Through the tidal gauge data and field investigation it’s have been detected that the local sea level has rise remarkable along this area over the last 30 years. As a result of that the shoreline has been shifted landward and also beaches are narrowing and the entire environment has changed. It has been observed that the front dunes are eroded and also shifted landward at the rate of 6m to 12m/year of this area. Through the field investigation and measuring of erosion data it’s have been remarkable increasing in last decade. The dunes are totally destroyed by increasing wave action at many places. The mangrove forest is totally uprooted and destroyed at Shankarpur, Jaldah sector. The channels banks, fish firms and also agricultural land area are suffering due to coastal inundation. Formation of offshore bar, supply of sediment at the mouth of Subarnarekha River and construction of fishing harbour, new building, associated industry, development of coastal tourism and also deforestation along the coast has aggravated Geo-environmental problems.

The present study is based on both qualitative and quantitative data. The data has been analyzed with the help of simple statistical techniques. The study reveals tremendous growth of banks (ATM) and communication facilities after 1991. The highest concentration of banks (ATM) and communication facilities is on NH-10 due to the presence of a large number of big cities and towns on the other hand NH-8 have the lowest concentration of these services. If the facilities in cities and towns are not taken into consideration then these facilities are the highest on NH-1. Before, 1991 these facilities were available mainly in towns and cities, but after, 1991 there was a wide distribution of these facilities all along the highways (mainly in case of communication facilities). It seems that the volume of traffic directly affected the concentration of these services. It is found that banks (ATM) and communication facilities are mainly concentrated in cities and towns.

At Here-Parvat, rilling and swelling processes produced deeply cracked surface drained by a finely textured network of shallow rills. At Rangamati, rilling and piping are differentially developed on slopes ultimately controlled by basal incision. At Ganganir Danga, vegetation cover is produced a sequence of badland development within which the relative importance of piping, mass failure and rilling varies through the sequence. Plots scale studies were examined and results showed simple overland flow is the dominant process; however, aspect influences rill network density and badland evolution. The factors controlling badland were effective over varying timescales, and implied morphological responses in different time period among the selected badlands.
