Heat exposure assessment based on individual daily mobility patterns in Dhaka, Bangladesh

Flood damage assessment for Dhaka City, Bangladesh

Flood damage assessment is a key component in the development of city flood risk management strategies. A flood damage assessment model is being developed by combining flood hazard information (depth, extent, velocity, duration, etc.) with geographic information (land use/cover, buildings, infrastructure, etc.), social-economic data and population demographics to estimate urban flood impacts. I...

Daily and weekly patterns in human mobility

Most location-based services provide recommendations based on a user’s current location or a given route or destination. Even though there are indications that human movement is highly predictable, daily and weekly routines of individual users constitute a largely unexplored and unexploited area. In this paper, we show and discuss such patterns, based on a large dataset of GPS trajectories. In ...

Education in slums of Dhaka, Bangladesh

During the 1990s and early 2000s, Bangladesh experienced strong urban economic growth, a reduction in poverty rates, and rapid growth in primary school enrolments. Amongst many factors, these changes are linked to Bangladesh’s growing involvement in the global economy, especially in the form of garment factories, and conscious efforts by its government to increase enrolments through its primary...

Interaction of Mean Temperature and Daily Fluctuation Influences Dengue Incidence in Dhaka, Bangladesh

Local weather influences the transmission of the dengue virus. Most studies analyzing the relationship between dengue and climate are based on relatively coarse aggregate measures such as mean temperature. Here, we include both mean temperature and daily fluctuations in temperature in modelling dengue transmission in Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh. We used a negative binomial generalized line...
