Introduction
With these evolutionary, emergent and changing properties of conflict in the project management context (Tukiainen et al., 2010), understanding the different formats of conflict therefore also becomes important for sustainable project management (Adderley &. This brings with it an interesting study) . gap in understanding the typology, categorization and classification of conflicts relevant to the project management domain.
Methodology
To fill this research gap, the purpose of this study is to describe the categories of conflicts in a project management context through a literature review. As the understanding of the types of conflict can be codified as a set of qualitative data, while the description embodies the qualitative analysis to qualitatively typify the types of conflicts between project stakeholders, so the type of data and analysis of this study are of appropriate quality (Silverman, 2011). .
Methods
Data collection methods refer to the actions of capturing what is essential to answer the research question related to the purpose of the study (6 & Bellamy, 2012). Data coding methods refer to the act of classifying information into thematic categories related to the purpose of the study (6 & Bellamy, 2012).
Analysis, Results and Discussions
Since team learning is a strong predictor of perceived team performance (Woerkom & Engen, 2009), organizational learning can provide for the concept of sustainable organizational development by focusing on effective team relationships within the organizations that ensure sustainable information sharing and communication process (Santos). -Enemies, 2012; Jehn, 1997). When the issues of the stakeholders in the networks contain conflicts, then this gives rise to the triangular conflicts between the project stakeholders in the project networks.
Conclusion
Accordingly, issue-focused stakeholder management that dominates multi-stakeholder networks, as proposed by Roloff (2008) ultimately contributes to the sustainable development of inter-organizational cooperation in accordance with the CSR filter it provides prioritizing stakeholder issues in strategies (Werther & Chandler (2011; Roloff, 2008; Bryson et al., 2006). Depending on this, engaging stakeholders in good faith in multi-stakeholder networks as proposed by Dawkins (2014) ultimately contributes to the sustainable development of inter-organizational cooperation in a network perspective.
The focal point for project managers is this type of subjective conflict between project stakeholders. Therefore, depending on the organizational systems, processes and policies – the focal point for project managers is this type of objective conflict between project stakeholders.
Climate Change & Adaptation
Methods and materials 1. Study Design
Management strategies to overcome fish loss: Management strategies were nominally measured and coded as 1= raise pond embankment, 2= change species, 3= fence pond with net. Crop yield reduction and management strategies: Management strategies were nominally measured and coded as 1= hybrid crop cultivation, 2= use.
Results
However, for injuries and skin disease, householders could not rely on all types of coping strategies. Household members followed various coping strategies to support family according to different monthly incomes after Cyclone Aila.
Discussion
As noted, the coping strategies of planting deep-rooted trees and upland plantations accounted for 30 percent of each when household residents faced partial forest damage in Kamarkhola village. The affected family members of Kamarkhola village adopted four strategies to overcome crop failure.
Conclusion
But the householders express scientific knowledge in carrying out species modification, especially in breeding new fish for salt water, breeding hybrid paddy (BR) and using technology and embankment plantation after Aila. Empirical findings show that the coping strategies chosen by household residents are a combination of positive and negative.
The coastal region is likely to face the major consequences of climate change in the future. The coastal people of Bangladesh are associated with various methods of adaptation to climate change for a long time without even realizing the future expected extremity of the climate change phenomenon.
Study Area
Answers to such questions will provide information on Bangladesh's position as a society with appropriate adaptation strategies and their implementation considering the risks of climate change. It will also help determine criteria for successful adaptations and design better policies and measures in the future in response to potential climate change.
Methodology
Analysis of the Adaptation Practices
Soil salinity is a major concern of local communities in the coastal belt of Bangladesh. Bangladesh is the country that will be most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change in the coming decades.
Data Sources and Methodology
Study area
Agricultural insecticides not only pose an environmental threat, but are a significant expense for poor rice farmers.
Result and Discussion
These data were collected by the meteorological department of Bangladesh and used for the analysis of the changing impact of climate change on agriculture. For this climate variation of 20 years, crop production has been affected by the impact of climate.
Material and Methods 2.1 Study area
To identify the present status of organic farming in Daynna Union of Tangail Sadar Upazila. To inquire the constraints of organic farming in Daynna Union of Tangail Sadar Upazila.
Results and Discussions 3.1 Farmer’s data analysis
Due to the lack of knowledge about organic farming, only 25% of consumers have no idea about the harmful effects of pesticides or chemical fertilizers on the human body and the environment. It is observed that 80% of consumers are interested in buying organic products because of the purity, taste and aesthetic value of these products.
Literature Review
However, dry season boro rice cultivation is very low and covers less than 14% of the coastal area (Mishu and Zaman, 2013). Agriculture is one of the main livelihood options for the coastal population of Bangladesh (GoB and UNDP, 2009).
Study Area
During the dry season, borage and some non-rice crops are grown on a small scale. At this time of year, both soil and water salinity reach their peak.
Methodology and Data Collection
Results
After re-excavating these three canals, local farmers cultivate the surrounding lands with the stored water during the dry season. Re-excavation of the canals will result in availability of irrigation water and subsequent increased area coverage during dry season cultivation.
Discussion
Training and workshop program should be organized by government and non-government organizations to build the management capacity of the local people. If all the governmental and non-governmental organizations come forward to re-excavate the canals and local community actively participates in the management of the canals, it will play an important role in improving agricultural productivity in the study area.
Conclusion
But due to the carelessness of the local people and conflicts between different livelihood groups, these canals have silted up over time. The Dacope agricultural office and Khulna BWDB office said that despite high public demand, they cannot re-excavate the canals due to the huge costs and insufficient government funds.
Study area
Title: Variation of morphological characteristics with different hydraulic regime for Ganges-Brahmaputra-Megha delta estuaries. The main drivers that influence the hydraulic regime characteristics of estuaries are tides, river discharge, waves, lateral sediment transport, water density difference and climatic factors (Savenije, 2012).
Model description
Here reliability is a new model reliability metric introduced by Haque et al [10] and is shown to realistically quantify performance of a dynamic model. Here and are the measured and the model values at any time t is the average of the measured.
Model validation
Result and discussion
Figure 6 plots the WDR and maximum current velocity for the same NDF location for each of the estuaries. The overall relationship between WDR and NDF is polynomial, with correlations ranging from 0.31 (for the Tetulia estuary) to 0.98 (Lower Meghna estuary).

The Bay of Bengal is a potentially energetic region for the development of cyclonic storms and about 7% of all such cyclones strike the Bangladesh coast (Gray, 1968). et al., 2001), leading to long-term damage to coastal ecosystems and landscapes (Dietrich et al., 2013).
Model Description
Model Calibration and Validation
Result 1 Inundation
If the flood water height is lower than the polder height, the regions within the polders are not flooded during a storm surge. There is only one incident where polders were breached or crossed (during cyclone SIDR), but no such incident occurs for AILA and SIDR-AILA-LIKE cyclones (Fig. 7 and Fig. 8).
Acknowledgements
In particular, this paper explores how vocational training contributes to improving household resilience to cyclones and storm surges in the coastal region of Bangladesh. So the contribution of vocational training in the three stages of disasters is a key point to understand disaster resilience to cyclones and storm surges.
Key concepts 1. Human capital
Harpan and Draghici (2013) mentioned three approaches to measuring human capital; the first approach is based on individual aspects. From the point of view of three approaches, we have developed a new framework for measuring human capital.
Study area and methods
In our study, resilience is our dependent and vocational training are independent variables. Furthermore, comparison of averages is used to justify the contribution of vocational training to the household.
Result and discussions
Moreover, the results show a significant relationship between different levels of family resilience and the education and professional training of household heads. Our results suggested the special contribution of education and vocational training to the resilience of households to disasters.
Policy implications and conclusions
Title: Preliminary Assessment of Socio-Economic Vulnerability in the Coastal Region: A Case Study of Barguna District. For the analysis of socio-economic vulnerability, six social indicators and six economic indicators were selected based on literature review and socio-economic conditions in the study area.
Vulnerability Comparision
Aim and Objectives
The goal of the research is to observe and learn how people adapt to river bank erosion.
Literature review
On average, seventy percent of the respondents were of the opinion that the cropping pattern is being changed due to bank erosion. Adaptation Strategies to Address Coastal Erosion/Flooding A Case Study of the Communities in Bang Khun Thian District,.
Methodology
Study area
Result and Discussion
From the above graph it can be said that most of the people of my study area are landless. Most people in my study area have a clear concept of when erosion will occur.
Recommendation
Therefore, it is encouraged to build a partnership approach between GO and NGOs for sustainable development-led disaster management in Bangladesh. In the context of disaster management in Bangladesh, this paper aims to review the current disaster management practices of NGOs and explore the communication gaps between NGOs and GOs in disaster management practices.
NGOs Involvement in Disaster Management of Bangladesh
Pre-disaster activities include advocacy, public information campaigns and training programs for personnel involved in disaster management, from national to union or local community levels. A case study of NGO involvement in disaster management in Bangladesh As a follow-up activity to the dialogue with NGOs in BUET, a team would visit.
A Case Study of NGO Involvement in Disaster Management of Bangladesh As a follow-up activity of the Dialogue with NGOs held in BUET a team was set to visit
Also, the importance of NGO involvement in disaster management for the sustainable development of Bangladesh was clearly evident in this area. Also, they are involved in providing training to strengthen the capacity of volunteers involved in disaster management.
The Broken Bridge between Policy Guideline and Practices
Therefore, it is necessary to build an effective partnership between government agencies for disaster management and NGOs and there must be a bridge to transfer the knowledge and experience of both these organizations for sustainable disaster management of the country. Therefore, it is necessary to recognize the roles of NGOs in disaster management with proper documentation and to strengthen their volunteer attitude, they are needed to be actively included at the political level of the country.
Data Sources and Research Methodology
To detect common health problems directly or indirectly related to the use of water and sanitation; . d) To submit recommendations in this direction.
Present Health status of the population of the study area
Figure 4.3 shows that in the study area, 11-30 year old people suffered from different diseases and 51-75 year old people were less prone to diseases. From the figure: 4.4 it can be seen that employment, unemployment and labor are less affected by illness.
Sanitation system, hygiene practice and health
The broad objective of the study was to know the farmers' perception of drought and its impacts in the study areas. The study focused on six villages under six upazilas in three districts of Bangladesh over a period of nine months.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION 1 Perception of drought
- Drought frequency 9
The specific objectives of the study were: i) exploring the causes of drought; .. ii) recognize the symptoms of drought; iii) know the frequency of drought and the last year of drought; iv) how the drought affected livelihoods; and v) how agriculture is affected by drought. Irregular rainfall or scanty rainfall is also one of the causes of drought in the study areas.
