dc.description.abstract Though nature's behaviour is predictable most of the time but there are some movements that affect human life or livelihood is termed as natural disasters which are very frequent now a days for Bangladesh. Immature lands [developed due to siltation] are being used for settlements before time so the unique alluvial soil is also being mishandled. Climate change has also become one of the major challenges because of the geographic position and greater reliance on climate sensitive sectors, particularly agriculture. However nature gives the main difficulties, but here in coastal region, nature is only destination also. Almost every year 'natural disasters' cause substantial damage to the basic rights of life, food, health, water, housing etc. This paper aims to understand the 'nature of disaster' and it‘s 'vulnerability', the strength of a land which guides people at the preliminary stage of settlement in the coastal region and present an extensive research of zoning with respect to site, surroundings, hydrology, climate and of course natural disaster focusing on a particular union* of Bangladesh affected by cyclone. However the core issue is most contextual approach focusing the settlement, which promotes the increase of the resilience of a community. en_US
