| dc.description | Every year tropical cyclones frequently strikes all the continents of the globe
with a devastating blow. Whether it is cyclone or hurricane or typhoon it is
the same natural phenomenon which causes death, destruction of wealth, and
lives behind a legacy of despair among those who survives the aftermath.
Tropical cyclones are usually depressions in the sea or ocean which develops
into storm. There are certain regions in the ocean or the seas where cyclones
are more frequent. It is called cyclones in the areas of Bay of Bengal, Indian
Ocean and the Arabian sea. Tropical cyclones/storms in the South pacific
along with the Northern coasts of Australia and north-west pacific are known
as typhoons while in the Caribbean, USA and central America it is called
hurricanes. Tropical storms which develops in the bay of Bengal commonly
known as cyclones, moves towards the coastal belts of Orissa and West
Bengal of India or north-easterly towards the coastal areas of Bangladesh,
Stretching over 750 kilometers long area from Teknaf river in the south-east
to the mouth of Raimangal river in the south-west. This includes districts like
Chittagong, Noakhali, Patuakhali, Barisal, and Khulna where the cyclones
strike most in Bangladesh. The frequency and intensity of cyclones gradually
decrease towards the interior part of the country as such the most immediate
area along the coast are devastated by most severe cyclones. | en_US |
| dc.description.abstract | The main purpose of the study was to examine the effectiveness of social
forestry programme initiated in the Kutubdia and Chokaria thana of Cox’s
Bazar district for coastal protection. The trend of increase and decrease of
social forestry programme was determined. The opinion of the stakeholders
regarding changes in socio-economic conditions and effect on coastal
protection due to social forestry were also studied. Twenty percent of the
total stakeholders were selected randomly to collect data having a sample
size of 195. Data were collected by using interview schedule. Data were
collected during 36 days. From 16 September to 21 October, 2005 The
occupational structure of the population showed that 17.27 percent
population are engaged in income generation activities through the social
forestry programmes. In many cases there did not exist any legal constraints
between the institution and participants. The economic return depended upon
the variety of trees that are planted in the project area or around the
homesteads. It was reported that many people (36 percent) saved their lives
by taking shelter on trees in 1991 cyclone. Majority (62.1 percent) have
suggested to plant trees on both sides of coastal embankment. For this, the
profile should be fairly thick and start with short plants or shrubs in front
and gradually higher trees at the back. It was found that social forestry
programmes implemented in the selected areas generated ample employment
both for men and women and also increased their daily income. It also
increased additional income and wage rate for the rural poor people. The
economic gain not only promotes the living status of the beneficiary
members, but also brings a self-reliant attitude among the beneficiaries.
Besides the economic gain, the plantation developed by social forestry
activities improved the overall environmental condition at the study area.
Plantation of institutional premises a play a vital role in the environmental
improvement and ultimately become national property. | en_US |
