As in many other parts of the world, urban areas South Asian region are increasingly expanding. While cities today heart commercial, technological and social development, they also vulnerable to a variety natural anthropogenic threats. The complex infrastructure, ever-expanding population cities, exacerbate impacts climate change increase risk hazards. Throughout history, various hydrological disasters including floods, tidal surges, droughts, non-hydrological such as earthquakes,...
South Asian countries face a disproportionate impact from disasters due to their unique topography, poverty, low literacy rates, and socio-economic status. Human activities, such as unplanned urbanization poorly designed rural road networks, have further contributed in the region. The article explores potential of nature-based solutions (NbS) means addressing these challenges through integration green, blue, grey infrastructure. analysis evaluates significance NbS examines policies regional...
Community perceptions of flood resilience hinge upon translation impressions events and built environment, which thereby influence a community's ability to resist, cope with recover from adverse impacts flooding. Particularly in developing countries, NGOs, often collaboration communities, design fund non‐traditional structural measures enhance community resilience. This study examines the Haor region Bangladesh, where communities live on constructed islands, reinforced by mitigation...
Purpose Enhancing community flood resilience is a critical aspect of risk management that requires systematic process capacity building through incorporating mitigation measures. The inhabitants South Rishipara, riverside settlement Bangladesh, are accommodating themselves in flood-prone location modifying their built environment. purpose this study to conduct detailed investigation regarding the environment development and find out roles different actors contributing factors for enhancing...
Abstract The concept of ‘re-naturing cities’ promotes nature-based solutions for sustainable urban design; one those being water-centric development with networks blue (water bodies) and green (vegetation areas) aims to generate areas that support economic growth, strengthen social cohesion, restore degraded ecosystems. Projects get implemented revitalizing water bodies multifunctional areas. This context demands study projects evaluating the success in terms achieving goals. research...
Purpose Mud architecture as one of the expressions vernacular illustrates success indigenous knowledge traditional communities. Due to pressure industrialization, urbanization and globalization, trend using non-traditional measures guided by Western-Euro-centric technologies considers practices backward past, under-development poverty. Though mud a building material is usually assumed fragile ephemeral that cannot survive against natural hazards, surviving buildings are needed be...
Abstract Non‐governmental organizations (NGOs), governmental organizations, or other entities may run their projects as external interventions within a community to reduce disaster risks and adapt future climatic events. These influence the take further adaptation measures for enhancing resilience. The spontaneous process, referring responsive adaptation, needs be identified acknowledged. This research aims investigate impacts of on process by studying riverside flood‐prone urban slum in...
ABSTRACT Nature-based solutions (NBS) often suggest improving the degraded urban environment through implementation of projects for revitalizing water bodies and adjacent areas. Among various concepts developing waterfront spaces, ‘water sensitive design (WSUD)’ asks integrated management resources cycle, following a holistic approach. This research proposes framework that assimilates components WSUD with concept ‘integrated (IUWM)’ mainly focuses on governance, management, stakeholders'...
Purpose In an urban environment, different types of actors (individuals, households, community groups, institutions, governmental organizations, nongovernmental organizations (NGO), community-based (CBO) and public private etc.) play critical roles in enhancing resilience to adapt the impacts climate change. To identify prioritize aspects planning, this study aims examine potential change on diverse systems evaluate capacities various climatic stress. Design/methodology/approach This...
Purpose Urban areas, especially in the coastal region of Bangladesh, face environmental degradation due to rapid urbanization, uncontrolled socio-economic activities and experiencing adverse impacts climate change. Nature-based solutions (NbS) as options for restoring, preserving, maintaining elevating natural features or systems are becoming popular reducing vulnerabilities caused either by hazards human-induced activities. With this understanding, study aims explore need practicing NbS...
