“…The method used the inclusion and integration of spatial, social, and demographic data for addressing water logging problem, make it unique, and will have significant contribution to advance scientific knowledge. Moniruzzaman (2012), Tareq et al (2018), and Awal (2014) conducted several studies on water logging in the south-west coastal region of Bangladesh. Severe flood, frequent cyclone events, tidal river mismanagement, and excessive rainfall were mentioned as reasons for water logging hazard.…”

Water logging is one of the most detrimental phenomena continuing to burden Dhaka dwellers. This study aims to spatio-temporarily identify the water logging hazard zones within Dhaka Metropolitan area and assess the extent of their water logging susceptibility based on informal settlements, built-up areas, and demographical characteristics. The study utilizes integrated geographic information system (GIS)-remote sensing (RS) methods, using the Normalized Difference Vegetation Water and Moisture Index, distance buffer zone from drainage streams, and built-up distributions to identify waterlogged zones with a temporal extent, incorporating social and infrastructural attributes to evaluate water logging effects. These indicators were integrated into an overlay GIS method to measure the vulnerability level across Dhaka city areas. The findings reveal that south and south-western parts of Dhaka were more susceptible to water logging hazards. Almost 35% of Dhaka belongs to the high/very highly vulnerable zone. Greater number of slum households were found within high to very high water logging vulnerable zones and approximately 70% of them are poorly structured. The built-up areas were observed to be increased toward the northern part of Dhaka and were exposed to severe water logging issues. The overall findings reveal the spatio-temporal distribution of the water logging vulnerabilities across the city as well as its impact on the social indicators. An integrated approach is necessary for future development plans to mitigate the risk of water logging.

“…Bangladesh is well known for having a significant risk of floods due to its deltaic physical environment and dense population [78] [102] . Multiple flood threats, including storm surge-induced floods, fluvial-tidal floods, and pluvial floods—inundations brought on by monsoon precipitation are present in the coastal region [103] [104] [59] [105] [106] .…”

Climate change-induced (CCI) calamities have immense negative impacts on coastal fishers’ livelihoods by damaging and losing their household and fishery-related assets. This study aimed to determine household-level economic penalties due to CCI calamities of the coastal fisher and other coastal fishery actors of Bangladesh. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 338 coastal fisher and other coastal fishery actors living in 11 coastal districts using a random sampling technique. Results showed that the males outnumbered females [84.6% vs. 15.4%], with almost all (99.1%) living below the poverty line. Findings also showed that the coastal fisher and other coastal fishery actors had to struggle against at least three (3.12 ± 1.28) CCI catastrophes in the past five years and the yearly estimated household-level or individual partial financial penalties using ECLAC (United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean) methodology of the studied population was around BDT 18,121 (±14,367). CCI incidences such as increased number of disaster found very much significantly associated with domestic asset damage (95% C.I., χ2 = 17.75, p = <0.001) and loss in fisheries (95% C.I., χ2 = 20.72, p= <0.001]. Similarly, medium to high severity of disasters (95% C.I., χ2 = 5.24, p= 0.030) and increased winter cold shock (95% C.I., χ2 = 4.83, p= 0.032) were also significantly associated with the impoverished status of coastal fishers of Bangladesh. Climate-resilient coastal management and livelihood improvement policies implementing by the relevant authorities could reduce impending economic penalties for coastal fishing communities.
