Community-Based Riverine Flood Risk Assessment and Evaluating Its Drivers: Evidence from Rarh Plains of India

Aznarul Islam et al.

Summary: This study focuses on community-based risk assessment in the context of riverine floods in the rarh plains of India, specifically looking at flood hazard and community vulnerability. The results show significant differences in economic and social-infrastructural vulnerability among religion-based communities, with agricultural distress intensifying labor migration as the main driver of these differences.

Smallholder Farmers' Perceived Climate-Related Risk, Impact, and Their Choices of Sustainable Adaptation Strategies

Abdullah Al Mamun et al.

Summary: This study evaluates the perceived climate-related risks and impacts on smallholder farmers in northern Bangladesh, as well as factors influencing their adaptation strategies. Farmers perceive flood, drought, riverbank erosion, and heat waves as critical risks and employ measures like agricultural diversification and changes in inputs. Factors such as age, education level, and income influence farmers' choices of adaptation strategies. Limited water availability and crop diseases are main constraints experienced by farmers during adaptation efforts, highlighting the need for awareness and capacity building.

Perceived and actual risks of drought: household and expert views from the lower Teesta River Basin of northern Bangladesh

Roquia Salam et al.

Summary: Disaster risk perception and appraisal are crucial for disaster risk reduction policy formulation. This study examined actual vs perceived drought risks at household and expert levels in northern Bangladesh, finding significant differences in perceived risk among different case study sites. Female households and those with lower socio-economic status were found to be more vulnerable to drought risks. The study outcomes can help policymakers and disaster managers understand specific risk scenarios and take effective risk reduction measures.

Assessing Farmers' Typologies of Perception for Adopting Sustainable Adaptation Strategies in Bangladesh

Abu Reza Md. Towfiqul Islam et al.

Summary: The study categorized farmers into three groups based on their perceived knowledge of environmental issues and climate change, using PCA and CA to analyze survey data. The 'Worried' cluster showed a positive association with the adoption of SASs due to a high sense of perceived risk of climate change, while the 'Ecocentric' and 'Anthropocentric' groups had a negative association with SASs adoption due to low awareness of climate change.
