Mapping global sentiments and geopolitical nuances in the Russia–Ukraine war through Facebook narratives
This study examined how Facebook users have expressed sentiments and political bias on the ongoing Russia–Ukraine war. The VADER model and LDA-based topic modeling were employed to analyze 130,133 Facebook posts related to the war over a two-year period. Furthermore, the XGBoost classifier model was used to annotate data on political bias toward Russia or Ukraine. The study found strong polarization, indicating posts were 65.4% negative, 12.4% po…
Covid-19 and multidimensional poverty
As one of the most severe pandemics in decades, COVID-19 has left lasting impacts on health systems, economies, and social structures across the world. Existing research has documented varied socio-economic effects of the pandemic globally, yet there remains a significant gap in understanding how COVID-19 has affected multidimensional poverty in Bangladesh. This research examines the impact of COVID-19 on the MPI (multidimensional poverty index) …
Internally Displaced People Induced by Riverbank Erosion
Riverbank erosion constitutes a major environmental hazard, particularly in the northwestern regions of Bangladesh, where the number of internally displaced persons (IDPs) continues to rise. These displaced populations are compelled to navigate shifting socio-economic landscapes while contending with a range of persistent challenges. This study focuses on the IDPs of Phulchari upazila in Gaibandha district, aiming to assess the socio-economic and…
Impact of co-management on tree diversity and carbon sequestration in protected areas
Forest Protected Area (PA) co-management, which integrates local communities in the forest management structures, was started in Bangladesh in 2004 to effectively manage and conserve forest resources. This study has investigated if the initiative has met its objectives. Using NDVI maps, we applied a stratified random sampling framework to identify sample plots. Phytosociological and carbon-sequestration data were collected from two co-managed PAs…
Analyzing multi-temporal satellite imagery and stakeholders' perceptions to have an insight into how forest co-management is changing the protected area landscapes in Bangladesh
Socioeconomics of biodiversity conservation in the protected areas
Kaptai National Park (KNP) was declared a protected area (PA) in 1999 to protect its degrading biodiversity. This created conflicts between the forest-dependent communities and the KNP managers since in a PA everything is prohibited unless permitted. For the effective conservation of biodiversity resources of the PAs, Bangladesh has adopted forest co-management systems where forest-dependent people play an important role. Surveying a total of 150…
