Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) model and GIS was used to understand the associations between COVID-19 infection rate as a dependent variable and 17 independent variables of air pollution, geo-meteorological and social parameters using a set of tem...

Rapid expansion of the urban area is one of the major obstacles for the consistent development of the cities in Bangladesh. Increasing population, unplanned urbanization process and conversion of bare forest land to human settlement creates significant adverse impacts on the sustainable environment and ecosystem. A sustainable urban design always r...

Dhaka city is experiencing rapid urbanization with high economic growth and industrial development. Instead of taking a variety of poverty mitigation and social safety programs, the overall number of people living in the informal urban settlements is increasing at a faster rate than the urban population due to the growing figure of internally displ...

River Bank erosion is one of the silent disasters in Bangladesh and occurs randomly along the major river systems. In the present study river bank erosion along the left bank of the mighty Padma River in the Charghat and Bagha Upazilas of Rajshahi District has been assessed using temporal Landsat imageries and socioeconomic approaches. Remote sensi...

The Chalan Beel is one of the largest wetland in Bangladesh that has been experiencing adverse impacts on its water bodies due to rapid urban development and other anthropogenic interventions. Three Upazilas of Natore District were considered for the study to interpret spatio-temporal changes in water coverage and wetland using multi-temporal Lands...
