CHAPTER-01: INTRODUCTION
1.1 Project Background
The growth of urban population in Bangladesh has outpaced the growth of necessary public services
including the water supply, sanitation and solid waste management. The gap between the demand of
these public services and the supply provisions might increase further as experts have warned that
by 2060 the population of Bangladesh might be 230 million (before it stabilize) of which 70 percent
would be living in the urban settlements. Currently, 35 percent of the population of Bangladesh has
concentrated in the urban areas which constitute about 20 percent of the country’s habitable area
and thus population density in urban areas are very high. The situation is further worsened due to
higher poverty rates in these urban areas. The Asian Development Bank estimated that of the 157.90
million population of Bangladesh, 31.5 percent live below the national poverty line (ADB, 2016).
According to the latest estimates, among the urban population 43 percent are poor and 23 percent
are extreme poor (IFAD, 2017). Even in the major cities, a significant proportion of these poor and
extreme poor have limited or no legal rights to the land upon which they have settled. Their dwellings
tend to be poorly constructed, with pathways between homes as narrow as just a couple of feet, and
families occupying every available covered space. A significant portion of poor slum dwellers live in
very challenging environment (low lying area or area prone to landslide), where inadequate and
faulty drainage provision makes them vulnerable to flooding/water logging, and landslide during the
monsoon season. They live a very sub-human life due to lack of access to clean water and sanitation
facilities, land tenure and sufficient space for living/inadequate housing, absence of utility service,
improper waste management, lack of adult education, lack of access of health services etc.
The Chattogram City Corporation (CCC) consists of 41 wards with a total population of 2,582,401
(male 1,360,505 & female 1,221,686). Among these population, about half a million (484,830 people
in 127,436 households) people live in 2,215 slums in this city. Unlike Dhaka city where many slums’
people enjoy WASH benefits, in Chattogram City Corporation, the poor segments are left out from the
formal system of public services. Safe water and hygienic sanitation are important component of
decent urban life. Although the Chattogram City Corporation provides most of the public service, the
Chattogram Water Supply and Sewerage Authority (CWASA) is entrusted with responsibility to
provide the city dwellers with safe water and hygienic sanitation. However, the CWASA faces a
number of challenges to render the services. The challenges are resulted from numerous sources
including unplanned city development, mushrooming of informal settlements, transitioning to using
surface water instead of groundwater, and lack of large investment funding. Despite the challenges,
Page | 4
the CWASA serves the majority of the Low-Income Consumer (LIC) dwellers, many of whom have
unauthorized connections of different utility services. A substantial portion of the more vulnerable
LIC households has minimal or no access to water services. In terms of quality water service delivery
to the Chattogram city LICs, it is observed that mostly the big slums receive support and development
interventions by various organizations, while small slum areas are either ignored or receive limited
support. Initial analysis show that this is due to high risk of evictions and poor accessibility of these
areas. The small slums are scattered through railroad sides or other inaccessible areas, and therefore
do not get enough attention and services. Despite this fact, there are opportunities to provide the
poor slum dwellers/low income consumers with water, sanitation and waste management services
through existing resources under a planned intervention. However there is clear dearth of required
data and information that prohibit the initiation of such intervention. In this backdrop, this
study/assignment is conceived by the UNICEF/CCC where the GPAD would like to come forward with
its expertise to assist the knowledge service procuring entity.
2. To record the characteristics of important slums including: population size; the number of
households; exact locations within wards; major roads, railway lines, embankments and
other important landmarks.
Page | 5
3. To identify the slums in terms of their physical, socio-economic and environmental
characteristics such as water sources, sanitation means, power supply, drainage, access to
roads, occupational patterns, ownership of land or household title, year since founding,
origins of residents and other characteristics.
4. To prepare a data base including all of the aforementioned information on slums and squatter
settlements using GIS software.
5. To prepare an Action Plan with role and responsibility and to recommend a management
structure with suggested support in terms of equipment and capacity development.
To understand the needs and behavior of the Low-Income Consumers in Chattogram Water
Supply and Sewerage Authority's jurisdiction, along with their socio-economic condition;
estimated total population; locations; water supply and sanitation services they get from CWASA
and other stakeholders; process and scenarios of revenue collection; hygiene situation; and other
major challenges.
Finally to recommend an action plan and indicative budget for implementing an on-going, easy-
to- update and user-friendly data collection and management process, which could maintain the
city map as accurate and relevant, so that it can act as an effective tool to assist CWASA's
investment and management planning.

CHAPTER-02: STUDY AREA
2.1 Description of the Project Area
In 1947 the area of the town of Chattogram was only four and half square miles and was centered
around the low and small hillocks which were found scattered all over the city. With rapid
industrialization and development the town soon grew into a city outstripping the old Municipality
area. Chattogram City Corporation descended from the name of Chattogram Municipality which was
founded on June 22, 1863. The initial area of newly formed Municipality was only 6 Sq. Miles and it
divided into 5 wards. On June 27, 1977 Chattogram Municipality was renamed as Chattogram Paura-
Shava and September 16, 1982 the Paura-Shava was upgraded to Municipal Corporation. Later on
July 31, 1990 it was renamed as Chattogram City Corporation and the total area of the CCC is 155.4
sq. km. (60 Sq. Miles) which divided into 41 wards. It has a total population of 25, 63,293 people in
the area (BBS, 2011). Chattogram is the second largest city in Bangladesh also the biggest port city of
Bangladesh which turned this city into the commercial or business city of the country. Chattogram is
also known as the business districts of Bangladesh located close to the coast of Bay of Bengal. The
density of population in the city is about 12040 persons per sq. km. The share of CCC to the total
population to the district is 30.60% (BBS, 2008). Both in industrial and economic consideration it is
the most important city in the country after Dhaka. Presence of sea port in Chattogram provides this
city to become an internationally competitive city in economic and industrial perspectives.

The city also comprises area of small hills and narrow valleys, bounded by the Karnaphuli to the
south, the coastal plain and the Bay of Bengal to the west and the floodplain of the Halda to the East.
The city also comprises area of small hills and narrow valleys, bounded by the Karnaphuli to the
south, the coastal plain and the Bay of Bengal to the west and the floodplain of the Halda to the East
(Figure 2). Most of the hilly areas are found in the Chandgaon, Double Mooring, Pahartali, Khulshi
and Bayezid Bostami Thanas. Hills around the Foy’s Lake area are the most famous hilly area within
the city. Besides, Tiger Pass hill, Battali Hill, CRB hill, Moti Jharna Hill, Court hill, DC Hill etc. are widely
known as the hilly areas of the city.

Figure 2: 3D visualization of Chattogram City Corporation Area
Among the built-up area, Pucca structure occupies 29.82%, semi pucca-58.16% and the rest 12.02%
is kutcha structure. Low lying area between Rajakhali khal and the river Karnaphuli is about 14.49
hectares and occupies 24.69% of the area. Built-up area is about 56.57%, Canals and water bodies
occupy the remaining 18.74% of the area (Ashraf and Chowdhury, 2009).
There were 1,814 slum clusters in Chattogram. Total slum population was 1.46 million, which is 35.4
percent of the total population of the city. Slum communities were located all over Chattogram. The
larger ones, both in terms of area and population, were concentrated mainly in the Pahartoli,
Nasirabad and Kulgaon areas.

CHAPTER-03: APPROACHES AND METHODOLOGY
3.1 Methodology of Field Survey and Plan Preparation
The current chapter explains the approaches and methodologies to be adopted for Urban WASH
Assessment for Chattogram City Corporation. The methodology comprises with the project
objectives, sites, instruments development, process of data collection with the selected sample and
analysis. With the objective of producing, a report is designed with both quantitative and qualitative
methods which triangulated at each level of data collection and analysis considering data validity and
reliability.
Slum Area mapping and identification of vacant land in Chattogram area followed a participatory
method. The Participatory Methodology involved a number of actors who participated in the process
of activities from conceptualization to generating final maps and data base. Maps are usually
prepared by specialized people but used by the authorities at national level, city level and also at the
community level. To understand maps and use them properly it needs careful skills at all levels. Thus,
it was an imperative that each of the stakeholders participates in making maps so that the maps could
be understood easily by all of them. The following are the sequences of activities and the process by
which poor settlements in the study cities and towns were prepared.
In addition to the quantitative survey, qualitative research methods will also be integrated to this
assignment. The main objective of this qualitative study will be to capture a comprehensive and in-
depth depiction of the process of change in the indicators-to-be-measured, which may go unnoticed
in the quantitative research. Especially, due to the structured frame and limited time, quantitative
surveys often fail to perceive the in-depth insights and complexities of the problems that are being
studied and hence present wider, one-dimensional pictures at the expense of the relations and
dynamics behind these.

3.5 Preparation of Base Map using GIS and Image
Preparation of base map is an important requirement for planning and designing of the assigned
project. The base map will be used to create working maps for field surveying, to depict the survey
findings and to prepare planning maps. The base map preparation will be carried out digitally using
GIS technology and the basic GIS software specified in the TOR.
WASA water supply main line, Drainage systems, Sewerage lines CWASA

Water Pump house, Water infrastructures (functioning/non-
functioning), Latrines (functioning/ not- functioning), Waste Field Survey (GPS Survey)
primary collection point, Water bodies used for sludge

3.5.3 Base Map Preparation Using Satellite Images
A base map of a town or city contains boundary major road network, important features such as
physical infrastructure, administrative, economic, social and cultural land marks, etc. on a map so
that one can easily recognize the various locations on maps.
The aim of preparing base map was to produce an accurate and well-illustrated map which can be
used for slum area mapping during the survey. Thus, it was the first step to prepare usable base map
before poor settlements and vacant land survey. The following attempts were made to prepare base
map of Chattogram City Corporation Area.
Collection of a town map from City Corporation. Since the map was not up to date, it was necessary
to be updated properly.
City Corporation map was updated by using most recently available satellite image (Open Source
Google Image) by overlaying collected map of the City Corporation.
Then the city coordinator consulted the Ward Consignor/officials and surveyors regarding the level
of accuracy and adequacy of the map
If found problems, these were corrected again on the basis of opinion and corrections provided by
the City Corporation authority.
The above steps were followed to prepare an updated base map of Chattogram City Corporation.
However, some of the important features and roads could not be accurately overplayed on satellite
image when the map was being processed in GIS lab. Thus, ground truthing was required. Such
ground truthing was carried out during the field survey. This means that the City Corporation base
map was corrected even during survey as well as during the checking phase. Ultimately a correct
base map was prepared.
GPAD would mobilize a core study team for the survey as well as for the processing of survey data
and mapping for each slum settlements in Chattogram City Corporation. The team would also
collected data for each slums by using a pre-designed TAB Based Questionnaire.
Page | 14
3.5.5 Training and Orientation Workshop
The GPAD team will conducted a two-day training program at project office for Surveyor/illuminator,
as these two groups were responsible for slum area mapping and socio-economic based WASH
assessment Survey. The first day training would be limited to class room lecture while on the second
day they would be taken to the field to conduct a Pilot Survey to demonstrate what they had learnt
on the first day. There would be three lecture sessions on the first day. These are:
Aims and objectives of the survey, ethical issues on conducting field survey, nature of the
tasks and responsibilities, and importance of the task.
Procedure of identifying slum area, identification of Water, Sanitation point, Drainage and
Waster dumping point and others WASH relevant information
Procedure of administering TAB based survey process.
In the field training, on second day, they would be taken to the field to conduct a Pilot Survey to
demonstrate what they had learnt on the first day.
After two days training the surveyor teams would be assigned with a particular ward to start the
survey until the survey is completed with full satisfaction.
Page | 15
3.5.7 Final Preparation of Maps and Data Processing
Identified slums would be digitized using GIS techniques. This process involves a number of
consistency checks. In instances where problems or inconsistencies to be identified, the team would
revisit the site for corrections if required more than once. Thus, the maps would be repeatedly
corrected and re-examined until the study leader is fully satisfied that the team offers an accurate
representation of ground conditions.
b) Data entry
Survey data were inputted using a standard data input form which is developed in MS Access. A Match
ID was also prepared in this database according to previously mentioned formula.
e) Finalization of database
After quality checking database were finalized for final map preparation and data tabulation. Ward
level database were also prepared for each ward.
Page | 16
3.6 Analyzing the Data and Prepare Report
All data both quantitative and qualitative as well as secondary data would be analyzed and an
analytically dense report would be prepared in a professional manner.
An easy-to-understand GIS based map of the existing WASH and Waste management service delivery
points in the selected ward of CCC with slum location, Zone wise (CCC) map indicating slum/low
settlement areas and combined map of Chattogram city indicating slum/low settlement areas would
be prepared.

Annex II: Sampling

Survey Sample Size and FGD
The initial sample size n is found to be 384. As the total number of households in the sample frame,
N is 76100, and the level of precision/error margin is 0.05, after correction for finite population
correction formula: (n*N)/(n+(N-1), the corrected sample size is found to be 382. However, taking
5% more sample as precaution against probable bad/non-response (withdrawing from interview
before completion of survey) cases is common. Therefore the final sample size we have taken is:
382+19=401. These 401 households are drawn proportionately from 41 largest slums which might
look as follows.

Total population statistics 355.59 76100 401
Note: * Final number of sample size is 401. For each ward the sample size is obtained by multiplying
the ward HH number by sample factor; 0.00527 (401/76100). Survey samples are proportional to
survey population (no. HH) size.
The study team would conduct focus group discussions with the slum dwellers in slums having more
than 1000 households. The objective of selecting large slums is to ensure diversity of response from
more diverse groups of respondents (in terms varied socio-economic standing). Therefore a total of
18 FGD sessions would be conducted in 18 slums having household more than 1000 in each slum.
The name of slums selected for FGDs are presented below table. Each of the group discussion sessions
will last for about one and half to two hours. The number of people who will participate in the
discussions ranged from ten to twelve and all the group discussions will be recorded with a digital
media.
