| description | Although migration may be regarded as fundamentally social and economic in nature natural hazards are found
to be increasingly responsible for human migration. Given this context this paper explores the trends and
factors of out-migration in Meghna Estuarine Islands. In this empirical research, primary data were collected
through a three-stage socio-economic survey. The findings indicate that natural hazards such as river bank
erosion, saline tide, flood, cyclone, and storms caused extreme havoc to the life and livelihood of Meghna
inhabitants rapidly forcing some of them to migrate temporarily or permanently. To others the impacts have
been in the form of slow migration decision in tandem with the steady disturbance of the existing regular
economic, social and environmental systems. A simplistic model was thus generated to depict the relationship
between natural hazards and outmigration in the study area. |
