Abstract

Flood is a critical issue in Bangladesh. Regular flooding affects 20% of the country, increasing in extreme years. Various measures, policy planning and actions have been taken in different time period. Legislation and policy planning are essential for flood management, which should be guided by distinct policy, strategies, legal frameworks, and action planning. A review of legislative and institutional arrangements is required for effective and sustainable flood management. In this research, the evolution of flood management actions and policies is reviewed considering the related environmental and social changes. The approach to flood management is shifting to a more comprehensive risk reduction effort following environmental changes such as climate change. Extreme floods are increasing. The history of extreme flood management is short compared to that of annual flood management. However, extreme floods have significant impacts. Thus, a holistic approach by all stakeholders is encouraged. This review could help to examine how to increase local involvement in flood control and water management projects.

孟加拉国洪水管理行动和政策规划概述

洪水是孟加拉国的一个关键问题。经常发生的洪水影响了全国20%的地区，在极端年份会增加。在不同时期采取了各种措施、政策规划和行动。立法和政策规划对洪水管理至关重要，应以明确的政策、战略、法律框架和行动规划为指导。为了有效和可持续地管理洪水，需要审查立法和体制安排。在此研究中，我们回顾了洪水管理行动和政策在相关环境和社会变化下的演变。随着气候变化等环境变化，洪水管理的方法正在转向更全面的降低风险的努力。极端洪水正在增加。极端洪水管理的历史较常年洪水管理的历史短。然而，极端洪水有重大影响。因此，鼓励所有利益相关者采取整体方法。这项审查可以帮助研究如何增加地方对防洪和水管理项目的参与。

期刊介绍： The IJPP proposes and fosters discussion on public policy issues facing nation states and national and supranational organisations, including governments, and how these diverse groups approach and solve common public policy problems. The emphasis will be on governance, accountability, the creation of wealth and wellbeing, and the implications policy choices have on nation states and their citizens. This perspective acknowledges that public policy choice and execution is complex and has ramifications on the welfare of citizens; and that, despite national differences, the actions of nation states are constrained by policies determined by supranational bodies, some of which are not directly accountable to any international body.
