A GIS-BASED ANALYSIS ON “EMERGENCY DISASTER RESPONSE” -A CASE STUDY ON CHITTAGONG CITY CORPORATION
(Dept. of CE, CUET, 19-Dec-2018) Kader, M. A.; Islam, M. K.
Chittagong city is located on the south-eastern coast of Bangladesh and called the “commercial” capital of the country. It is vulnerable to natural disasters such as earthquake, flood etc. And for the compact urban populations, geographical location, and infrastructure, it creates an even higher risk. People and their property are often affected. If there is an emergency response plan, it will help people to take shelter in a secure place such as hospitals. Geographic information system (GIS) is used to identify probable areas of high, moderate and low risk in case of an earthquake occurs. High risk areas involve regions that are vulnerable to slope failure, close to the locations of transformers. It is mapped out the regions within Chittagong that are at high risk of slope failure, electrical surges and measure the best possible (least cost) routes for the city dwellers to reach the assumed safe destinations such as hospitals. Thus, the outcome of the research can be used for further research and analysis to make an android application of emergency disaster response.
AN ANALYSIS ON EXISTING CONDITION OF INTER DISTRICT BUS TERMINALS OF CHITTAGONG CITY
(Dept. of CE, CUET, 19-Dec-2018) Shermin, A. A.; Sultana, J.; Hasan, M. R.
Bus is very important mode of transportation for a city. The significance of integrated and balanced transportation system, especially planned logistics is indispensable for communication efficiency and sustainable development of any country. The inter-district bus terminals, as a key component of transport logistics play a vital role in assuring intra-urban mobility and inter-regional movement competitiveness. Chittagong is the second largest city and commercial capital of Bangladesh. It has two inter-district bus terminals and some prime Bus Stations. Due to the city’s location significance, spatial influence and economic role in the national context, the importance of these three bus terminals are crucial in facilitating sound passenger movement from Chittagong to the rest of the country and vice versa. The necessity, therefore, to make these existing terminal facilities more organized, well-served and functionally competent is the demand of the time. With the backdrop, this paper focuses on existing condition analysis of these inter-district bus terminals in reference to their regulatory framework, infrastructure facilities and management system. The outcome indicated deviation of the facility provisions in comparison to prescribed regulations and their inadequacy in relation to the increasing demand of its passengers.

Effect of Land-Use Intensity on Surface Temperature A Study on Chittagong City Corporation Area
(IEEE, 13-May-2016) Ara, Sharmin; Islam, Md. Ashraful; Showkat, Sanjida
Heat and temperature is on the news of the air in the today's world. High temperatures in urban areas have a direct impact on human health and are associated with heat related problems and excess summer deaths. This study is carried out to know the trend of land surface temperature and assess the impact of land use intensity on temperature in the Chittagong City Corporation Area, Bangladesh. A general linear model was used to estimate surface temperatures using Landsat TM, ETM+ and OLI_TIRS are used in the year 1991, 2003 and 2015 the months of May. Land use and its environmental effects can be quantitatively defined by land-use intensity. In this study, land use intensity metric was improved using a geographic mapping method. The results revealed the temperature increased when the land-use intensity increased via a hierarchical transition owing to
