A Spatial Analysis on the Distribution of Socio-economic Facilities in Chittagong
Journal Title: American journal of Engineering Research - Year 2019, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
Adequate and equal distribution of Socio-economic Facilities is one of the major tasks of planning. Major cities of Bangladesh are now facing rapid growth of urban population and such rapid urban growth results a lot of urban problems related to unplanned urbanization (e.g. housing, transport, environmental problems etc.) and creates pressure on existing service and facilities of the urban areas. One of the main reasons behind this growth is the availability and more concentration of Socio-economic Facilities in the city. This study analyses spatial distribution pattern of Socio-economic Facilities (e.g. school, college, hospital and market) in a part of Chittagong district which shows that the facilities are mainly concentrated in the city area. Here, the spatial variation, concentration and disparities in distribution of these facilities within different upazilas adjacent to city corporation and city corporation area of Chittagong district are identified by using the nearest neighborhood method, Location Quotient (LQ) method and Gini Co- efficient. The required number of these Socio-economic Facilities to serve the population of the district is also calculated here through comparing with population threshold standard for facilities. This study shows that all of the selected Socioeconomic Facilities are mainly concentrated in the city corporation area and the upazilas remain underserved.
