Urban Resilience Project

The purpose of this report is to find out what are gaps in relation to the information needed for this project. Based on data surveying, in urban planning part, demographic and socioeconomic data are related to the 2011 census and therefore are not up to date. Also, spatial layers of boundaries (Ward, Mouza, etc.) have several overlapping and topological errors. In addition, The Ward shapefile used by the Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS) differs from those used in the DAP.  This makes it impossible to adapt the DAP data and BBS data to each other. Also, the data are almost objective and there is no subjective data that reflects the thoughts of citizens. Accordingly, for the next steps of the project, either we need to find the necessary data or provide a platform for analysis with existing data.

Also, present report identifies the potential gaps in data which include lack of data, incomplete data, the validity of data, and finally lack of proper coverage in the DMDP area. Lack of data and also incomplete data have been summarized in the report. In addition, coverage of data in each discipline has been presented by a map in DMDP and Dhaka city.
