The fishermen of Nijhum Dwip in Noakhali, Bangladesh have lived in an extremely dynamic environment facing tropical cyclones, tidal surges, embankment erosion and salinity intrusion that affect life and livelihood options. This study was conducted to identify human, physical, financial, natural and social assets for analysing fishing community resilience. Landsat TM imagery and asset database of 25 thematic layers were analysed with ENVI and GIS capabilities to identify and prioritise the resilience of coastal fishing community. The resilience assessment focussed on 25 basic criteria, and the weights were determined by a pairwise comparison matrix of Analytical Hierarchy Process according to the effectiveness of the criteria. The study identified natural assets with 48% importance as the most significant in fishermen resilience. The vector of effectiveness indicated that human, financial and social assets showing importance of 18%, 15% and 13% respectively are moderately significant, where the physical asset with only 5% importance is the least significant in fishermen resilience. The results suggest that natural assets with experienced human resource and financial support as well as excellent social relationship are the appropriate option for enhancing coastal fishing community resilience to withstand climate change disaster events.
