Abstract

Background: In Hatiya Upazila, Noakhali District, Bangladesh, a coastal area vulnerable to one to three yearly disasters as well as risks like tidal waves, floods, and river erosion, this study examines climate risk and community-driven resilience. Method: This study was conducted in four villages in Hatiya Upazila, namely Nalchira, Chariswar, Jahajmara, and Nijhum Dwip, which were selected due to their geographical vulnerability and socio-economic diversity. Data were collected through triangulation of primary sources, including 12 interviews with key informants, 12 thematic case studies, and 12 focus group discussions, as well as secondary government statistics. Analysis was conducted using iterative thematic coding and subjective interpretation to synthesize field observations and individual narratives into insights on local resilience. Finding: The results show extreme economic fragility, with 80% of households using ways to cope, like cutting back on meals and buying food on loan, to deal with malnutrition. The majority of the population, who make between BDT 4,000 and 4,500 a month, rely on daily employment, fishing (21%), and agriculture (20%), all of which are hampered by severe weather. Raised plinths, income diversification (e.g., livestock rearing, handicrafts), and water management are examples of adaptable behaviors; but susceptibility is made worse, especially for women, by a lack of availability of alert systems, health services, and education. Conclusion: Recommendations include strengthening early warning systems, promoting sustainable livelihoods, and improving infrastructure like storm shelters and sanitation. Leveraging Hatiya’s productive fisheries and fields can enhance resilience and serve as a model for other climate-sensitive regions. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study highlights the critical role of local governance, informal leadership, and social networks in shaping resilience. It suggests that adaptation is most effective when integrating indigenous knowledge with structured community coordination, offering a more dynamic perspective on long-term climate survival.

Abstract

Background: Immunization is thought to be a very successful and economical therapeutic strategy since it dramatically lowers death and disability from vaccine-preventable illnesses. The survey was carried out at Rangpur medical college hospital (RMCH), Rangpur Division, Bangladesh, with the aim of evaluating the vaccination makeup of kids and moms. Methods: During January and June 2025, systematic interviews and immunisation document checking served to gather information about 200 participants, comprising 120 mothers and 80 children. For the statistical assessment, both deductive and informative techniques were applied using SPSS version 25. Findings: According to the Expanded Programme on Immunisation (EPI) timeline, 65% of the children assessed (n = 80) did totally immunised, 25% did partly immunized, and 10% did none. 55% of mothers received tetanus toxoid (TT) boosters, 78% obtained TT2, and 90% obtained TT1. Mothers in the 20–30 age range showed the highest percentage of vaccination knowledge (65%), followed by those over 30 (55%) and under 20 (40%). Ignorance (42%), vaccine unavailability (28%), fear of complications (18%), and hospital proximity (12%) were the largest obstacles to complete immunization. Furthermore, compared to children from distant regions (45%), children from urban or semi-urban areas had higher full vaccination rates (72%) (p = 0.012). Conclusion: The results underscore the critical role of tailored community-based interventions and policy measures that address structural inequities, maternal empowerment, and healthcare accessibility. To increase equitable levels of vaccination throughout Bangladesh, the results emphasize the necessity of enhancing maternal welfare skills, ensuring that vaccines remain available, and integrating immunizations into routine healthcare for women and newborns. Novelty/Originality of this article: The study additionally explored the interplay of socioeconomic status, maternal education, and health system factors, providing a holistic understanding of immunization behavior and the underlying social determinants influencing vaccine uptake.

Abstract

Background: Cox’s Bazar, a coastal district in southern Bangladesh, is highly vulnerable to natural disasters and socio-economic challenges. The region hosts a significant number of forcibly displaced Myanmar nationals (FDMNs) living in overcrowded and resource-constrained conditions. The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated existing vulnerabilities in both host and FDMN communities, affecting their physical health, mental well-being, and financial stability. This study explores the multidimensional impacts of the pandemic on these communities. Methods: This qualitative study (Jan–Apr 2022) was conducted in four upazilas of Cox’s Bazar. Data were collected through 16 FGDs and KIIs with about 200 participants from host and FDMN communities. Findings: Survey findings reveal that 73% of respondents reported experiencing COVID-19-related physical symptoms, with fever, dry cough, fatigue, sore throat, and anosmia being the most common. Approximately 61% of participants had mild to severe symptoms, though many recovered without medical intervention. The pandemic also triggered widespread psychological distress. Respondents reported heightened levels of anxiety, depression, loneliness, and uncertainty during the lockdown period. Economically, the impact was equally severe. Loss of income, increased food insecurity, and joblessness were reported by a large portion of the population. The tourism sector, a vital component of Cox’s Bazar’s economy, was significantly disrupted. Conclusion: About 57% of host community members indicated that their livelihoods were directly or indirectly affected by the lockdown and related containment measures. Government and humanitarian agencies must adopt a multidimensional response framework that addresses the physical, psychological, and economic needs of both host and FDMN populations to ensure long-term recovery and resilience. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study compares host and FDMN communities in Cox’s Bazar, assessing COVID-19 impacts across physical, psychological, and financial dimensions.
