Assessing urban earthquake resilience through an integrated indicator framework: Engineering, governance, and community dimensions in Sylhet, Bangladesh
Urban earthquake resilience is increasingly recognized as a multidimensional challenge that extends beyond structural safety to include governance capacity, community preparedness, and coordinated recovery. This study assesses urban earthquake resilience through an integrated indicator framework encompassing engineering, governance, and community dimensions, with application to Sylhet, Bangladesh, a seismically exposed and resource-constrained ur…
Pathways to resilience: Adaptive governance in disaster management systems
The increasing impacts of climate change necessitate the urgent development and implementation of policies and governance frameworks to increase disaster resilience. Adaptive governance has emerged as a potential strategy for regulating social-ecological systems amidst prevailing uncertainties and changes in environmental conditions. This research asks how adaptive governance can be effectively leveraged to enhance disaster resilience in practice…
From patronage to crisis: Welfare politics and the breakdown of rule of law in Bangladesh’s political transformation
This article theorizes and traces a mechanism in which welfare provision, once routed through partisan brokers, morphs into patronage that corrodes the rule of law, culminating in crisis and an interim political settlement. Using a qualitative, theory-guided case of Bangladesh (2024–2025), we combine process tracing with critical discourse analysis of domestic and international media, elite speeches, and rights reports, and we benchmark trajector…

Assessing the Linkages of Livelihood Capitals of Small-Scale Fishermen in Malaysia
The adaptive capacity of small-scale fishermen (SSF) hinges on the interaction between multiple livelihood capitals—human, physical, social, financial, and natural—as outlined in the Sustainable Livelihood Framework. However, existing studies have primarily focused on individual aspects of these capitals, with limited attention to how they collectively shape adaptive capacity, particularly within the Malaysian context. This study addresses this g…

Experience of farmers using mobile phone for farming information flow in Boro rice production: A case of Eastern Gangetic Plain
Mobile phones are widely used for personal communication, but their use for agricultural purposes is scarce in the Eastern Gangetic Plain. Given Bangladesh's heavy reliance on rice production, particularly dry season, the study addresses the gap in the literature by investigating farmers' perceptions and examining the factors that influence mobile phone usage and its impact on Boro rice production. The research entailed questionnaire surveys with…
Resilience and recovery: A systematic review of tourism governance strategies in disaster-affected regions
Highland communities’ climate change perceptions, climatic shocks and livelihood practices during Covid-19 pandemic
Highland areas are more susceptible to climate change impacts. This study investigates the highland communities’ climate change perceptions, climatic hazards, and livelihood practices during the COVID-19 pandemic. Using a multi-stage random sampling technique, survey data were gathered from 425 respondents living in highland areas of Panchagarh district, a drought-prone region in Bangladesh. Perception analysis indicates that most respondents (77…
Exploring the nexus between urban green space and sustainable tourism: Potential for the green economy
This study explores the nexus between urban green space (UGS) and sustainable tourism (ST) and its potential for achieving a green economy. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐Analyses (PRISMA) approach was applied to reveal the most relevant documents. This study has identified the 35 most relevant documents from the Scopus database. This study reveals a strong nexus between UGS and ST and a strong linkage between vario…

Urban Resilience for Urban Sustainability: Concepts, Dimensions, and Perspectives
Urbanization is a continuous process for a city’s economic development. Though rapid urbanization provides a huge employment opportunity for people, urban threats also increase proportionately due to natural and man-made hazards. Understanding urban resilience and sustainability is an urgent matter to face hazards in the rapidly urbanized world. Therefore, this study aims to clarify the concept and develop key indications of urban resilience and …
Understanding rural local government response during Covid-19-induced lockdown: Perspective from Bangladesh
Assessment of flood vulnerability of riverine island community using a composite flood vulnerability index
The devastating impact of flooding is gradually increasing worldwide including riverine islands of Bangladesh due to climate change issue. Riverine islands and coastal communities are the primary victims due to their geographical position. The riverine islands (char) of Bangladesh are frequently flooded, necessitating context-specific flood management policies and actions that require an in-depth investigation of household vulnerability level. Th…
Farm level adaptation to climate change: Insight from rice farmers in the coastal region of Bangladesh
Coastal agriculture and livelihoods worldwide are highly vulnerable to changing climates, and Bangladesh is no exception due to its geophysical location. This paper examines rice farmers’ vulnerability, adaptation strategies, and adaptation barriers to managing climate change impacts in the coastal region of Bangladesh. Survey data were collected from 220 randomly selected rice farmers located across two coastal districts of Bangladesh. A multino…
Impacts of Covid ‐19 induced food insecurity among informal migrants: Insight from Dhaka, Bangladesh
Food insecurity is one of the rising problems in Bangladesh, and it is severely prevalent among informal migrant workers. In this case, the COVID-19 pandemic has multiplied the food insecurity of informal migrant workers.
