Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationships between climate change, economic disasters, disaster management, and sustainability in the coastal areas of Bangladesh. Specifically, it aims to investigate how disaster management mediates the impact of economic disasters on sustainable embankment and economic sustainability, providing insights for enhancing resilience in these vulnerable regions.

Method

This study employs a quantitative research approach to analyze the relationships among climate change, economic disasters, disaster management, and sustainability in coastal areas of Bangladesh. Data collected through structured surveys administered to key stakeholders in the region, including local residents, government officials, and disaster management experts. To analyze the data, Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used.

Findings

The results show that climate change has a positive (β = 0.277) and statistically (p value < 0.05) significant impact on economic disasters in coastal areas, and disaster management is also significantly (β = 0.172, p value < 0.05) related to mitigating economic disasters. Furthermore, the result demonstrates that disaster management has a positive impact on sustainable embankment (β = 0.145) and sustainable economy (β = 0.150) development. Moreover, the authors also find that disaster management significantly (p value < 0.05) mediates the relationship between economic disaster and sustainable embankment and economy development. These findings highlight the necessity for policymakers to give integrated disaster response plans and resilient infrastructure funding top priority in order to improve coastal regions' sustainability and economic stability.

Originality value

This study contributes to the existing body of knowledge by highlighting the direct relationship between embankment resilience and sustainable economic growth and how both can assist lessen the ongoing impacts of climate change. Moreover, this relationship offers the groundwork for policy interventions specific to Bangladesh's coastal regions by highlighting the significance of infrastructure resilience in mitigating economic disasters.

可持续堤防促进可持续经济：气候变化对沿海地区经济灾害的影响

本研究的目的是研究孟加拉国沿海地区的气候变化、经济灾害、灾害管理和可持续性之间的关系。具体而言，该研究旨在探讨灾害管理如何调节经济灾害对可持续堤防和经济可持续性的影响，为增强这些脆弱地区的复原力提供见解。方法采用定量研究方法，分析孟加拉国沿海地区气候变化、经济灾害、灾害管理与可持续发展之间的关系。通过对该地区主要利益相关者（包括当地居民、政府官员和灾害管理专家）进行结构化调查收集的数据。采用结构方程模型（SEM）对数据进行分析。结果表明，气候变化具有显著的正相关（β = 0.277）和显著的统计学意义(p值<；0.05)对沿海地区经济灾害的影响显著，灾害管理也显著(β = 0.172， p值<；0.05)，与减轻经济灾害有关。灾害管理对河堤可持续发展（β = 0.145）和经济可持续发展（β = 0.150）具有正向影响。此外，作者还发现灾害管理显著(p值<；0.05)在经济灾害、可持续堤防与经济发展之间起中介作用。这些发现强调了决策者必须优先考虑综合灾害应对计划和弹性基础设施融资，以提高沿海地区的可持续性和经济稳定性。独创性价值本研究通过强调堤防弹性与可持续经济增长之间的直接关系以及两者如何有助于减轻气候变化的持续影响，为现有知识体系做出了贡献。此外，这种关系通过强调基础设施复原力在减轻经济灾害中的重要性，为孟加拉国沿海地区的政策干预奠定了基础。

期刊介绍： Environmental Development provides a future oriented, pro-active, authoritative source of information and learning for researchers, postgraduate students, policymakers, and managers, and bridges the gap between fundamental research and the application in management and policy practices. It stimulates the exchange and coupling of traditional scientific knowledge on the environment, with the experiential knowledge among decision makers and other stakeholders and also connects natural sciences and social and behavioral sciences. Environmental Development includes and promotes scientific work from the non-western world, and also strengthens the collaboration between the developed and developing world. Further it links environmental research to broader issues of economic and social-cultural developments, and is intended to shorten the delays between research and publication, while ensuring thorough peer review. Environmental Development also creates a forum for transnational communication, discussion and global action. Environmental Development is open to a broad range of disciplines and authors. The journal welcomes, in particular, contributions from a younger generation of researchers, and papers expanding the frontiers of environmental sciences, pointing at new directions and innovative answers. All submissions to Environmental Development are reviewed using the general criteria of quality, originality, precision, importance of topic and insights, clarity of exposition, which are in keeping with the journal''s aims and scope.
