Abstract
The article aims to identify how varied factors (e.g., physical and socioeconomical)
behind vulnerability of the urban poor in Dhaka’s low-income settlements interact with each other
to constitute their overall vulnerability. It addresses the complexity of the issues involved which
cannot be understood by having partial look at their vulnerability. Hence, it suggests a ‘whole
systems’ view to understand the underlying phenomenon. Data collected through mixed methods
were analysed using a grounded theory-systems analysis approach. It identifies the reinforcing loops
developed within the systems that strongly promote poverty traps and also identifies ways in which
these vicious circles can be broken.
