The present study focuses on the characteristics of human adjustment strategies to cope with river bank erosion hazard among inhabitants of the Jamuna floodplain of Bangladesh. Based on a sample survey of 547 randomly selected households, the study found that the strategies taken at the community level fall in the preventive category while at the individual level adjustment measures were more of the corrective type. Overall, such patterns are indicative of a divergent goal and role of individual and institutional measures to minimize hazard loss.
