  • Caste in the Same Mold Again: Artisans and the Indignities of Inheritance in Sri Lanka
    CASTE IN THE SAME MOLD AGAIN: ARTISANS AND THE INDIGNITIES OF INHERITANCE IN SRI LANKA A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Aimée Catherine Douglas December 2017 ©2017 Aimée Catherine Douglas CASTE IN THE SAME MOLD AGAIN: ARTISANS AND THE INDIGNITIES OF INHERITANCE IN SRI LANKA Aimée Catherine Douglas, Ph.D. Cornell University 2017 In a context of transforming expectations regarding the who, how, and what of heritage stewardship around the world, this dissertation examines caste’s revitalization through boundary work carried out by a variety of actors and across a range of practical and discursive moments. Through a wide selection of ethnographic vignettes, it analyzes such boundary work around caste from multiple vantage points to illustrate how this category of identification is reproduced in tension with and in the service of neoliberal processes that have shaped Sri Lanka’s “traditional craft industries” since the 1977 implementation of an “open economy policy.” Grounded in two years of ethnographic fieldwork in the country’s central province, the dissertation offers anthropological insight into what happens at the level of everyday experience when the logics of neoliberal economics and democratic egalitarianism become entangled with nationalist investments in heritage on the one hand, and the apparent specters of pre-modern preoccupations with hierarchy and honor on the other. In this majority Buddhist island country, caste among the Sinhalese has long been popularly rejected as an anachronistic and lamentable artifact of pre- colonial society, its public discussion generally avoided to an extreme (Silva and Hettihewage 2001:63).

  • Tourism Governance for Sustainable Heritage Tourism in Sri Lankan
    Tourism Governance for Sustainable Heritage Tourism in Sri Lankan Heritage Destinations Sivesan Sivanandamoorthy This thesis is submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Education and Arts Federation University Australia Ballarat, Victoria Australia Submitted in December 2016 ABSTRACT This thesis investigates tourism governance models for sustainable heritage tourism in Kandy, a world heritage city situated in central Sri Lanka. Additionally, it explains how the success of sustainable heritage tourism has underpinned sustainable livelihoods development from a socio-cultural perspective. The main objective is to find, identify and assess the influence of tourism governance on sustainable heritage tourism in Sri Lanka. Stemming from this approach is the development of a tourism governance model for sustainable heritage tourism in Kandy. This thesis is intended as a response to the challenges of adopting a sustainable livelihoods development approach. Accordingly, it investigates the role sustainable heritage tourism plays in host community development within the context of sociocultural, economic and environmental aspects in Kandy. Employing a qualitative methodological approach, this thesis is underpinned by an interpretive research philosophy. Research data was collected through field-based in- country interviews and open-ended questionnaires as this approach allowed respondents to offer more information and to include their feelings, attitudes and understanding of the subject. Research results from in-country fieldwork reveal that tourism governance models have a major influence on the viability of sustainable heritage tourism at Sri Lankan heritage destinations. Macro-scale and micro-scale factors were found to be influential in tourism governance models. Additionally, sustainable heritage tourism was found to be a persuasive factor in host community development.

  • Chapter 6 Sectoral Situational Analysis
    THE PROJECT FOR FORMULATION OF GREATER KANDY URBAN PLAN Final Report: Vol.2 Main Text CHAPTER 6 SECTORAL SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS 6.1 Transport 6.1.1 General Transport, specifically traffic congestion, is one of the major urban issues in Kandy. There are many factors that aggravate traffic congestion, including (i) the concentration of public facilities in the city centre which generates much traffic, (ii) a limited road network in the mountainous area, (iii) traffic congestion in the town centre mixed with through-traffic on the trunk roads to Kandy and daily traffic inside the city, (iv) traffic bottlenecks at bridges, (v) limited areas designated for parking in the city, and (vi) inappropriate traffic management. Various organisations such as Road Development Authority, Kandy Municipality Council, and Strategic Cities Development Project have conducted studies and implemented projects for the transport sector until recently. In this section, past and present transport plans and projects will be reviewed, and based on lessons learned and experiences, the transport sector’s development orientation that will be in conjunction with regional and city levels will be proposed. 6.1.2 Travel Behaviour in the Heritage Area, Kandy Based on the results of the interview survey, travel behaviour of 2,000 households in the Heritage Area is analysed, and this includes trip purpose, traffic distribution, and travel modes. (1) Trip Purpose The survey results show that the trip purpose of the largest share of respondents is commuting to place of work and business (66%). Meanwhile, some respondents commute to do shopping (14%), go to school (7%), and conduct or attend to business (7%).
