Abstract

The rural and natural areas are diminishing with the flow of urbanization. Villages are being turned into metropolitan areas. The case focuses on Zinda Park rural community eco-park complex which is located near the capital, Dhaka, close to Purbachal which is a government project of Rajdani Unnayan Kartripakka (RAJUK). With the wave of development, the Zinda village where the park is located along with the other surrounding villages is affected by urbanization. The park was built with the motive of social welfare and the development of the livelihood of the local people. The article discusses how the community works and helps the society by sharing a certain portion of revenue generated from the park. Its aim is to save the environment by developing the social condition of the villagers and this was achieved through the strong determination of the founder(s). RAJUK has been trying to acquire the park along with the village with the purpose of development; however, the locals have voiced strong protest against it. This article also explains how the Zinda community eco-park complex survived these difficulties with help of the villagers and other stakeholders.
