Rangpur Division in Bangladesh lies near the active Dauki Fault, yet few studies have fully assessed its earthquake risk. Most research focuses separately on hazard or vulnerability, often ignoring mitigation and detailed spatial analysis. This study fills that gap by using a geospatial multi-criteria approach that integrates hazard, vulnerability, and mitigation indicators into one risk assessment model. Employing Geographic...

Dengue, a rapidly spreading mosquito-borne disease, poses a serious public health threat in tropical cities like Dhaka, Bangladesh—one of the world’s most densely populated megacities. In 2023 alone, Dhaka experienced its worst outbreak, recording 321,179 cases and 1,705 deaths. This study aims to assess dengue susceptibility across Dhaka using a geospatial Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) approach. Fourteen environmental...
