The Effect of Rohingya Refugee Crisis on Local People and Current Environmental Condition of Ukhiya Upazila, Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh

Abstract

This research explores the environmental and security impacts of the Rohingya refugee crisis in Ukhiya Upazila of Bangladesh. Using remote sensing data and geospatial analysis, research works examine vegetation and forest cover loss in the Ukhiya refugee camp area. We have tried to understand the amount of vegetation change in Ukhia upazila from 2015 to 2023 by analyzing satellite images classification NDVI, NDBI and land use land cover (LULC). We went there directly and tried to highlight the impact of the Rohingya problem on the local people through a survey.
