Abstract

This paper explores the internal migration of fishers from coastal communities of Bangladesh in response to extreme weather events. It also assesses the vulnerabilities to extreme weather events of these coastal areas, in general, and of targeted fishing communities, in particular. This qualitative study employs a combination of methods, semi-structured interviews and observations, in two villages located in the eastern part of Kalapara Upazila, Patuakhali district of Bangladesh. The results indicate that the participants of the study are susceptible to the vulnerability of extreme weather events due to their households’ socio-economic and geographical location. This study shows that most people from the fishing communities do not migrate to other places to escape from the vulnerabilities as they have high dependency on fish-related activities. Also, there are various socio-economic and cultural factors that hinder their migration, including the Mohajon-Dadon system, migration costs, lack of skills and resources, and fear of income security. Instead of migrating, they develop their own traditional adaptation mechanisms to ensure their survival. These people remain underrepresented and are not adequately recorded in national or regional migration data.
气候变化移民是对极端天气事件的一种调整吗?关于孟加拉国沿海地区的研究1
本文探讨了孟加拉国沿海社区渔民为应对极端天气事件而进行的内部迁徙。它还评估了这些沿海地区,特别是目标渔业社区,对极端天气事件的脆弱性。这项定性研究采用了半结构化访谈和观察相结合的方法,在孟加拉国帕图阿卡利区卡拉帕拉乌帕齐拉东部的两个村庄进行。研究结果表明,由于家庭的社会经济和地理位置,研究参与者容易受到极端天气事件的影响。这项研究表明,大多数渔业社区的人并不是为了逃避脆弱性而迁移到其他地方,因为他们高度依赖与鱼类相关的活动。此外,还有各种社会经济和文化因素阻碍了他们的移民,包括莫哈琼·达顿制度、移民成本、缺乏技能和资源以及对收入保障的恐惧。它们不是迁徙,而是发展自己的传统适应机制来确保生存。这些人的代表性仍然不足,在国家或区域移民数据中没有充分记录。
