Ashraful; Showkat, Sanjida Abstract: Heat and temperature is on the news of the air in the today's world. High temperatures in urban areas have a direct impact on human health and are associated with heat related problems and excess summer deaths. This study is carried out to know the trend of land surface temperature and assess the impact of land use intensity on temperature in the Chittagong City Corporation Area, Bangladesh. A general linear model was used to estimate surface temperatures using Landsat TM, ETM+ and OLI_TIRS are used in the year 1991, 2003 and 2015 the months of May. Land use and its environmental effects can be quantitatively defined by land-use intensity. In this study, land use intensity metric was improved using a geographic mapping method. The results revealed the temperature increased when the land-use intensity increased via a hierarchical transition owing to forest land reductions of 26.25%, respectively; built-up land increased by 48.45%. The temperature increase was driven more by the external environmental degrades than by land use intensity changes. The temperature response to land-use intensity changes was more sensitive in low altitude areas than in high altitude areas.

Galib; Ishan, Rezaul Bari Abstract: In the introductory chapter that has a general introduction to explain the importance of the issue and its relevance. It contains background of the study and introduction to the problem, objectives, rationale of the study, scope and limitations of the study and organization of the dissertation. It also presents conceptual framework, theoretical perspective and literature review for the research. It also discussed about the current practice of community participation at municipality level in some developing countries of Asia for the better understanding of the practical-aspect. Then it is consists of methodology which is the base of any research work. The methodology possesses three sub-components, namely - study procedure, survey procedure, analytical procedure. Based on these three paramount components the design of the research will developed which includes numerous micro components like selection of topic and study area, development of goals and objectives, analysis of objectives and operational requirements, reconnaissance survey, enlisting of expected data and relevant sources, selection of sampling technique and sampling size, preparation of questionnaire, primary data collection, secondary data collection, processing of the data, data interpretation and analysis, formulation of sustainable scheme. Indeed, this design of research work provides a systemic view of the overall procedure of the research work. In description of the study area, It describes the study area with focusing on demographic and geographic data, socio-economic condition of the study area. This paper also consists of current practices, problems, constraints and potentialities of community participation at municipality. With the help of few case studies in selected areas of Savar Paurashava this chapter compares the presumed result of the regulations and the ground reality. It also assesses the implication of existing regulations on the solid waste management system. It presents major findings from the study regarding to community participation as a tool for improving solid waste management at Savar Paurashava. This paper proposes improving mechanism for community participation as a tool for improving solid waste management system of Savar Paurashava and recommends policies for development upgrade mechanism and provides conclusions of the research. 2019-02-23T00:00:00Z http://103.99.128.19:8080/xmlui/handle/123456789/269 Title: Municipal Waste Management of Kushtia Municipality: Challenges and Opportunities Authors: Kader, Md. Abdul; Paul, Sneha; Rahman, Md. Sainur; Parvez, Md. Amanullah; Ahmed, Ranver Abstract: Municipal waste management is amongst of those most crucial issues of the world. Nowadays different international organizations i.e. WHO, ISWA etc. are working on introducing waste management system to ensure a better living atmosphere. The waste management system of Bangladesh is not up to the level. Recently, few municipalities have developed their municipal waste management system and Kushtia Municipality is one of them. The municipality owns composting plant where they compost municipal waste and sell into market as organic fertilizers. Though it is a revolutionary work and lot of opportunities are available in comparison with the current scenario of other municipalities in Bangladesh, there are some challenges faced by Kushtia municipal authority. This study aims also to identify the existing weakness and threats on the basis of SWOT analysis. And recommendations based on analysis of the existing scenario will go a long way to solve the problems faced by the authority. More importantly, to satisfy the increasing demand, a new landfill site and two transfer station are proposed. Also the shortest path is found by using GIS. 2019-02-23T00:00:00Z http://103.99.128.19:8080/xmlui/handle/123456789/268 Title: ASSESSING THE IMPACT OF FAECAL SLUDGE OF TRAIN TOILET AT CHITTAGONG, BANGLADESH. Authors: Sikdar, Md. Soumik; Tutul, Monishi Roy; Arpa, ZarinTasnim; Hasan, Muhammad Rashidul Abstract: Chittagong is the second largest city of Bangladesh. In the perspective of Bangladesh railway is one of the most important and cost effective transport system. Everyday around 20 trains depart from the station in different directions to different cities or within the city of the country. Thousands of people use this transport system to move from one place to another. As the traditional system of the train of our country is totally open defection. This paper analyze the effect of the existing toilet system of trains in Chittagong. Relevant data was collected from the Chittagong railway authority and from the literature review. It is seen that the traditional toilet system (hopper toilet) is used in all of the train. This type of toilet is not environment friendly as it discharge sludge and urine directly on the rail tracks and pollute the surrounding environment components. It has a serious impact on the human health to the people. To reduce the environmental pollution different countries are already implement different alternative toilet system which have reduced the pollution in a good amount. In respect of Bangladesh considering the feasibility and applicability a different type of toilet system is proposed that can easily be complied with the existing traditional toilet system which will be ecofriendly and provide healthy sanitation. 2019-02-23T00:00:00Z
