Building resilience is a widely endorsed strategy for managing the growing risks of climate-related disasters around world. Given this backdrop and considering evolution concepts, we developed conceptual framework conducting assessment in coastal region Bangladesh. To encompass wide spectrum concepts ranging from resistance to retrieval conversion, viewed as an integrated function stability, recoverability, transformability. A set thirty context-specific indicators were organized these three major components. Their aggregation, first into sub-indices then composite index, allowed spatial mapping its key components across Chattogram, Barguna, Khulna, identified most resilient districts whereas Gopalganj, Narail, Lakshmipur, Chandpur least . Notably, proximity coast exposure multiple hazards didn't preclude higher resilience, which testament underlying assumption that vulnerability are not inversely related. Furthermore, our factors can inform evidence-based decision-making enhancing country offer valuable input evolving frameworks other developing countries

Abstract Bangladesh is extremely vulnerable to sea-level rise and other climate-induced extreme events, such as flooding, storm surge, salinity intrusion. The south-western coastal region of particularly intrusion caused by cyclone induced surges floods. Salinity endanger land productivity increasing both soil surface water salinity. Detailed risk assessment using spatial mapping approach can contribute mitigating the effects on natural capital environment. In this study, we established evaluated a multi-criteria for levels areas impacts field data geospatial techniques at local scale. We viability proposed Khulna District, major city saline prone area in Bangladesh. considered three components (i.e. vulnerability, exposure hazard) with 16 relevant criteria study. For each criterion, an Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) was used build weight raster map layers. Individual maps component were generated weighted sum technique, lastly, created combining those. Our correctly identified dimensions well very-high very-low). outcomes our study suggest that southern (east west) parts are mostly susceptible due higher surge impacts, lower elevation, use patterns than parts. validate findings qualitative quantitative approach. believe novel would be useful create policymakers stakeholders could potentially evaluate risks posed flood regions elsewhere similar geo-climatic context.

Abstract The coastal regions of Bangladesh are highly vulnerable to climate change. Crop intensification and diversification in these areas lower than other parts the country due change multiple stress environments. With factors, high rainfall variability is one that impact agricultural production productivity. current study investigates on crop region Bangladesh. Based historical data (1980-2020) six weather stations, this examines onset (ON) withdrawal (WD) monsoon precipitation by forward backward accumulation technique probability dry wet spells utilizing Markov Chain (MC) model. average ON WD were found at 21st‒22nd 43rd‒44th standard meteorological weeks (SMWs), respectively for all stations. Extreme events have increased recent periods (2001–2020) compared earlier (1981–2000) months (Jun-Oct), potentially contributing recurrent flash floods waterlogging time. probabilities elevated early (1st‒17th SMWs) late (43rd‒52nd year. region's higher likelihood (18th–42nd experiencing ranges from 40‒100%. We also analyzed effect aus (pre-monsoon rice) production, which has great potential area. Additionally, frequency return extreme different thresholds during (Nov-Apr) assess risks cultivating rabi/non-rice crops evaluate potentiality rabi crops. might delay sowing crops adverse effects, particularly their maturity phases.

The frequency and severity of climate change are projected to increase, leading more disasters, increased built environment system (BES) vulnerability, decreased coping capacity. Achieving resilience objectives in the is challenging requires collaboration all relevant sectors professionals. In this study, various stakeholders were engaged, including governmental authorities, regulatory bodies, engineering firms, professionals, contractors, non-governmental non-profit organizations (NGOs NPOs, respectively). engagement was carried out through answering a questionnaire survey that reflects their perceptions about adaptation, qualities (RQs), degree existing perceived capacities. results analyzed using several statistical tests. revealed advancing public understanding management tools, reducing economic losses, developing necessary plans still require improvement. Additionally, BESs ranked concerning accepting uncertainty inherited from past or generated over time. This study emphasized perception decision-making domain crucial for delivering reflective environment. features such as Furthermore, there belief importance task forces within community part an emergency response plan, less would have recovery speed. Therefore, rapidity characteristic environmental accept time correlated system’s reflectivity quality. emphasizes significant correlation between different RQ traits. It also encourages researchers formulate objective methods reach set form measuring RQs standard.

Climate-related disasters have become a major threat to human civilization. Since many climatic hazards cannot be prevented, recognizing the underlying factors that render societies more vulnerable might facilitate pragmatic measures for minimizing likelihood of disasters. With this impulse, current study developed an innovative framework appraising various societal attributes, interplay which potentially adds vulnerabilities coastal region Bangladesh. In our study, we harnessed notion sensitivity used in disaster discourse and proposed five domains namely demographic setback, inadequacy basic resources, economic marginality, socio-cultural impediments fragility policy governance, based on conceptual adaptation prior social vulnerability frameworks. A total thirty-five context-specific variables were consolidated under these domains. To determine weights variables, popular Analytical Hierarchical Process (AHP) technique was applied. Respective summed up with appropriate generate subindices eventually integrated using additive (averaging) approach develop composite index nineteen districts.
