Indian Geographers have been working on varied themes like History of Geography in India, Environment and Resource, Geomorphology, Land Use and Agriculture, Rural and Regional Development, Urban Geography, Population Geography, Historical-Cultural Geography, Political Geography, Geography of Gender and Geography of Himalaya. Geomatics has also emerged as a new branch of geography and involves the use of traditional spatial techniques used in cartography and topography and their application to computers. The progress of Indian Geographers in last four years viz. 2012-2016 has been creditable. The focus of Indian geographers has shifted towards the contemporary global issues and initiatives like Disaster Risk Reduction by UNISDR, Sustainable Development Goals, Habitat III by UN, COP21 by UNFCC, Urban Health and Wellbeing, Future Earth Initiative by ICSU and International Year of Global Understanding by ICSU, ISSC and CIPSH. The environmental geographers made much of the contribution in the field of climate change, urban environment, land use change, forest and biodiversity. The themes like water resource, wetlands, mountains, resource conservation and management are other research areas. Under the theme of regional planning and development, geographers have focussed on issues like urban and industrial development, resource scarcity, education, health and service area based regional planning. The issues which dominated the theme of population geography were population composition, fertility trends, migration, health and gender. These are presented in the thematic chapters, sponsored under INSA and edited by Prof. R.B. Singh, Vice-President IGU; contact: rbsgeo@hotmail.com

ABSTRACT Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is a decision making process to analyze environmental impacts.This paper is related to EIA of proposed six kilometer road from Kalishuri to Surjomoni Union at Bauphal, Patuakhali that conducting by Local Government and Engineering Department (LGED). The proposed area is so far behind to good communication facilities within the different parts of this region due to absence of road connecting to other area. The significance of the proposed road involves directly to the people of that region in developing their social, economic and environmental condition.The aims of the study are to find out the potential environmental impacts, mitigation measures and to compute the environmental impact value (EIV) of the project.The key findings of this study include environmental positive and negative impacts mainly decreasing plant biodiversity, hydrology and agricultural lands. The study reveals that the EIV is -1 (negative one) in regarding to three environmental factors named ecological, physico-chemical and human interests. The mitigating options of various impacts on the project are environmental friendly technology, conservation of road side plantation, agricultural lands etc.The EIA helps to complete an environment friendly project by providing sound management on environmental impacts and means of preventing or reducing those impacts. Keywords: Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), Environmental Impacts, Mitigation Measures, Environmental Impact Value (EIV), Road Construction.
This article represents the assessment of environmental impacts, estimation of environmental impact value and environmental management plan of proposed six kilometre road construction project from Kalishuri to Surjomoni union at Bauphal in Patuakhali district. The entire study was conducted straightly in the field visit, Focus Group Discussion (FGD), Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS) and also getting information from union and upazila parishad at Baupahl. Identifying and analyzing the potential environmental impacts, impact value and preparing environmental management plan are the main objectives of this study. The key findings of this study include environmental impacts on vegetation, hydrology, settlement, agricultural land and soil, water and air pollution of the proposed area. The study reveals that the environmental impact value is -1(negative one) regarding three environmental factors named ecological, physic-chemical and human interest. The EMP designed to various compone...

As the Srinagar city is one of a beautiful city in the country with the growth of population the demand of transportation system has been in the greater amount. The prime element of a transportation system is to provide better traffic facility which should not involve congestion, accidents, vague traffic lights and unmannered parking on roads. Presently the Srinagar city faces all these challenges especially in some areas like Lal Chowk, Batamaloo, Pantha Chowk have huge rush of traffic throughout the day because of the reason the Lal chowk is not only commercial hub of city but the famous schools, colleges, government and private offices are located in this area, batamaloo has the largest bus stand in the city which connects the Srinagar to other rural areas of the Kashmir valley and Pantha Chowk connects the Srinagar with national highway-1 by which it connects with rest of India.so there are some factors to deal with transportation problem as follows regulation, planning, designing, enforcement and accident analysis. Through this paper, we will show the present scenario of roads, footpaths and traffic lights in these areas are not up to mark need to be emphasis by showing the statics of vehicle growth and forecasting for future and accident rate to locate the black spots which do not only help in planning but to improve traffic.
