Third year students (Session 2019-20) of Climate and Disaster Management Department presented their group work on Sustainable Land Use Planning Sessional project on 1^st April,2023.

Students were grouped into three hazards based to represent the land use planning in structural way. Three groups are categorized as cyclone hazard, earthquake hazard and fire hazard for proposing sustainable as well as resilient land use planning.

Group-1 displayed their project work on Cyclone hazard where they prioritized the embankment in coastal area. They analysed the historical data to measure the height of storm water. After that they emphasized on tree plantation for minimizing the wind storm.They considered the thunderstorm and flooding occurrence issue. For that, they proposed the palm tree to escape from lightning and heighten the house plinth for flooding. Besides cyclone shelter is also established in the walking distance for the emergency situation.

Group-2 worked on Earthquake hazard and they exhibited their project with smartly. Here they divided their zone in different sections such as industrial, commercial, residential and educational purpose. Their plan suggested the evacuation route for the aftermath of hazard as well as secondary hazard of fire. They made a model building where they displayed the emergency stairway, fire extinguisher, alarm system, lateral movement of building in terms of shaking. Outside the building there are kept open space. There is also established a waste disposal management system in the ground.

Group-3 represented the fire hazard planning for sustainable land use. They did their excellent job by installing water source every short distance by which a hose pipe can be placed for water supply. Sufficient water stored at the water body and tank. Evacuation route plan is flexible to fire service and civil defense. They also exhibited a model building for fire risk management where fire extinguisher, emergency exit, stored water, fire resistive building materials etc designed structurally.
