Masum, Fahria

Urban fringe is a dynamic area which changes with span of time. Presently its management has been a complicated issue for a fast growing city, especially in developing countries. Focusing on the case of Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, the study concludes that land management problems are multidisciplinary and not confined to planning problems. Therefore, the paper promotes the idea that for effective land management there should have multidisciplinary approach with special focus on good governance because often in the field of land management the importance of good governance is ignored. Based on the analysis the research argues that there should have proper controlling on planning and its implementation through stakeholder participation.
