History
The UK-based charity Islamic Relief constructed the settlement on an area of 20 hectares (0.077 sq mi) in July 2008, and worked on providing residents with water and sanitation until the Government of Bangladesh asked it to withdraw in February 2010. Since then the camp site has been managed by the International Organization for Migration.
Facilities
A ten-bed clinic run by IOM provides facility-based delivery services as well as basic emergency obstetric and newborn care. Various NGOs operating the camp also provide madrassas, drinking water, latrines, washrooms, desludging tanks and child friendly spaces. Leda has shops run by Bengali locals as well as Rohingya refugees.
Urban Settlements
Urban settlements, or urbanized areas, are the most populated of the settlement types and usually consist of the largest land area. Urban areas are the most developed of the different types, with advanced infrastructure and many buildings. Urbanized areas are densely populated, mostly non-agricultural areas.
Rural Settlements
The designation of rural settlement status depends on the nation and government that a settlement is in. Rural settlements are smaller populated areas outside of urban areas that have a large amount of agriculture involved in the settlement.
Compact Settlements
Settlements that are close together are called compact settlements, and they can be rural or urban settlements based on how the settlement was designed. Compact settlements consist of structures that were closely built together with residential and commercial areas being zoned away from the agriculture or the environment.
Dispersed Settlements
Dispersed settlements are also known as isolated settlements or scattered settlements. Dispersed settlements are the least populated of the types of settlements and are located in regions of a country that are remote or far away from other settlements of any type.
