Abstract Healthcare waste contains hazardous contaminants which may be responsible for dreadful diseases. Due to inadequate waste management practices, healthcare waste presents a high risk for the physician, nurses, technicians, sweepers, patients, and visitors. It poses serious threats to human health and our surrounding environment. For health safety, it requires specific treatment and better management from the source of generation to the final disposal. For this reason, this study was carried out to assess the present management system of hospital waste from the point of generation to the final disposal in different healthcare establishments (HCEs) of the Sylhet City Corporation (SCC) area. In addition, it was aimed to compare the rate of waste produced in different private and public HCEs. Regarding this, the study included empirical field observation and field level primary data collection by using a questionnaire survey, and formal and informal interviews. It was found that all the HCEs do not follow the environmental safety rules. There is a lack of a dedicated waste management system at all levels of the HCEs. Also, statistical analysis showed the comparison of hazardous and non-hazardous waste production in different HCEs. It was observed that private HCEs are comparatively well in the management system than in government HCEs. Finally, a better management technique was suggested for developing a hospital waste management system in all HCEs in Sylhet City Corporation.

Land is one of the important component on which physical, economical and social development depends. The land capability classification is the grouping of land units into defined classes based on its capability. It is a broad grouping of soils based on their limitations and is designed to emphasize the hazards in different kinds of soils. It serves as a guide to assess suitability to the land for agricultural crops, grazing and forestry. The present study GIS methodology to spatially define recommended sustainable land management regimes over the arid zone based on land capability classification criteria. The land capability classification system as applied in this analysis was based substantially on a classification scheme proposed by [1]. Local agronomists and other agricultural technical personnel consider this classification system more applicable for the arid region. Sustainable development is possible only when management goals and actions are economically viable, feasible and socially acceptable. Keyword: Land capability, Micro-watershed, Sustainable development. Cite this Article Kartic Bera, Pabitra Banik.
