Abstract

This study identifies the on-street parking characteristics of Dhaka New Market, a shopping area of Bangladesh. Parking usage survey by patrol was conducted both on weekday and weekend to find out the parking characteristics. The analysis of parking patrol survey data demonstrates that parking accumulation, volume, load and index are much higher at the weekend which indicates raised parking demand than that of weekday. As existing parking supply fail to accommodate higher parking demand spill-over parking is being encouraged and consequently traffic congestion, obstruction to pedestrian movement and bus stop zone have been created. Parking space inventory survey and user opinion survey were also conducted to recognize on-street parking induced problems and to adopt some policy measures in these regards.

Abstract

Landfill has been recognized as the cheapest and more acceptable form for the final disposal of municipal solid waste and as such has been the most used method in the world. Selection of appropriate landfill site is a complex task as the selection process involves many criteria. This paper presents the landfill site selection process of Savar Municipality. Initially, area required for future landfill site has been estimated considering without waste composting and with different percentages of composting. The estimation shows that, 4.09 to 9.96 acres of land will be required annually by 2025 for landfill. Then Multi Criteria Evaluation (MCE) approach has been used to identify suitable sites for landfill. After having set-up of selected criteria, scaling of criteria and weighting of criteria; suitability scores for eight landfill sites have been calculated. Two landfill sites have been chosen on the basis of their higher suitability score.
