Recognizing the ever-increasing vulnerability of coastal urban cities in Asia due to climate change impacts and variability and also due to fast-growing urban development, this study focusing on climate disaster resilience is conducted in order to measure the existing level of climate disaster resilience of the targeted areas using a Climate Disaster Resilience Index. The index is developed based on five resilience-based dimensions: natural, physical, social, economic and institutional. The scope of this study is limited to climate-induced disasters, such as cyclone, flood, heat wave, drought and heavy rainfall induced landslide. For each individual city case, resilience information is presented as overall resilience, and separate physical, social, economic and institutional resilience. Higher values of resilience are equivalent to higher preparedness to cope with climate and disasters and inversely. Based on the results, policy points and recommendations are suggested by the authors and provide encouragement of city governments’ engagements in specific cist services, institution and capacity building. Not only are outputs from this study useful for city governments, but they also provide valuable knowledge and information to other local and national stakeholders having a similar target: the enhancement of community resilience.

Mangrove is one of the most magnificent ecosystems of the coastal regions from ecological as well as biodiversity point of view. Mangrove pose real challenge to mapping due to their inaccessibility for field survey in most of the places. Multispectral optical remote sensing offers a tangible solution to this problem. In this study, the remote sensing and GIS were used to delineate and map the mangrove distribution at species level. As distribution of different mangrove species depends on the physico chemical conditions of the substrate, especially the soil salinity, the distribution of threeAvicennis species could be possible using soil salinity gradient. From the present observations, it is revealed that most of the species occupy a zone to which it is best adapted; however, there are overlapping occurrences of different species with varying ecological optima along salinity gradients.
