Riverbank Erosion in Bangladesh: Impacts on Physical and Societal Vulnerabilities
摘要
Bangladesh suffers from a lack of comprehensive national data, precise figures categorized by villages, union or sub-district, and trends regarding people’s displacement. However, the primary data collection in the most river bank erosion-prone areas of Sirajganj district in Bangladesh is the foundation of this study. This was carried out by conducting a meticulously selected direct interview with 66 individuals from 54 families, including 20 households from urban slums in Dhaka (railway station slums that are affected by river bank erosion), FGDs, KIIS, and case studies. The detailed justification is provided in chapter one. However, this chapter examines the extent to which various issues of risk and vulnerability affect socioeconomically underprivileged IDPs due to riverbank erosion-prone in Bangladesh.
