Published: January 2024

The article traces the path of the emergence and development of libraries in different historical periods. From ancient times, when it was customary to create libraries at the palaces of kings, to libraries that were located at monasteries; from the period of cultural and educational development, when libraries were part of universities, to libraries as independent institutions. Examples of global experience in designing modern library buildings are given. On the basis of the researched material, a number of factors that influenced the formation of architecture and the transformation of the internal space were determined, with the primary function of preservation to a multifunctional urban center as convenient as possible for the realization of cultural, social needs and ideas. A building with open spaces and areas for communication. Spirituality is the main goal of architecture. Architects and designers, when designing modern library buildings and spaces, often deviate from the strict standards of the volume-planning structure, including recreation areas, exhibition areas, cafes, conference halls, areas with access to electronic media, halls with access to open funds, etc., which are not typical for libraries. A modern library project begins with a concept. The architectural concept of a modern library is a combination of knowledge, architecture, landscape and the wider public environment. The article shows how the evolution of the forms and functions of library buildings under the influence of technical, cultural, social, and economic development of society directly affects the aesthetic and functional renewal of their architectural and artistic diversity and volumetric and spatial environment.

Published: January 2024

In modern design practice, the idea of housing as a hierarchically constructed system, stretching from the world of things in family life to the settlement as a whole, occupies a strong place. The approval of these ideas in real and futuristic projects, in theory and in buildings is a characteristic feature of the recent history of housing creation. Even in the 20s, many architects sought to push the boundaries of housing design to the development of furniture and equipment. Many projects of that and later times are known, in which social and household services are modeled in a residential building and outside it, zones of individual and social activity are marked. The urban planning aspect received an increasingly active expression in housing issues. Thus, the concept of "housing" was significantly expanded, and in the 1960s and 1970s, another more precise definition of this system as a residential environment became widespread. The modern typology of residential buildings is very diverse and has deep historical roots. It covers both the traditional experience in creating housing and the developments of recent years. Since residential construction is one of the most dynamic areas of architectural practice, the process of improvement and development of housing forms is continuous. The very concept of "type of residential building" has received a rather broad interpretation. This is reflected in various classifications of residential buildings found in the literature. The different properties of buildings serve as the basis for distinguishing types of residential buildings. However, the most stable and common signs for determining the type of house are considered to be: superficiality; type of communications providing access to residential units; connection with the ground level.

Officially, malls are defined as "one or more buildings forming a complex of stores representing merchandisers, with interconnected passages that allow patrons to walk from block to block." Unofficially, they are the heart and soul of communities, the backbone of the retail economy, and a social haven for teenagers everywhere. Study of new formats and possibilities of commercial real estate. The most innovative shopping centers today are not at all like their predecessors. While location remains a key real estate factor for shopping centers, differentiated design and structure are becoming increasingly important. Open-air malls contribute significantly to the downtown atmosphere, especially when they combine mixed-use properties. Finally, shopping malls are becoming an increasingly popular alternative format in more mature markets such as the US, especially after the economic downturn, and they were a key driver of growth for many players. In emerging economies such as Brazil, outlet stores are also gaining traction, and we're seeing mall operators experiment with the format as a means of attracting value-conscious consumers and bargain hunters. Transformation of the shopping center through the use of technology and multi-channel strategies. The digital transformation of retail isn't just bad news for malls. On the contrary, it gives shopping centers new opportunities to engage consumers throughout the decision-making journey. There are three main ways that shopping centers use technology: For example, technology can be used to solve one of the biggest problems that shoppers face in a shopping center – finding a parking space. Social interaction and community: Shopping and entertainment centers are becoming places of meeting and communication where people can spend time together with friends and family. They create a community atmosphere and a place where people can enjoy entertainment and activities that contribute to the maintenance of social ties and a positive impact on the psychological state of people.

The hotel industry plays an important role in the modern world of business and tourism. The growing number of international trips, the development of business communications and the increase in demand for comfortable accommodation create prospects for the opening of business hotels. The design of a business hotel is critical to its success and competitiveness in the market. Designing a hotel is a multifaceted task. This is a whole complex of activities: building architecture, interior design and landscaping. All together, it creates a finished image that corresponds to the general idea of the hotel. Designing a hotel requires taking into account many factors: location, capacity, type and class, priority area of activity. The building and territory must strictly comply with sanitary, technical, environmental and other regional norms and rules. When designing city hotels, it is necessary to take into account that the plot should be close to the central part of the city, but preferably not on a noisy street. A great convenience is the proximity of the train station, shopping and cultural institutions. It is very important that there is a park, garden or hotel square nearby. A successful business hotel should have a strategic location, efficient design, high-quality infrastructure and improved services. Demand for hotel buildings increases when cities become attractive to tourists and attract large numbers of visitors. The main design task is to competently place and connect different functional areas in order to, on the one hand, avoid technological problems during the operation of the hotel, and on the other hand, to create a cozy and attractive interior space, as well as beautiful facades , which are remembered. The hotel is a place for short-term stay of guests of the city. It is important that the hotel has the ability to provide various services, such as recreation, holding conferences, organizing business meetings, holding various public events, exhibitions, festivals, press conferences, as well as opportunities for sports and providing communication via telephone and electronic devices. The hotel is the most significant component of the tourism industry and affects the volume of domestic and foreign tourism in the country. The hotel building should attract attention and be remembered. When planning a hotel, it is important to develop a unique concept with an attractive interior and exterior layout. In order to obtain a competitive advantage in the hotel industry, it is necessary to constantly adapt to the changing needs and expectations of customers, to improve the quality of hotel design and construction in accordance with the requirements of the city or country.
TRYPILLIA. CONNECTION OF CULTURES THROUGH THE CENTURIES. SECRETS, HYPOTHESES, DISCOVERIES

Published: January 2024

The article discusses the main issues related to the problem of studying and understanding the Trypillia culture. The author analyzed the subject heritage and studied scientific and folklore sources on the Trypillia culture itself and on similar cultures both in geographical and temporal aspects. The article is for informational purposes only. The author shows the connection between traditions in Neolithic architecture and modern architecture, and convinces us of the similarity in solving the problems set before the builders of the past and present. He puts forward his theories explaining the mysteries of Trypillia culture. One of the most important qualities of an architect is the ability to put himself in the role of a user. When designing, each time “guide” yourself through the imagined building. It must be remembered that the measure of any architecture is a person. The ancient Greeks called architecture the “third skin.” All sizes and proportions were subordinated to man, in harmony with his nature and the surrounding nature. Using the example of Neolithic culture, the author tries to restore lost traditions, make architecture less abstract and closer to the direct user - man. For the first time in a study of the culture of Tripoli, the features of this civilization were not only identified, but also the reasons for the emergence of these features were reasonably explained. An attempt was made to travel through time in a way. Through studying the origins of civilizations comes an understanding of the very essence of things, the very essence of architecture. Teaching a student not to mindlessly copy the architectural heritage, but to master the skill of understanding architecture is the most important task. And, the author, using the example of Trypillia, brilliantly shows the logic of the architectural decisions of the Trypillia people, their truthfulness and spontaneity in traditions, in art and in architecture. And it is precisely this approach that is most tenacious. It is because of truthfulness that architectural solutions and construction technologies of the Neolithic era are still alive.

This article focuses on researching the issues related to the limited mobility of the population and its impact on the architectural environment of contemporary cities. This topic is becoming increasingly relevant in the modern world, where mobility plays a crucial role in ensuring the comfort and sustainability of urban life. In the context of growing limited mobility, driven by various factors such as demographic changes, increased transportation burdens, and shifts in mobility preferences, the design of the architectural environment significantly influences the quality of life for urban residents. Our article is aimed at a thorough examination of this issue and identifying pathways to its resolution. The objective of our article is to analyze the impact of limited mobility on the development of urban architecture and the creation of an inclusive environment. We seek to understand how the restricted mobility of the population can affect urban planning and design, as well as explore methods for adapting the architectural environment to meet the needs of individuals with limited mobility. The results of this research will help identify areas where improvements in urban design are needed to make it more accessible and comfortable for individuals with limited mobility. This can contribute to a more inclusive and sustainable urban planning. In our work, we relied on a variety of literary sources, including works on architecture, urban planning, and research in the field of mobility and social inclusion. We also conducted an analysis of data and the experiences of cities that have successfully implemented innovative solutions to address the needs of individuals with limited mobility.

The cutting fluid is important in any metal cutting operation, for chilling the cutting tool and the surface of the work piece, by lubethe tool-work pieceinterface and removing chips from the cutting zone. Freshly, many researchers have been focusingon Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL) among the many methods existing on the aapplicationof the coolant as it reduces the usage of coolant by jetting a mixture of compressed air and cutting fluid in an improved way instead of flood cooling. The MQL methodhas been incontestable to be appropriate as it fulfills the requirement of ‘green’ machining. In the currentstudy, firstly, various lubrication methods were introduced which are used in machining processes, and then, basic machiningprocesses used in manufacturing industries inturning.The comprehensive reappraisal of various Nano fluids(NFs) used as lubricants by different researchers for machining process is presented. Based on the studies, it can be concluded that utilizing NFs as coolant and lubricant lead to lower tool temperature, tool wear, higher surface quality, and less biology dangers. However, the high cost of nanoparticles, need for devices, agglomeration, and deposit are stillchallenges for the NF applications in metalworking operations.At last, the article identifies the opportunities for using NFs as lubricantsin the future. It should be stated that this work offers a clear guideline for utilizing MQL and MQL-nanofluidapproaches in turning processes. This guideline shows the physical, tribological, and heat transfer mechanisms associated withemploying such cooling/lubrication approaches and their effects on different machining quality characteristics such as tool wear, surface integrity, and cutting forces.

Research on the Various Forms of Risks in Banking Systems and the Current Regulatory System
Authors:   University of London, Gao Jun
Published: January 2024

Since banks occupy a central position in the current global financial system, they play a main role in promoting the development of financial markets and even entire economies. Since banks suffer great losses from the risks caused by borrowers’ potential defaults on the loan when they lend to individuals or institutions, credit risk is normally considered to be the main risk type in the daily operations of banks, while other forms of risk are paid slightly less attention or are completely ignored. The banking industry has undergone many significant changes over the decades, which resulted from the reform of its business model, the emergence of advanced technology, and the improvement of laws and regulations. Therefore, the evolving environment eventually leads to many other forms of risk, which may also result in bank failure and even trigger financial contagion and a global financial crisis. This paper will elaborate on various forms of risk facing banks and corresponding management measures and then discuss whether regulators should exclusively consider credit risk. Although I agree with regulators that credit risk has received more attention in the past, I am sure that each financial crisis contributes to improving their views of the financial system and the complex nature of associated risks. This paper also describes the current regulatory system and provides recommendations on how regulators can efficiently regulate, supervise and support the activities of all financial institutions by creating more robust mechanisms for enforcing regulations.
Investigation of the parameters of a centrifugal pump working with a surfactant drag-reducing solution
Authors:   Thuyloi University, Viet Nam, Nguyen Ngoc Minh
Published: January 2024

Flow resistance can be significantly reduced by adding a surfactant to the flow. As the flow resistance decreases, the pump performance also changes. In this study, the characteristic curve of the centrifugal pump was determined experimentally. The test was performed on solutions with different surfactant concentrations of 200 ppm and 400 ppm. The experimental results show that the total head of the pump for the case of a surfactant solution is greater than that when working with tap water. The efficiency of the pump for surfactant solutions also increases, but the shaft power for the case of surfactant solutions decreases compared to that for tap water.

Authors:   Department of Biotransformation Technology, Institute of Tropical Biology, Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology, Bach Ngoc Minh
Published: January 2024

Introduction: Bagasse in the sugar industry contains a large amount of nutrients and is a very good source of organic fertilizer for plants. However, the main component of sugarcane bagasse is cellulose, which is difficult to decompose. In this study, natural cellulose-degrading bacterial strains were isolated and selected. Methods: Bacteria were isolated from sugarcane bagasse in an environment containing carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC). The cellulase activity of microorganisms is reflected by the size of the halo zone on the medium containing CMC. Results: Among the 8 isolates, three bacterial strains had strong resolving power (halo zones ≥ 20 mm). The strain with the maximum cellulolytic zone diameter was BH01, which exhibited the maximum zone of clearance around the colony with a diameter of 40 mm. The results of molecular identification showed that BH01 is a Bacillus amyloliquefaciens species with 100% similarity to the NICB. The optimal growth conditions for the BH01 strain were a pH of 7 and a temperature of 30°C. Conclusion: Isolated bacterial strains with good cellulose degradation ability can be applied in practice.

In high-speed rarefied gas flow simulations, the linear constitutive relations of the classical Navier-Stokes-Fourier (NSF) equations are no longer successfully applied. In the present work, the two-dimensional nonlinear coupled constitutive relations (NCCR) model of the monatomic gas in an algebraic-type form is successfully implemented in the rhoCentralFoam in OpenFOAM to simulate the high-speed rarefied gas flows. Methods: This solver initially resolves the NSF equations using high-resolution central schemes in the finite volume method. The implicit NCCR model is solved by the iterative process with the initial values from the linear constitutive relations of the NSF model. After the convergence, these nonlinear constitutive relations are embedded in the NSF equations to continue the solution. Results: This new modified solver would be validated for the argon gas flows past a circular cylinder in cross-flow at Mach of 5 and Kn = 0.05 and the sharp leading edge flat plate at Mach of 4 and Kn = 0.0042. Conclusion: The simulation results show that the NCCR model agrees well with the DSMC data for the temperature contours for both cases and the temperature and velocity along the shock stand-off distance and is better than the NSF model in the high-speed rarefied gas simulations for the circular cylinder case.

Charity is always encouraged all over the world. This humanitarian behavior shows the human value between people and helps society become better, which is in line with the spirit of the thousands of generations of Vietnamese people: “lá lành dùm lá rách - the leaves protect the tattered ones”. However, besides the positive aspects achieved so far, this activity in recent years has shown many negative behaviors that distort the inherent good nature of charity activities. The violations of the law in charity activities stem from many different reasons, such as the fact that legal system governing charity in Vietnam is still incomplete and ineffective. The Vietnamese government has not yet enacted a law on charitable organizations; charity activities are mainly governed by sub-law documents such as government decrees (Decree No. 93/2021/ND-CP issued on October 27, 2021, on mobilizing, receiving, distributing, and using voluntary contributions to support overcoming difficulties caused by natural disasters, epidemics, and incidents; support patients with critical illnesses). Besides, the issue of social consciousness and the impacts of the economic and social context are also causes leading to many inadequacies in charity. In particular, during the period of the COVID -19 epidemic and after, many people took advantage of the difficult situation to illegally earn money from charity activities. The consequences of these illegal actions have affected the community's trust in philanthropists and charitable organizations. In this article, the authors are going to focus on analyzing the legal regulations on charity activities in Vietnam and some of the current issues that have taken place in the last 5 years. On the basis of theoretical analysis, situation analysis, and comparison with legal regulations in some countries around the world (such as Canada and Germany), this article will offer some solutions to strengthen legal regulations and improve their effective control over philanthropy in Vietnam.

Information and communication technologies have been creating new consumption habits. Especially, after COVID-19 pandemic, online transactions become popular and using online travel agent platforms such as Booking.com, Agoda, Trip.com, Traveloka has also been a widespread practice for Vietnamese tourists. Actively participating in online travel agent platforms enables tourists to contribute their knowledge and expertise throughout the service process to co-create service value. The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of perceived effectiveness of e-commerce institutional mechanisms on customer stickiness under the mediation role of customer value co-creation on e-commerce platforms. Based on service dominant logic, the proposed research model includes 9 constructs and 15 hypotheses that mainly focuses on the relationship among customer value co-creation, perceived effectiveness of e-commerce institutional mechanisms and customer stickiness. This model is validated by data collected from 258 Vietnamese tourists who used any online travel agent platform. The results show that: (1) customer value co-creation is influenced by perceived effectiveness of e-commerce institutional mechanisms, customer experience quality, customer perceived ease-of-use, customer-to-customer interaction quality and customer perceived service climate; (2) customer value co-creation influences customer stickiness, customer empowerment and customer perceived value. Factors in the validated model explain 52.8% of the variance of customer stickiness. This study contributes to the growing service research an empirical evidence which affirms the importance of perceived effectiveness of e-commerce institutional mechanisms for value co-creation and of value co-creation on customer stickiness in ecommerce services. It adds to the existing literature by proving that an institution-based trust lever like perceived effectiveness of e-commerce institutional mechanisms can initiate other resources to jointly lead to customer value co-creation on e-commerce platforms. Managers in the tourism field can use these results as references to develop solutions improving customer stickiness through fostering customer value co-creation.

Do board characteristics affect the choices on capital structure of Vietnamese firms?
Authors:   Thu Dau Mot University, Binh Duong, Vietnam, Nguyen Chien
Published: January 2024

Businesses play an important role in the economy of most countries. Businesses have a role in generating the output of the economy, in jobs and investments, and in contributing to the national budget. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the impact of corporate governance on the capital structure choice of real estate and construction companies listed on the Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi Stock Exchanges in the period 2007 - 2020. Using panel data regression methods such as Pooled OLS, FEM and REM, and at the same time evaluating the defects in the estimated model, if this occurs, the feasible generalized least squares (FGLS) is selected. In addition, the study evaluates the invariance of enterprises over time. The research results show that factors that do not affect the choice of capital structure are the size of the board of directors and the independence of the board of directors. At the same time, firm size and macro-economic factors such as economic growth (GDP) and consumer price index (CPI) have no influence on the choice of capital structure. The study also confirms that firms with high financial performance often prioritize the choice of equity structure, and an increase in female members in the Board of Directors affects the choice of equity structure in the enterprise while an increase in male members in the Board of Directors has a positive influence on debt choice in enterprises. Further, increasing the operational capacity of the Board of Directors helps the business receive more criticism and thus makes the enterprise more inclined to choose equity. The study also confirms that firms with high liquidity often seek equity financing, while firms with low liquidity often seek debt financing.

The study was carried out in Pangaringan Village, which is a producer of Jenitri seeds that are shipped to China and India. The buyer sets both the price and the quality; Jenitri seeds that the buyer deems subpar are sold for extremely low prices. The purpose of this study is to expand on the health advantages of Jenitri seeds by creating accessories with a variety of styles and combining them with other locally available natural components. This study employed a participatory descriptive research design, wherein the research team creates possibilities for craftspeople to develop. The findings of the study demonstrate that other materials, including wood, stone, bone, and others, can be used to design Jenitri seeds. A distinct appearance is produced by the mix of materials with Jenitri seeds, including the accessory's color scheme. It takes constant passion and creativity to create this design in line with different societal advancements. As a result, this study highlights the value of strong moral character in Jenitri seed farmers, who are also artisans. It is implied that growers have other revenue streams, such as sales of accessories and exports of raw materials (Jenitri seeds that haven't been turned into accessories). In addition to attending seminars and exhibits, growers make the most of the interim period between planting and harvesting by putting different types of janitri seed accessories into practice.

Through individual interviews, the current study explored how advocates managed their exposure to traumatic events and how they believed it impacted them professionally and personally. Nine victim advocates were interviewed, and principles of thematic analysis were used to code the interviews and analyze the data. From the interviews three major themes emerged related to STS: worldview shifts, secondary traumatic stress symptoms, and burnout. Two major themes emerged related to prevention: colleague support and recognizing successes. Conclusions: Advocates are a particularly vulnerable population of helping professions that are at risk for STS. Increased awareness and acknowledgement of their work will be an important component of intervention efforts. Supporting the needs of novice advocates will be necessary to allow people to sustain in their career, and to be better positioned to support survivors of violent crimes.

Стаття присвячена проблемі розкриття ролі соціально-гуманітарних дисциплін у процесі духовно-морального і патріотичного виховання студентів спеціальності соціальна робота в умовах воєнного стану (кафедра соціології та соціальної роботи НУ «Львівська політехніка»). Розглянуто специфіку професії «соціальний працівник», її значущість для суспільства, соціальну місію працівника соціальної сфери в умовах воєнного стану. Розкрито потенційні можливості таких соціально-гуманітарних дисциплін, як «Соціальна педагогіка», «Міжособистісне спілкування», «Вступ до спеціальності «Соціальна робота» щодо розкриття та розвитку духовного-морального потенціалу особистості студента, патріотичного виховання. Проаналізовано відповіді студентів першого курсу щодо їхньої мотивації відносно вибору майбутнього фаху, їх уявлення про професію соціальний працівник. Представлено враження студентів, їх думки, міркування після перегляду кінострічок «Мати Тереза», «Хористи», які стосуються їхньої майбутньої професії. Розглянуто найважливіше завдання та психологічні особливості роботи соціального працівника з ветеранами та військовослужбовцями під час воєнного стану і особливо у повоєнний період. Розкрито поняття духовно здорова особистість, представлена модель духовно здорової людини, розглянуто психолого-педагогічні та соціальні якості, які необхідно формувати у майбутнього соціального працівника.

Зазначено, що саме дисципліни соціально-гуманітарного циклу, відповідні соціально-педагогічні та духовні технології, синергетична взаємодія зі студентами активно сприяють духовно-моральному і патріотичному вихованню студентської молоді.

У статті розглянуто поняття «ризикована поведінка» у ракурсі такої її форми як вживання психоактивних речовин. За мету поставлено вивчення гендерних відмінностей у проблемах, обумовлених ризикованою поведінкою, пов’язаною із вживанням алкогольних напоїв серед студентів. В ході дослідження було проаналізовано, як трактують здоровий спосіб життя юнаки і дівчата, якими є відмінності в їхніх уявленнях про здорову поведінку, як це впливає на порушення параметрів здорового способу життя, а саме на вживання психоактивних речовин (алкоголю). Емпіричне дослідження особливостей вживання алкогольних напоїв та ставлення до них у сучасних українських студентів дозволило зробити висновок про наявність відмінностей серед взірців ризикованої поведінки у студентів різної статі. Досить часто молоді люди вважають нормою зловживання алкогольними напоями та не замислюються про негативні наслідки звички регулярного їх споживання. Спираючись на результати наших досліджень, можемо стверджувати, що існує більша схильність до ризикованої поведінки серед студентів чоловічої статі. Це підтверджується різними думками щодо дози, частоти вживання алкогольних напоїв, а також ставленням до здорового способу життя. В перспективі планується провести якісне соціологічне дослідження, розробити, обґрунтувати та апробувати програму психопрофілактичної роботи.
ПІДГОТОВКА МАЙБУТНІХ СОЦІАЛЬНИХ ПРАЦІВНИКІВ ДО СОЦІАЛЬНО-ПЕДАГОГІЧНОГО СУПРОВОДУ СІМ'Ї

У статті доводиться, що проблема соціально-педагогічного супроводу сімей соціальними працівниками залишається актуальною для вивчення теорії і практики формування професійної готовності бакалавра соціальної роботи до такого виду професійної діяльності. Встановлено, що соціальні працівники, на яких покладається виконання соціального супроводу родин, достатньою мірою не обізнані зі специфікою процесу взаємодії з певною категорією сімей, не знають їх особливостей, не володіють відповідними технологіями розв’язання тих чи інших проблем життєдіяльності, що, у свою чергу, не дозволяє забезпечити належний рівень соціально-педагогічної допомоги конкретній сім’ї. Обґрунтовано, що при роботі з кожною категорією сімей бакалавр соціальної роботи повинен мати знання про сутність, типологію сімей і, відповідно, особливості виховання та підходів до вихованців у своїй професійній діяльності. Розроблено та обґрунтовано необхідні педагогічні умови, що визначають результативність процесу формування готовності майбутніх соціальних працівників до соціально-педагогічного супроводу сімей: розробка та реалізація навчального спецкурсу «Соціально-педагогічний супровід сім`ї»; використання інтерактивних методів у вивченні обов'язкових навчальних дисциплін; оволодіння майбутніми соціальними працівниками навичками соціально-педагогічного супроводу сімей на основі інтеграції теоретичної та практичної підготовки.

To explore long-term changes in land use and land cover (LULC), cropping systems, and driving forces of LULC change, a study was carried out in Subarnachar upazila under the Young Meghna Estuarine Floodplain in Bangladesh. For studying LULC change and cropping systems, images from Landsat (TM) of 1989, Landsat (ETM+) of 2000 and 2010, and Landsat (Oli) of 2019 were used. A focus group discussion (FGD) was conducted to gather information on actors driving LULC changes. In the study area, five LULC categories—cropland, accreted land, settlements, mangrove forests, and water bodies were found. It reveals that cropland increased by 0.20% annually, while water bodies, accreted land, and mangrove forest decreased by 0.29, 0.17, and 0.23%, respectively. Settlements grew relatively at a faster rate (0.49%). The major land conversions between 1989 and 2019 were cropland to settlement (10.2%), mangrove forest to settlement area (3.2%), and mangrove forest to cropland area (4.0%). Other transformations included the shifting of accreted land to cropland and water bodies to settlements. From 1989 to 2019, double cropland increased by 0.71% annually due to the conversion of single to double cropland. Increased population pressure, especially for those displaced by the threat of river erosion, was a major factor in the conversion of cropland and mangroves into settlements. Due to the high demand for food in the study area, mangrove forests were converted to cropland and single cropland to double cropland more rapidly. These findings will assist farmers, stakeholders, and planners in developing and implementing optimal land use planning and sustainable agricultural production strategies in the region.
