Among this all, the garments factories located in Sapura, Rajshahi, play a significant role in the economic sector. There are hundreds of workers in the garment factories whose socioeconomic status depends on the improvement and facilities given by them. The objective of the study showed that the socioeconomic and the working environment condition of the garment's workers based on those factors. 68 primary data samples were obtained by questionnaire and physical survey from a population of approximately 16500 with a confidence level of 90% and a confidence interval of 10%. With MS Excel, the data were analyzed, showing graphical representation consisting of pie charts, bar charts, etc. The study focuses on the point that most of the garment workers are satisfied to work here, but some workers claimed their salary to be inefficient for livelihood in their daily life. The medical facility, monthly wages, security purposes, transportation, etc., are one of the biggest obstacles to the socioeconomic status of garment workers. The study will influence the garments factories to intensify the facilities that are given to the workers. This study is an example for other developing garments factories as this shows that not only to increase the number of garments worker in low labor cost but also their inner safety-security, facilities regarding the working environment are necessary for establishing economic prosperity for garments factories.

If the current trend remains, Bangladesh will face more than 50% of urban people of the population by the year 2030. But to ensure properly planned growth and a sustainable living system, residential area (RA) plays a vital role. A properly designed living area consists of adequate housing, planned land use with every type of facilities in one place for the inhabitants. As the capital of Bangladesh, Dhaka faced more haphazard growth than other cities resulting in scattered development and unplanned placement of establishments. Mirpur is one of the major city centers of Dhaka facing the same problem in some sectors. This study aimed to find out the satisfaction level (SL) in each sector in Mirpur based on resident's observation of living. The SL was analyzed based on three environments, i.e. Physical (air, water, and sound quality, temperature and transportation condition), neighborhood (utility features, solid waste management, educational, commercial, medical & recreational facilities and local security) and social (privacy level, religious and community perception) environments. Total 97 samples were collected with a 95% confidence level and a 10% confidence interval. Both primary and secondary data were used. The result showed satisfactory condition in Mirpur DOHS, Cantonment area and moderate satisfying scenario in 10, 13, 14 sectors. The streets are narrow and inadequate conditioned in some areas. Also, the lack of proper electricity supply and occurrence of slum problems are common drawbacks in some sectors. This study reveals that lack of proper planning in an urban expansion leads us to the unacceptable housing system, misplacement of facilities, and improper mixing of residential class. This study will help urban planners and policymakers to redesign the residential areas based on the needs of the residents and to control urban growth more accurately.
