However, a definitive answer to the question of what regional development planning will be, and in what direction it will go, is still being fully explored. Unbalanced growth, regional disparities and the rapid growth of metropolitan agglomerations influence social and cultural conditions. Over the past decade there has been a growing interest in rural development planning at local level in many developing countries in Asia and the Pacific.
Development planning in a wider regional framework must contain issues that can be properly tackled at the local level. Regional Development Plan; s, tr.aME;e'", and administrators use rational, technical methods to analyze ural regnalal problems and to recommend or take appropriate action for pro- 'bl'\m solution as well as to develop viable rural .development pro- to formulate 34;oy the geometry of regional development, the sociology of ~nc()me distribution and the ecology of environmental development.
Here it is appropriate to note that the issue of regional balance in economic development has its roots in general national goals, a"f1dobjectives". In the context of spatial planning, policy can "ue £lillieu" at .ed which addresses regional inequalities/differences.

IMPACT OF RIVERBA},'K ER0SION AND FLOOD ON P~S,APCH
Erosion of the banks of the river, as characterized by Rogge (1987) as a result of direct periodic phenomena and combined together with tides and cyclones, can justify its classification in the group of '/I,th 1r.aterial catastrophe'. rather than "natural hazards" according to the UN's official definition. Erosion of riverbanks, which "causes" great loss of land every year, thereby causing un!llunal suffering for inhalation. It is estimated that as 1 million inhabitants die every year, it is not a modest form of natural disaster, the consequences of which are even more serious than the disasters that are perceived everywhere, such as cyclone, floacs, storm, 1'01-canic e' rupture and earthquakes etc.
In the Project Profile of RBIS, the current problems are well described and point out all the important points to expand. It goes on to discuss the sheer scale of the p:,problem with its macro and micro impact on rural population. Due to time constraints, it is not possible to go into the details of the studies.
Here it is necessary to relate the arguments of Amin '(88) that despite the serious consequences of river bank erosion the (JOY-:'.'80 far'~r-,as-nc~;xi'i:k" , It is a settlement strategy to deal with the nature of the research. The research is mainly exploratory and covers the subject of the research, with respect to the central point of the research. macro level that covers the entire district with regard to the problem Then the micro level to evaluate the socio-economic condition of the target group within a group within intensive river erosion and flood-prone area.
To realize the objectives of this study, the data for this study were collected from other sources of literature which are themselves published materials in the form of books, -Durnal with reference and from the international symposium papers on -the "Imj:>'lct of River- bli' nk RrosiDn, flood hazard and displaced population problems.Jhalakati bdongs to greater Barisal, about 15 miles away from Harisal' (greater) district, headquarters, which pr~ :no~jHly a su'Q_divijlion of gr'eatet Barisa1: It is listed of ?irojpur dis- According to the 1981 census, the occupation of agriculture has the majority with 26% of the total population engaged in c~ lf-tivation, while the noncro.p class in agriculture is only 2%.

Poor socio-economic profile of the entire district, dis~ . places from river bank erosion do not have enough economic power to buy a small piece of land after being left landless due to erosion. The coping mechanism through indigenous responses was mostly based on some movable and resale assets.
