摘要

The concluding chapter highlights the main findings of the study and addressing the deficiencies in the current support programs for the affected households due to river bank erosion in Sirajganj district. This study has revealed the complex effects of riverbank erosion on the livelihoods of communities in Bangladesh, where rivers significantly influence both the landscape and the socio-economic structure. This study explore the close connection between environmental change and social vulnerability, demonstrating how erosion impacts individuals and communities variably according to their socio-economic status, gender, and geographical location. In Bangladesh, it is also crucial to include the marginalized voices of those affected by river bank erosion in governance processes. This may be achieved by their active involvement and capacity building. By adopting a bottom-up approach, Bangladesh can effectively address the SDGs. However, the preceding chapter has drawn the findings from a deliberately selected interview with 66 individuals from 54 families, including 20 households from urban slums in Dhaka, FGDs, KIIS, and case studies. Detailed justification of data collection is provided in Chap. 1 . The findings show that the displaced population due to erosion along the river receives no significant support in securing livelihood, especially in reconstructing homes and/or opportunities in income generation.
