Abstract
This research studies the environmental crisis in villages Radhakrishnapur and South Binnatari under Rangpur City Corporation. Although the villages are under City corporation area, these are deprived of the opportunities and access available for City Corporation. Moreover the areas are regularly being affected by natural disasters as flood and river bank erosion. People of the community gave a mixed perception on “Monga”, whether it is prevailing or not and they defined it by their own way. People of the community have silent conflict with the Army body on land acquisition issue. People have less access to work and a portion migrates to other areas, either inside the city or other cities to find out alternative sources of income. The researchers tried to explore the problems and crisis of the people of these two villages so that further initiatives to mitigate these can be taken.
Highlights
Environmental crisis is a contemporary issue of the present world
If we explore the causes of environmental crisis, we will likely discover that the root cause is not in overpopulation [1] nor it is in technology [2], it can be regarded as a crisis for humanity and modern civilization as the “bedrock assumptions of our civilization are increasingly at odds with the world we inhibit” [3]
From our direct observation we found that they are most affected by flood that occurs middle of the Bengali month of Jaishtha to Vadro
Summary
Environmental crisis is a contemporary issue of the present world. It indicates mainly environmental problems such as air pollution, water pollution, massive level of land degradation, damage crops and vegetation etc. If we explore the causes of environmental crisis, we will likely discover that the root cause is not in overpopulation [1] nor it is in technology [2], it can be regarded as a crisis for humanity and modern civilization as the “bedrock assumptions of our civilization are increasingly at odds with the world we inhibit” [3] This crisis has catastrophic effect including increased rate of health diseases, desertification and loss of plant species. The monsoon season is followed by a prolonged dry season, where lack of appreciable rainfall and almost continuous evaporation from the top soil give rise to aridity and subsequent (phonological) moisture stress [4], [5] The rivers both big and small gradually became incapable of draining the huge quantity of silt-laden runoff passing through them during the monsoon period and cause floods [6]. In recent years “the urban environment” has become a coherent concept, a political issue and a matter for the attention of the research councils’ [18]
