Vulnerability Assessment to the Natural Disaster in the Coastal Areas of Bangladesh: A Case Study on Cox’s Bazar Paurashava
Bangladesh is recognized as one of the most vulnerable countries to the natural disasternbsp;worldwide. As Bangladesh is densely populated country, it is struggling to benefit itsnbsp;wider population from the current economic growth and social welfare. Different issuesnbsp;like global warming and climate change are putting all the development works into greatnbsp;challenges. In order to overcome these challenges, intensive research on disaster risknbsp;reduction programs are required. This paper works as a basis of such intensive researchnbsp;where socio-economic factors and geographical factors are identified to assess thenbsp;vulnerability of Cox’s Bazar Paurashava and a combined vulnerable index has beennbsp;formulated. The study tried to establish some parameters regarding vulnerability of thenbsp;community of the urban areas of the coastal zone. Different local maps on the basis ofnbsp;social vulnerability, economic vulnerability and physical vulnerability of the area havebeen prepared. This will help to prioritize government and non-government interventionsnbsp;according to the vulnerability category during critical conditions of any disaster period.nbsp;
