Abstract |
For the development of an area as a potential urban center, two broad types of influential factors namely place-based (facilities attract people) and people based (facilities provided after residential agglomeration) factors can be addressed. The present behavior of urban people leads people to gather surrounding the facilities (place bound) but in terms of the developing countries like Bangladesh, the urban people can hardly experience the benefit of place bound factor rather they compelled to live over people bound factor. The ward no. 14 of Dhaka North City Corporation is developed in the later period of the development of Dhaka City. From the analysis of the study area, it is observed that the study area is developed mainly as a residential community and the community people suffer much from the essential urban civic services. Although, some facilities attracted people to live here (e.g. development of manufacturing processing industries in 1981- 1990), the study area has developed mainly as people based urban community development pattern and planning intervention is not ensured into the study area. |
