susceptible zone.
After that vulnerability and risk assessment analysis was carried out considering agriculture, built-up and road as important elements. According to the obtained vulnerability map only 7% of the area is under high vulnerability zone where most of the built-up and road is concentrated. The final map is the risk map which shows that only 3% of the total area is under high risk zone.

Environmental impact of tourism is a critical issue in the mountain regions around the world. This research aims to study the tourists’ perspective on the environmental pollution about mountain tourism activities in Hunza valley northern mountainous part of Pakistan. The data was collected by a set of questionnaires distributed among 300 foreign tourists, who visited Hunza. Descriptive statistics along with one-way ANOVA was performed to analyze and test the hypotheses. The research outcomes revealed that eco-tourists identified more pollution in terms of human waste and animal litter, sanitation, scattered rubbish, noise pollution and crowding than mountaineers, trekkers and general tourists visiting Hunza. Tourists staying for more than a week felt more pollution than those who stayed in Hunza for less than a week. Furthermore, research revealed that group of more than 6 persons identified more pollution than those travelled in a small travel party size. Results of statistical analysis indicated that there are statistically differences in tourist’s perception of environmental pollution in terms of tourist type, travel party size and length of stay during their sojourn in Hunza. Research concludes that mountaineers and trekkers directly get involved in adventure tourism and spend more days in the mountainous areas but they do not feel environmental impact as they can be part of this degradation some times. On the basis of results, researcher recommends to attract more eco-tourists in the Hunza valley because of their friendly nature towards the environment.

Bangladesh has been achieving remarkable success in economic growth in the last two decades. Does this economic success bring a sustainable and positive result for marginalized people? This study aims to investigate whether the local economic activity positively changes their socioeconomic position. The study reveals that cropland lost on an average of 0.2636 Bigha per household and disappeared 2.59 local fish species in local water bodies. Moreover, more than three-fourth respondents perceived that their access to local ecosystem services is decreasing and the services are degraded. However, more than half of the respondents paid $6.82 each time as a bribe in accessing to local ecosystem services. Combine of these issues is negatively influencing their income, employment opportunity, and household expenditure so that the marginal community becomes more marginalized and wealthier become wealthier. This study may help to find out a new trajectory of sustainable economic activity in the coastal areas with reducing ecosystem services degradation and vulnerability of marginalized people.

The present project study would help in focusing on the hazard risk scenario of the coastal belt of the Kerala State and would make recommendations / suggestions for reducing these risks. It will also emphasize on role of local communities in identification and prevention / control of disaster incidences as well as impacts in these areas.
REDUCING CORRUPTION RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH RESPONSES TO CLIMATE CHALLENGES_En.pdfAzat Irmanov
Abstract
Environmental cataclysms, their increasing frequency and amplitude, as well as their consequences, create huge challenges for the population of all countries in the world without exception. Governments take measures to create systems of early warning, prevention, and prompt response to the challenges of natural disasters by developing and implementing targeted state programs.
However, imperfect public administration mechanisms and, primarily, corruption, pose additional risks of inefficiency, the impact of which can nullify and discredit the implementation of state programs to combat environmental disasters. Speed of decision-making and implementation takes higher priority over standards of transparency, accountability, equal access to information, responsibility, expediency, and cost-effectiveness. The protocols and procedures of operation of public organizations and officials should be developed not only taking into account anti-corruption standards, but also with high moral and ethical standards, because in crisis conditions the quality of public servants’ performance depends more on their commitment to moral and ethical ideals. Simplify the understanding of the high importance of moral and ethical characteristics of a public servant can be achieved through the use of cross-disciplinary models in relation to a particular position of an official.

Interfacing architectural education & disaster managementJIT KUMAR GUPTA
Paper is an attempt to look into the context of manmade dissasters and the role of architectural education in mitigating the losses caused to the built environment
Destruction is integral part of the construction. However, increased incidences of disasters have made cities/planet earth unsafe . Causing colossal destruction/ damages to cities, built environment, economy, infrastructure, human life, social and economic fabric of a society/ area, disasters have emerged as an area of major concern and focus of international, national, state governments and community . Disasters shatter economy, destroy families/social fabric, shatter development programs/resources earmarked for development. Known to have no political boundaries and social/economic considerations, disasters are known to have local / global implications because extent of losses and needs of reconstruction and rehabilitation sometimes exceed the capacity of the impacted country. Considering physical, social, economic, infrastructural, developmental and environmental implications of natural hazards and enormous losses caused to men and materials , United Nation General Assembly decided to name the decade (1990-2000) as the International Decade for Natural Disaster Reduction, for focusing on the global efforts on evolving strategies/solutions/ making efforts for disaster mitigation/minimizing damages. Disaster mitigation and management can’t be the exclusive domain of state, parastatal agencies; it needs to be addressed jointly by all stake holders. Role and importance of architectural planning institutions and education remain critical in making cities/buildings/ environment safe and sustainable. Disaster mitigation/ prevention and accordingly should be made integral part of professional academic/ practice. Architectural/Planning Institutions should be recognized as important coparceners in the process of disaster preparedness and mitigation by creating an effective/efficient institutional network for creating a pool of manpower for planning and designing / making cities safe. These Institutions need empowerment by providing adequate resources/ manpower to play their critical role in developing capacity to create safe, disaster resistant and sustainable cities/ built environment. This will help not only in meeting the agenda defined in SDG11 but would minimize the suffering of the lower strata of economic pyramid.

Solid Waste Management System: A Study on Cox-Bazar PourashavaKazi Mahfuzur Rahman
ABSTRACT
Solid waste management becomes a great problem now-a-days. Rapidly growing population is responsible for producing large amount of solid wastes. To develop an efficient solid waste management system the existing scenario of solid waste of a city should be known which enables to find out the problems happening regarding mismanagement of solid waste within the city. Cox’s Bazar is a well-known tourist spot both in home & abroad. As a tourist spot different types of solid wastes produced everyday by the people living in the city as well as the people coming to visit it. Low collection coverage, unavailable transport services, and lack of suitable treatment, recycling and disposal facilities are responsible for unsatisfactory waste management, leading to water, land and air pollution, and for putting people and the environment at risk. In such a circumstance this study has intended to unfold the institutional dimensions of solid waste management including the types & amount of wastes produced in this city and to identify solid waste management problems. A field survey has conducted to identify the current scenario of solid waste management system in Cox’s Bazar. It helps to identify the problems regarding solid waste management system which helps in this study to give some recommendations to improve the solid waste management system of Cox’s Bazar.

ABSTRACT
In urban area huge amount of poor people leads unsatisfied life. They are deprived from their basic
needs and other facilities. Urban poor is one of the major problem in developing countries. So Urban
Partnership for Poverty Reduction (UPPR) Project is run to reduce the urban poor. This paper has
examined the impact of Urban Partnership for Poverty Reduction (UPPR) Project which is executed
by Local Government Engineering Department (LGED). How this project is run and how much the
poor people is benefited from this project is necessary to identify. To examine the impact of this
project some project area is surveyed and get comparison between their present and past condition.
The data was collected by field survey and the findings show the change of their socio-economic
condition and livelihood pattern.
Identification of appropriate landfill sites for City of ChittagongKazi Mahfuzur Rahman
ABSTRACT
Urban solid waste management is a serious environmental issue confronting the cities in developing countries like Bangladesh. Apathy towards the problem, inadequacy of field level information and data, and resource constraints may be blamed for the dismal situation of solid waste management often visible in our cities. The most common problems associated with the absence of sustainable solid waste management practice include diseases transmission, odour nuisance, atmospheric and water pollution, visual blight, fire hazards and economic losses. In the three major cities of Bangladesh, Dhaka, Chittagong & Khulna, per capita production of solid waste is around 0.4kg /capita / day, but only a fraction of this waste is carried to the final disposal site. A recent study on Municipal Solid Waste Management, funded by Bangladesh Municipal Development Fund (BMDF), found that waste generated in Chittagong was 0.352kg/cap/day. Considering per capita generation of solid waste as 0.352kg to 0.4kg per capita per day, for a population of 25, 92,459 distributed within the 41 wards of the city (BBS 2011), total solid waste generated in Chittagong will be around 913 tons to 1037 tons per day in 2012.
Currently, Chittagong City Corporation has only two dumping yards: one at Ananda Bazar, Halishahar at the mid western part of the city and the other at Arefin Nagar, Pahartali at the northern tip of the city. None of these sites are sanitary landfill. Considering the city area of 168 sq.kms, only two dumping sites are not sufficient to cater to the requirement of the city. Long distances between the collection points and the disposal site are responsible for inefficient utilization of the CCC trucks and the resulting increase in the haulage time that eventually increases the costs of collection and disposal.
This paper aims to identify a number of appropriate landfill sites within the city for cost effective, efficient and safe disposal of solid wastes. An appropriate landfill site must satisfy environmental safety criteria and attributes that will enable the wastes to be isolated so that there is no risk to people and the environment. The criteria utilized for identifying appropriate landfill locations include natural physical characteristics as well as socioeconomic, ecological, engineering and land-use parameters. This study utilized Geographic Information System (GIS) and Multi-Criteria Decision Method (MCDM) for the identification and selection of appropriate landfill sites within the city of Chittagong. Thirteen sites were identified initially. Out of these sites four were found to be most appropriate and suitable for use as landfill. The sites thus identified, if utilized by CCC, are expected to bring a major change, in terms of cost effectiveness, efficiency and safety, in the current scenario of solid waste management in the city.
Determining trip generation of commercial land use of kaptaiKazi Mahfuzur Rahman
Abstract
Trip generation is the first step in the conventional transportation forecasting process. Trip generation rates can
influence the magnitude of the roadway improvements that are constructed like the amount of land that is
required to be dedicated for road’s right-of-way, and calculation of long term maintenance costs of the roadway
network. Therefore, an accurate estimate of vehicle trip generation is required to construct the necessary roadway
infrastructure without overbuilding it. Mohora to Kaptai road is an important and a busy road in Chittagong
because some important commercial buildings, power plants, industries and institutions are situated along this
road. The goal of this paper is to determine trip generation of adjacent commercial land uses of Kaptai Road. To
fulfill the goal, our objectives are to identify the number of trips generation by the adjacent commercial land uses
and to relate trip generation with respect to land use and socio-economic characteristics of Kaptai road. This
study utilizes Geographic Information System (GIS), Questionnaire Survey, Personal Interview and Multiple
Linear Regression Analysis for the trip generation analysis and calculation. Trip generation surveys have
completed at a total of 10 commercial sites, covering five different shopping centers and five different banks at
different important intersection point. The findings have clarified the existing land uses, trip generation situation
with multiple linear regression model and trip rates of commercial land uses.
Critical analysis of planned residential area a study on khulshiKazi Mahfuzur Rahman
Abstract
Chittagong is lack of planning orders which gradually makes this beautiful city so much hazy, inconvenient and
intolerable. On that note Cooperative Housing Society Ltd. built the Khulshi Housing area in 1983. The Planned
Khulshi Housing is a milestone of road to the planning friendly Chittagong city. The present condition, the
transformation of the past, the rule violation, and land use etc. features are vibrant. Every project has some
problems and failures after implementation. The study area is not properly established by the master plan of
1960. Some plots were appointed for slum dwellers but these plots are now confiscated by the higher class
people. Most of the plots are used as the residential purposes but there is no health and educational use in this
study area. There are some negative sides. But the overall condition of the area is very good and environmentally
sound. So the study area is successful as a residential area.
Abstract
Khulna Division with an area of 21643.30 sq km is bounded by Rajshahi division on the north, Bay of Bengal on
the south, Dhaka and Barisal divisions on the east, West Bengal on the west. The Sundarbans is located in this
division covering parts of Satkhira, Bagerhat and Khulna districts. Main occupation is agriculture 39.43%. For
agricultural regionalization, some indicators related to agriculture development are selected based on data
availability in secondary sources. Two techniques are used to attempt Agricultural Regionalization of Khulna.
One is Proportional standardized mean method. It is a simple technique for preparation of composite index.
Another is 0-1 transformation value technique. The result shows that there is only one highly agricultural
developed district, Jessore. Considering on the less developed regions are Narail, Meherpur, Magura. And
moderate developed regions are Chuadanga, Khulna, Bagerhat and lastly developed regions are Kushtia,
Jhenaidah, Satkhira which are falling in these classes of both techniques.

"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50°C at 70°C and between 4.83×10-07 at 9.04×10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.
