“…The incursion of saltwater, rendering homes and property repair insufficient for sustaining livelihoods, compelled many families to seek alternative employment opportunities and safety in relatively secure areas within the sub-districts. This finding resonates with the research conducted by Mustafa et al (2023), which identifies destroyed homes, employment shortages, inadequate lifesustaining facilities, unlivable conditions, and food scarcity as crucial factors driving post-cyclonic migrations.…”

“…This study examines the consequences of Cyclone Aila in 2009, which inflicted significant damage to the coastal areas of Bangladesh that were already prone to cyclones. Severe weather events have led to the displacement of numerous individuals, resulting in the loss of homes and livelihoods (Department of Disaster Management, 2009;IOM, 2009;United Nations Development Programme, 2010;Mustafa et al, 2023). Resettlement in nearby urban areas or cities was the choice of many, while some opted to relocate within the affected districts (Mehedi et al, 2010;Kartiki, 2011;Mustafa et al, 2023).…”

This research focuses on understanding the complex impact of Cyclone Aila on migration decisions, particularly regarding the motivations that compel specific vulnerable populations to remain in their current locations despite severe consequences. It conducts a comparative analysis of migration choices, adaptive strategies and capacities of migrant and non-migrant populations in Bangladesh after the 2009 Cyclone Aila, focusing on the severely affected districts of Satkhira and Khulna. To achieve this, a comprehensive survey of 284 households was conducted, including 130 migrant and 154 non-migrant households. The research utilized statistical techniques, such as frequency distribution, chi-squared tests, and multinomial logistic regression, along with qualitative insights gathered through in-depth interviews and analyzed using NVivo software to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the coping capacities of these households. The findings indicate that the severity of the cyclone experience significantly impacted migration choices, with non-migrant households displaying a firm attachment to their original location because of better economic opportunities, emotional bonds, vibrant social networks, and a higher tolerance for adversity. Migrants are attracted to locales, providing better living conditions, safety, and access to healthcare and education. This research also revealed differences in the adaptive strategies adopted by migrants and non-migrants. Migrants have more options for housing, agriculture, livestock management, food security, health and sanitation, and employment. Most migrant households (47.7%) had high adaptive capacities across various domains, such as food security, housing and shelter, crop production, livestock and poultry rearing, health and sanitation, and livelihood prospects. Non-migrant households had much lower percentages of high adaptive capacity, ranging from 5.3 percent to 9.7 percent. These findings suggest that migration can improve adaptive capacity, especially when responding to weather events, such as Cyclone Aila. Therefore, it is important to create targeted support measures that cater to the unique needs of both migrant and non-migrant households to promote resilience and improve wellbeing during the post-crisis period.

“…The population status indicator exhibits the greatest vulnerability within the physical vulnerability variable, attaining 71% (high vulnerability). Migrants are less vulnerable than indigenous populations (Mustafa et al, 2023;Zhou et al, 2021). The subsequent maximum degree of vulnerability is attributed to the quantity of family members (59%).…”

Climate change is one of the phenomena that affects the condition of coastal communities in their physical, social, and economic aspects. Communities in a coastal area are considered vulnerable because they live in a disaster-prone area. This study aims to examine the classification of physical, social, and economic vulnerability as well as the capacity of coastal communities due to climate change in Tarakan City and to measure the relationship between physical, social, and economic vulnerability and community capacity from disasters due to climate change in Tarakan City. The data used are qualitative and quantitative, with a descriptive approach using the Likert scale method, the Guttman scale, the rating scale, and the Spearman rank correlation test. The results demonstrate that the level of physical vulnerability of the coastal community in Tarakan City was high at 80%, and the socioeconomic vulnerability of the coastal community in Tarakan City was medium at 52% and 52%, respectively. Meanwhile, the level of community capacity is high at 69%. The level of relationship between physical, social, and economic vulnerability and community capacity is very weak.
