Figure 09: Phase A of Site Selection Phase B An intensive Biosphere Reserve (Kratzer, 2018) analysis was performed further to narrow down the choices of these six zones. In addition to this study, an examination of the road system, the location of already established tourist attractions, and the finding of communities where birds live without fear despite the presence of humans were conducted. Places that may add to pollutants or damage the wetland's natural environment were specifically avoided. The core area, buffer zone 1, and buffer zone 2 were established based on the principles of the Biosphere Reserve concept (UNESCO 2022). For the purpose of site selection, these labels were placed on the current location. A subset of the first six zones was removed after taking into consideration the road network and the minimal distance from the wetland. The remaining locations were reduced according to their closeness to tourist hotspots and established communities. This decision was made with the goal of minimizing impacts on the local bird population without completely cutting off access to the outdoors and the wetland. In addition to allowing new arrivals to immerse themselves in the natural environment, the selected zones also provided accommodation options alongside the existing ones, thereby minimizing disruption to the birds' habitat and ensuring harmonious coexistence (Figure 10). © 2023 Global Journals 1 Year 2023 35 Global Journal of Science Frontier Research Volume XXIII Issue ersion I VV ( H ) Interpreting the Haor Eco-System through Sustainable Design: Haor (Wetland) Eco-Interpretation Center, Moulvibazar, Sylhet, Bangladesh
