Bangladesh is currently hosting more than one million stateless Rohingya refugees, who fled from the Rakhine State to avoid genocide and serious crimes against humanity persecuted by the Myanmar Army. The newly arrived Rohingyas were accommodated in overcrowded refugee camps in Cox's Bazar District (CBD). The camps are highly vulnerable to landslides, tropical cyclones, flash-flooding, and communicable disease outbreak. Although a number of improvement measures are ongoing, however, no study to date has addressed Rohingyas' self-adopted strategies to mitigate disaster risks. Consequently, this paper aims to explore how refugees cope with risks associated with environmental hazards in the Kutupalong Rohingya Camp in CBD. A mixed-methods research strategy incorporating both quantitative household questionnaire survey and qualitative focus group discussions (FGDs) techniques were applied. In total 250 Rohingya refugees were selected for the questionnaire survey using a stratified random sampling method from camps 17 and 19, and two FGDs (male and female-only) were carried out in camp 13 involving 21 Rohingya participants. Results derived from the study show that responding to early warning systems, storing dried food and medicine, utilising available resources, relocating to safer shelters, and keeping hopes high were some of the coping strategies practised by the respondents. Literacy level imposed a significant impact over respondents' perception to accept various measures. For instance, the probability of storing dried food in preparation for disasters was 4 times higher among literate Rohingya compared to their illiterate counterparts. Similarly, for literate respondents, the probability was 20 times higher to store medicine than for illiterate. Guaranteed distribution of shelter strengthening kits among all refugee households, the inclusion of disaster risk awareness and preparedness training, ensuring safe and dignified return in Myanmar, and global and regional cooperation to address the refugee crisis are some of the propositions recommended in this study for improving Rohingyas' future adaptation strategies in a humanitarian context.

孟加拉国目前收容着超过一百万名无国籍罗兴亚难民，他们从若开邦逃离，以避免种族灭绝和缅甸军队迫害的严重危害人类罪。新来的罗兴亚人被安置在科克斯巴扎尔地区（CBD）人满为患的难民营中。这些营地极易遭受滑坡，热带气旋，洪水泛滥和传染病暴发的影响。尽管正在采取许多改进措施，但是，迄今为止，尚未有任何研究涉及罗兴亚人为减轻灾难风险而采取的自我采用的策略。因此，本文旨在探讨在CBD的库图帕隆罗兴亚难民营中，难民如何应对与环境危害相关的风险。应用了混合方法研究策略，该策略结合了定量家庭问卷调查和定性焦点小组讨论（FGDs）技术。使用分层随机抽样方法，从17和19营地中选出了250名罗兴亚难民进行问卷调查，并在13营中进行了两个FGD（仅男性和女性），涉及21名罗兴亚参与者。该研究得出的结果表明，响应预警系统，存储干粮和药品，利用可用资源，搬迁到更安全的庇护所以及寄予厚望是受访者实践的一些应对策略。识字水平对受访者接受各种措施的看法产生了重大影响。例如，有识字的罗兴亚人储存干粮以备灾的可能性是文盲识字者的4倍。同样，对于有识字的受访者来说，存储药品的可能性比不识字的人高20倍。本研究建议的一些建议旨在确保在所有难民家庭中分发住房加固工具包，包括对灾害风险的认识和备灾培训，确保缅甸安全和有尊严的返回，以及全球和区域合作以解决难民危机罗兴亚人在人道主义背景下的未来适应战略。储存药物的概率比不识字的概率高20倍。本研究建议的一些建议旨在确保在所有难民家庭中分发住房加固工具包，包括对灾害风险的认识和备灾培训，确保缅甸安全和有尊严的返回，以及全球和区域合作以解决难民危机罗兴亚人在人道主义背景下的未来适应战略。储存药物的概率比不识字的概率高20倍。本研究建议的一些建议旨在确保在所有难民家庭中分发住房加固工具包，包括对灾害风险的认识和备灾培训，确保缅甸安全和有尊严的返回，以及全球和区域合作以解决难民危机罗兴亚人在人道主义背景下的未来适应战略。
