Bangladesh has a unique hydro-geological setting and deltaic floodplain which is jointly formed by the deposition of the Ganges
(Padma), Brahmaputra (Jamuna) and Meghna River. The physical characteristics of the geographic location, river morphology
and the monsoon climate render Bangladesh highly vulnerable to natural disasters, primarily, floods and cyclones. River flooding
has exerted a great impact on the culture and socioeconomic activities. The char people and their settlements in the Padma
River channel are under threat due to floods and associated river bank erosion. The excess of water happens during the monsoon
season because of widespread flooding that damages char-land settlements, agricultural crops, infrastructure and communication
networks. Purba Khas Bandarkhola Mouza of Char-Janajat is largely affected by annual floods, and as a result the char people
are displaced frequently from one place to another within and/or outside the char. The dwellers can return to the native char
when new land emerges in the river channel after floods. This study has revealed that the displacement of char settlement
takes place in almost every 3–5a at Purba Khas Bandarkhola Mouza of Char-Janajat. Our findings shed light on the char flood
disaster management and social adaptation plan for settlement development of char livelihood in the Padma River basin in the
Ganges delta of Bangladesh. 相似文献
