Spatial and temporal dynamics of multidimensional well-being, livelihoods and ecosystem services in coastal Bangladesh

Survey on well-being in the context of natural resource use, particularly agriculture, aquaculture, mangroves and fisheries

Abstract

Populations in resource dependent economies gain well-being from the natural environment, in highly spatially and temporally variable patterns. To collect information on this, we designed and implemented a 1586-household quantitative survey in the southwest coastal zone of Bangladesh. Data were collected on material, subjective and health dimensions of well-being in the context of natural resource use, particularly agriculture, aquaculture, mangroves and fisheries.

This research was supported by the Ecosystem Services for Poverty Alleviation (ESPA) programme
