“…As a result, many countries such as China, America, Britain, and Italy implemented a wide range of policies, including lockdowns to control human movement strictly and disciplined [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]. This has a significant effect in overcoming pandemic outbreaks quickly so that people can get out of the covid-19 pandemic and gradually start an everyday life [24][25][26].…”

“…It was emphasized that migration-originated higher density urban life also threatens the lives of millions of people (as in COVID-19) by enabling the rapid spread of infectious diseases. It was also stated that the localization of the activity center is important for the effective fight against COVID-19 in the cities affected by the high mortality rates due to the pandemic in Bangladesh and that it is necessary to move the health care facilities away from the center due to the increasing demand for health care services (Das et al, 2021).…”

“…It was emphasized that the decentralization experience differs depending on the conditions of countries, and may lead to negative outcomes unless designed well. Decentralization, which was brought to the agenda again during the pandemic, positively affects effective emergency management during the coronavirus pandemic (Hayran, 2017;Baş and Sur, 2021;Das et al, 2021).…”

It has been reported that the tensions, incoordination and incompatibility between the central and local government, and the disconnection in the institutional capacity in the fight against the COVID-19 epidemic, adversely affected the epidemic management. This study was carried out to evaluate the centralization and decentralization practices in the management of the COVID-19 health crisis in the world within the scope of the literature. With the spread of COVID-19 around the world in 2020, most governments have had to take drastic central measures to reduce the spread of the virus. It was emphasized that the measures taken in most countries in the early stages of the epidemic were not taken in coordination with the local units, causing incompatibilities with the local. As of 2021, due to the different experiences of the local effects of the epidemic during the pandemic process, it has been observed that the measures applied in the countries against the epidemic differ according to the local and regions. Ensuring that coordination and harmony between central government and local government/units are important that is explained by the fact that the local effects of the epidemic are different (infection rate, population density, effectiveness of the measures taken, etc.). During the COVID-19 process, it has been observed that countries have different centralization and decentralization practices suitable for their own conditions. It is reported that the simultaneous and complementary coordination of centralization and decentralization in governance in COVID-19 and similar crises will prevent complexity at management levels and positively affect the effective management of the crisis.

“…Though Bangladesh will need a considerable investment in basic infrastructure, rural development, climate change mitigation and adaptation, etc., recent trends in investment in these sectors are not up to the desired level. However, the lack of integration of SDGs into the national planning process has been identified as a major constraint in achieving the goals (Das et al, 2021).…”

Land use and transport integration has been highlighted as one of the most important policy objectives considering the interrelationship between the two concepts and can be used as a means of planning through intervention. From the standpoint of revealing the interplay, the study's objective is to assess the land use change of Dhaka City Corporation Area and determine its impact on transportation to assist the national policymaking and achieve Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The methodology directed the determination of the land use change from 2010 to 2018, and then the consequent change in traffic flow while the necessary data in this regard were collected from secondary sources. The study shows that mixed-use development generates fewer trips. This is the study's finding in regard to integration among the national policies regarding land use and transport planning. This study is a methodological approach to analyse the impact of land use change on transportation and can be a role model for solving complex urban problems, e.g., traffic congestion by integrating the Land Use-Transport interaction. The study provides a background of the policymakers in their policymaking process, and an integrated policy will enable the nation to fulfil its Sustainable Development Goals.
