The Project Location Changes in NGO’s Commitment to Disaster Management in Bangladesh

Abstract

NGO is the important actor for disaster management due to its grass roots activity in natural disaster prone country -Bangladesh. However, there aren’t enough prior researches for disaster management NGOs so that the purpose of this paper is to reveal the relation between NGO’s project registration areas, disaster affected areas, and disaster prone areas by analyzing mainly with Geographic Information System (GIS). The result showed a relation between disaster affected area and NGOs activities to some extent, but on the other hand, project locations and fund do not seem to be distributed impartially in vulnerable areas.
