In this paper, we examine two dimensions of social interface as key contributors to spiritual capital in the coastal community of Cox's Bazar in Bangladesh. These include an extended set of interactional networks or meaning-making processes that serve as the base for communal spirituality and a committed sense of personal spiritual calling. Our findings reveal how spiritual capital, which is made up of both organised religious practices and individual spiritual beliefs, brings about a commitment to social responsibility and to the environment and contributes both to community well-being and to the development of sustainable tourism. The value of our work lies not only in its provision of theoretical insights, but also in its potential to inform policy-making activities aimed at the promotion of the sustainable growth of tourism in Cox's Bazar, where concerns and expectations related to the sector remain overlooked.
This paper is an attempt to analyze the consumers’ perception of various types of advertising media and to know which media is preferred most regarding respondents’ age, gender, and occupation. A sample of 150 respondents from different areas of Chittagong city has been surveyed through a structured questionnaire from June to October 2018.Descriptive Statistics, reliability test, SPSS software has been used to analyze and results show that Internet was the first preferred media for all types of respondent and TV was the immediate choice. According to profession analysis, the newspaper has been preferred most by the business person (52.94%), and TV (50%) was the most favorite media for housewives. Media preferences also differ according to age; young has been addicted to the internet (65%) most whereas mid and aged people like TV (80%) and newspaper (20%) most. Regarding their perceptions to all types of media was positive but some negative perception has been found mostly on trust (mean value=3.15), and they don’t think that advertisements present a real picture (mean value= 3.18) of the product being advertised.If the company or advertisers recover the shortcomings by enhancing the genuineness of advertising, consumers perception regarding advertising media will be more positive.
This paper aims to analyze the impact of television commercials on children in Bangladesh. Advertising in and around children's program has a significant influence over their attitudes. The study considers four fundamental attributes that reflect children's attitudes based on literature survey, namely-unnecessary purchasing behavior, nature of food consumption, materialism and violence, upon which there is influence of TV advertising. Based on a survey on 410 parents of children aged from 5 to 10, the research finds strong association among the variables. Results of ordinary least square regression analysis, employed to estimate the responsiveness of the attributes mentioned earlier towards exposure to advertising, exhibit that child's unnecessary purchasing is highly responsive to television advertising followed by low nutritional food consumption, materialism and violence, respectively. Furthermore, the research rejects all the null hypotheses stating the absence of relationship between the attributes and exposure to advertising that asserts the positive influence of television commercials on all of those attributes.
Investment, as an addition to the existing physical stock of capital, contributes to the growth of Bangladesh economy in a decisive way. Therefore, factors that determine the private investment need to be studied in order to frame policies to manage them so as to achieve the desired capital stock for the economy to accomplish the much higher GDP growth objective in coming years. The study, thus, is an attempt to estimate the private investment demand function of Bangladesh. It employees the ARDL bounds testing approach to investigate the relationship between private investment spending and its regressors, namely, real income, rental cost of capital, foreign direct investment and exchange rate relying on data for the period 1980-2017. The study identifies a long-run equilibrium relationship between private investment spending and its determinants. The determinants are found to have conventional signs-while a rise in real income boosts private investment spending, a rise in the rental cost of capital hurts it. While most of the earlier studies compared the relative role of public and private investment in economic growth of Bangladesh, studies on the factors that determine the countries investment spending is very few. Moreover, majority of the studies in the latter group focuses on determinants of gross investment in Bangladesh, while the study focuses on the domestic private investment taking most recent years' data in the sample period.
