“…Griffiths et al (2010) also showed that agricultural land decreased to 73.7% between 1990 and 2006 in Dhaka city. Overall, agricultural land decreased 39.94% between 1960 and 2014 in Dhaka city [33]. On the basis of existing spatial studies, the Markov chain model based analysis estimated that the agricultural land conversion to built-up by 26% between 2008 and 2020 in the city [39].…”

“…The Location Quotient method based study estimated that vegetation decreased 66% between 1960 and 2014 [33]. Similarly, the Maximum Value Composite (MVC) technique calculated a loss of 66.87 km 2 area between 1989 and 2009 [82].…”

“…However, the decreasing rate was varied at different spatio-temporal scales. Due to the highly increasing urban area in Dhaka city and periphery, the forest, vegetation and green spaces have found lessening trend since historical period [33,36,79,80]. The green spaces including trees and gardens decreased from 35.7% to 24.1% between 1975 and 2005 in Dhaka city [81].…”

“…This has resulted in high land value and has created a yield management problem [58,59]. In the recent years, Dhaka city and the vicinities of other big cities have shown similar changes; rapidly growing urban areas and contraction of fertile agricultural land [18,33,34].…”

“…Since historical time period, the agricultural land has transforming to non-agricultural land use at different spatio-temporal scales. Clearly, previous research has shown that agricultural land has been primarily transformed into urban land in recent decades [10,22,33,34]. Annually agricultural land was converted to non-agricultural land in different rate within the country.…”

A Synthesis of Studies on Land Use and Land Cover Dynamics during 1930–2015 in Bangladesh

Land use and land cover (LULC) is dynamic and changes in it have important environmental and socio-economic consequences. The pathways and pace of change vary with space and time and are related to the interaction between human activities and biophysical conditions in an area. This study provides a systematic review of the changing status, patterns, and compositions of LULC in Bangladesh on national, regional, and local scales over the past 85 years. The primary LULC classes in Bangladesh are agricultural land, urban and built-up area, forest and vegetation, water bodies, and wetlands. Most of the country is covered with agricultural land, followed by urban areas; the latter has been expanding rapidly in the area surrounding the capital city, Dhaka, especially the southern capital area. Forest cover is mostly concentrated in southeast Bangladesh, the Chittagong district, and the mangrove forests are predominantly located in the southwest, with the Gangetic delta. High population growth, rapid urbanization, and infrastructure development have been directly associated with changing patterns of land use across the country. In recent decades, urban areas and water bodies have been increasing, to the detriment of both forests and agricultural land. Most of the studies reviewed here describe a general trend involving agricultural and forested land being transformed into urban areas.
