  • 10 3.0. INFERENCES and ANALYSIS the Rail Travel in the Coastal Belt
    10 3.0. INFERENCES AND ANALYSIS The rail travel in the Coastal belt from Colombo to Matara is about 32% of the total passenger traffic. The congestion on the roads is very heavy in the suburbs of Colombo and within the City limits. The study on change of patterns and present trends in the interaction of public transport, revealed the problems, deficiencies and limitations encountered and these have been analysed in the following paragraphs. 3.1 Existing Traffic The existing traffic vehicular volumes over the A2 highway varies with the distance from Colombo. From the studies done for the Southern transport corridor project the following pattern is observed, fig.3.1(a) (Appendix 11). (a) Over 40,000 v.p.d. on the approaches to Colombo (bi Up to 15,000 v.p.d. as far as Kalutara {cL Between 6500 and 10,000 v.p.d. as far as Galle. (di Around 4500 - 5000 v.p.d. beyond Galle. It is also noted that higher volumes are observed locally in the vicinity of urban areas, fig 3.1(b) (Appendix 11). The overall journey time to Matara for a car is 3 hr. 45 min while for express bus is 4 hrs. 30 min. The average rural road speed of around 40 kph up to Aluthgama and 50-60 kph beyond is observed however in urban areas such as Panadura, Aluthgama, Ambalangoda, Hikkaduwa and Galle the speed is reduced further. In some of these towns such as, Panadura, Ambalangoda, and Galle although by passes have been constructed, their purposes have been since lost, due to permitting commercial activities to flourish on either side.

  • Challenges in Implementing Best Practices in Involuntary Resettlement a Case Study in Sri Lanka
    Challenges in Implementing Best ChALLengeS in impLementing BeSt pr Practices in Involuntary Resettlement A Case Study in Sri Lanka Infrastructure projects sometimes physically displace households and disrupt income sources and livelihoods. The Asian Development Bank offers several good governance practices to its borrowers to minimize such adverse impacts, especially since the absorption of such best practices by countries is usually slow and erratic. This book presents an in-depth case study from a complex and sensitive infrastructure project in Sri Lanka, where international best practices in involuntary resettlement were successfully merged with local legal systems. The book demonstrates that the application of best practices to infrastructure projects needs continuous consultations with affected people and a firm commitment of resources.

U.L.Tissa Prof. Amal S. Kumarage ABSTRACT Traffic management in main cities has become an absolute need due to the increase in the number of vehicles in the limited road space, at present. There are numerous limitations that restrict the widening of roads to cater to the demand of the ever-increasing vehicular load in an already congested city such as Colombo. The question is how are we going to differentiate between the benefit and the cost of development. It is very important to look for cost effective methods by minimizing the adverse effects on the economy in a developing country like Sri Lanka. The objective of this research was to check the suitability of a One-way traffic system in a selected area of the Colombo City. The most congested areas, which could be expanded later, depending on the results obtained, have been selected first. The study area was confined to Northern and Southern banks of Beira Lake in Colombo Fort area.
