Purpose: Community-accessible and context-sensitive rural healthcare with minimum training facilities is a vital issue in Bangladesh especially for pregnant and lactating mothers and children. However, the present practice of the healthcare system doesn’t meet the context-specific issues.

Issue: The typical practice shows that improper facilities, functional arrangements and physical qualities ignore the minimum behavioural and social needs of the local community, lack of accessibility of nutrition and health knowledge and emergency response.

Objectives: The objective of the thesis is to rethink rural healthcare through the lens of an inclusive built environmental perspective which will focus on the need, behaviour and practice of the target community to achieve community resilience. Methodology: This thesis investigates the behavioural pattern and belief system of the health issues in the built environmental perspective of the local communities, NGOs, doctors and healthcare workers of Chitolmari Union, Bagerhat.

Outcomes: Based on stakeholders’ feedback, built-environmental analysis will show the possible inclusion achieved.
