The paper provides a deep insight into the agricultural practices and cropping pattern in Haor basin. Boro-Fallow-Fallow is the dominant cropping pattern in entire Haor basin. The paper also examines the characteristics of flood and its effects on agricultural production. It is found that flash flood severely destroy standing boro rice just before harvesting almost every year. The paper focuses the principle interventions taken by different organizations (Government and Non-government) to secure agriculture based livelihood against flood hazard in Haor areas. Most of the government initiatives were found structural whereas non-structural measures were prioritized by non-government organizations. The paper formulates a framework for sustainable agricultural production in Haor basin.

Cartago City, Costa Rica has observed an increase in the damages and losses due to floods and landslides in recent decades. The city faces a challenge to enhance disaster risk management (DRM) capacity in order to reduce increasing disaster risk. This research identifies factors that enhance local DRM capacity in the context of increasing climate-related events, focusing on the ability of communities that can complement local government's DRM initiative. The study involved 240 household surveys in four high flood risk communities in Cartago and found positive outcomes stemming from communities' perception of global climate change and awareness of local climaterelated disaster risk. Furthermore, the study identified two factors that increase awareness. Despite the communities' higher local climate-related disaster risk awareness, however, the study found that communities take few disaster risk reduction (DRR) actions. Hence, the study identified three factors for promoting greater community DRR action.KEY WORDS: global climate change perception, flood risk awareness, community disaster risk awareness, Costa Rica
