Chapter Four Conclusions, Recommendation, Proposals & Strategies 4.0 Conclusions, Recommendations, Proposals and Strategies; Chapter Four Conclusions, recommendation, Proposals & Strategies 4.0 Conclusions, recommendations, proposals and strategies; 4.1 Conclusions and Recommendations; The previous chapters have been devoted to survey and analysis of recreation facilities, specially of parks and play grounds serving Kegalle City. The recommendations and proposals to be made will be discussed with the last section of this chapter, and they are based on the following summary of the study conclusions. eational facilities are disproportionately distributed.

The plans for any of these should follow the procedures applied by the zoning plan control institutions for recreation. The lands identified for recreation need to come under other urban projects implemented in the area. To allow both to be processed to be seen to have been competently proposed Authority has been competent to prepare the PORS plans & implemented accordingly to the Urban Development Authority act, 41 act of 1978 and by the amended by che act No.4 1982 although above acts have been processed urban Development Authority, the implementing stages were handed over to Local Government institutions. Due to the administration of local government under political leadership, difficulties may arise. Hence it is required to maintain PORS as a high priority and add it to the legal system, (eg. Like street lamps, changes done with modernization) By this process, public outdoor recreation space can be protected. Public awareness should be increased as to the importance of developing public outdoor recreation spaces. In order to gain the attention & support of the public obtain private sector support for addressing the public It is also required to assistantance is not enough to process outdoor recreation as government recreation spaces. lung in the City of Colombo is fully used for 'Viharamahadevi Park' the Green , school holiday seasons, during similar recreation activities in weekends, evenings December 31st' for the dawning filled with people on to 'Galle face green' which is outdoor spaces for in flats, always wish to use of the New Year.

Where possible active and passive outdoor recreation 55 associated with indoor recreation facilities, e.g. indoor sports centres, centres for leisure, art, music, drama and hobbies, community centres, libraries and other buildings providing such facilities. Natural and cultural amenities such as landscape view points special landscape features, landscape sites, e.g. beaches, water ways, water bodies, marsh land, hills, vegetation of significance, architectural, archaeological or histoircfal value, should be evaluated and integrated into the public outdoor recreation space system as far as possible. There should be a hierarchy of parks" emphasizing walking distance criteria as well as space requirement criteria to rationalize locations, sizes and service area of different orders/levels of parks and this concept should be combined with the 'nesting' concept in spatial planning. The sen/ice area of a higher order park should include the service areas of a number of lower order parks, all orders/levels being needed because of the different range of facilities they provide at varying distances from the users. This spatial concept is vital because it is the best way to ensure that all persons have suitable degrees of access to urban parks of the various levels/orders corresponding to their needs, keeping in mind that the shapes of service areas of parks need not be regular and can be modified according to the actual shapes of the parks themselves as long as the walking distance criterion is met. of linear parks and shaded foot Links between nodal parks, in the form Paths street side walks should be established, forming, as far as poss, e a p ^ open space net work. The relative importance of road and oo pa with larger services areas vary according to the type of park, e.g. larger Pa'ks ^ ^ routes and squiring vehicular access should be in locabons w ^ ^ ^ ^ ottKrs it bus stands. In some cases this factor wi roads and foot paths or the widening of existing will stimulate development of new ones. 56 PORS standards per 1000 population must be determined for area based on a national guideline, but sach urban allowing flexibility for modification according to locational differences in natural and social environment and for future growth of the town. 4.3 Proposals for future recreation needs; In Kegalle city 2.5he. of land, is allocated for PORS. This amount is quite low compared to the total population in the area. The land required by 2020 to serve increased population will be nearly 35.3he. figure 4.1 shows the PORS plans processed according to the standard method of 1.4he. (3.5acres) for 1000 population. It explains the PORS requirements allocated for existing population and estimated increased population by 2020. At the moment only 2.5he. of land exists. As Kegalle town is located in a valley, The PORS plan developed for Kegalle city with the help of UDA PORS methodology will, include mini parks, local parks community parks paddy fields and home gardens areas. All of them based on convenient walking distances. "Kurulu Kele" The forest located in Kegalle city will also be included in the PORS plans. Water bodies, conservation areas and road conservation areas are also included in a linear park. Therefore, the PORS methodology concepts and Principals used by UDA can be applied to Kegalle city as well. The parks proposed for PORS protect green coverage/colour in Kegalle rsity of Kegalle. (See appendix No.7,8) Plants which leads to protect the bio dive physical and mental well from all the foregoing PORS will help to enhance the nd contribute to a cleaner tang and it will also help to increase the bio diversity, a 9reener Kegalle city) 57 _1 5 Scale: 1:20000 Fig:4.1 Source : Landscape 58 4.4 Strategies for implem entation; It is proposed that land reservation for Parks should be immediate effect followed as early as gazetted with possible by compulsory acquisition of land and development as parks, including certain i income- earning facilities such as restaurants, sports clubs and advertisements within the parks or associated with them. "While it was intended to involve relevant public and private sector institutions with regard to establishing policies as well as funding and implementation, me need for an intensive public relations programme organized together wiim t! i... urban local authority and local political representatives in order to ensure full understanding and support for these proposals by the people, was recognized."1 The success of this PORS planning are the next twelve years will greatly depend on the people of kegalle being persuaded that it is in their best long term interests a permanent exhibition of the proposals in kegalle perhaps with a model nicer be a good mean of commucating with the public. 1 Basnayake Hester, Methodology for public outdoor rec 59 References : 01.

  • Technical Assistance Consultant's Report Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka: National Port Master Plan
    Technical Assistance Consultant’s Report Project Number: 50184-001 February 2020 Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka: National Port Master Plan (Financed by the Japan Fund for Poverty Reduction) The Colombo Port Development Plan – Volume 2 (Part 3) Prepared by Maritime & Transport Business Solutions B.V. (MTBS) Rotterdam, The Netherlands For Sri Lanka Ports Authority This consultant’s report does not necessarily reflect the views of ADB or the Government concerned, and ADB and the Government cannot be held liable for its contents. (For project preparatory technical assistance: All the views expressed herein may not be incorporated into the proposed project’s design. Figure 8-16 Warehouse Logistics Process Three main flows can be identified: • Incoming flow: products or goods discharged from a truck or unloaded from a container. • Warehousing cargo flow: storage of the palletised goods within the warehouse and – if applicable – registration/follow-up of additional value added activities like re-packing, labelling, price-marking, etc. • Outgoing flow: products or goods leaving the warehouse via truck or loaded into a container. The use of pallets is one of the basic and most fundamental requirements of modern warehousing activities and operations. All incoming cargo or products that are not yet palletised need to be stacked on (standardised) pallets during or directly after unloading a truck or un-stuffing a container. A dedicated follow-up of pallet stock management is of paramount importance to carry on the logistics activities. After palletising the goods, the content of each pallet needs to be inventoried and this data needs to flow into the warehouse management system.

  • Galle Face Green
    Galle Face Green Laid out in 1857 by the British governor Sir Henry Ward, Galle Face Green is a park separating the hectic life of Colombo and the Indian Ocean. The green is the city's largest open space and a popular spot during sunset, when hundreds of Sri Lankans come to fly kites, play cricket and eat ice cream. We walked along the green one evening, just as the sun was tucking itself behind the clouds over the ocean. One of the great things about Sri Lanka's being so close to the equator is that the sun rises and sets around the same time all year round. So regardless of when you're visiting Colombo, make sure to head to Galle Face Green at around 6:30pm. If you get lucky, you'll enjoy a spectacular sunset and marvel as the city turns a strange, deep shade of crimson. At the end of the green is the historic Galle Face Hotel, a beautiful lodging which retains much of its colonial charm. The hotel's best feature is its veranda, with chairs and tables facing out to sea. Unsurprisingly, it's one of the city's most popular spots for an evening drink. We sat down and, after sending the waiter to fetch a couple Three Coins lagers, felt as though we'd fallen back through time. So this is how the British lords of colonial Ceylon lived. Not bad. The breeze coming off the ocean was wonderful, the beers cold and delicious, the view unbeatable, the service spectacular, and the other patrons well-dressed and in pleasant moods.

  • Towards Place-Sensitive Urban Interventions: an Examination of the Significant Characteristics of Place in Selected Urban Nodes in Colombo
    /2>fr$L - i C\) - 93 Built-Environment-Sri Lanka; Volume 1, Issue 1; December 1998 Towards Place-Sensitive Urban Interventions: An Examination of the Significant Characteristics of Place in Selected Urban Nodes in Colombo Amanda Rajapakse and Ranjith Dayaratne "Place" is a concept that has received recent attention among architects, planners and urban designers. It is seen as a useful concept to examine and to be employed for planned interventions in the built-environment. Place is a spatial entity as well as a social-psychological entity. Its characteristics therefore are intertwined with these aspects. What are the .significant refinements of these characteristics that will elevate the quality of places and transform them to memorable cherished places? This was a research question that prompted an inquiry into the urban spaces whereby an attempt was made to recognize and emphasize the significant characteristics of place that will enable place-sensitive planned interventions in the city. The study based in Colombo examined in detail the characteristics of two selected places that mark them special and significant. The study proposes a theoretical construct of those characteristics that must be enhanced in planned interventions. Introduction A city or an urban millieu is unquestionably a place in which the 'To be human is to live in a world that is architects and the planners act. The urban filled with significant places: to be human is planners and architects are constantly to have and to know your place". grappling with such places and their Martin Heidegger (1960:19) interventions determine the way in which urban places are generated, sustained and Place is a rudimentary concept in experienced.

  • Military Migrants: British Service Personnel in Ceylon During the Second World War
    Britain and the World 6.1 (2013): 5–26 DOI: 10.3366/brw.2013.0075 # Edinburgh University Press www.euppublishing.com/brw Print ISSN: 2043-8567; online ISSN: 2043-8575 Military Migrants: British Service Personnel in Ceylon during the Second World War Ashley Jackson1 Migration caused by conflict is a neglected aspect of the history of the British Empire and the Second World War. Hundreds of thousands of military personnel moved around the Empire and had a significant impact upon the territories in which they were based. In addition, hundreds of thousands of civilians fled war zones, sometimes in an orderly fashion, sometimes in blind panic as the enemy closed in. There were also numerous forced migrations in colonial territories conquered by the Japanese. A unifying study of the range of migrations that took place within the Empire is long overdue. These migrations included civilians fleeing enemy invasion in the East, and military personnel escaping from Greece, Malaya, or Sumatra as the enemy approached or moving in troopships between the various theatres of global operations. Civilian evacuees crossed the Atlantic or left places such as Egypt and Singapore seeking safe haven in Australia and South Africa. Jewish refugees escaping Nazi-dominated Europe managed to reach Palestine, some of them subsequently interned for the duration in Mauritius. The civilian population of Gibraltar was removed from the Rock and accommodated in camps in Britain, Jamaica, Madeira and Morocco. Tens of thousands of American personnel flooded into imperial zones such as West Africa, India, Burma, Iran and Britain’s Caribbean and Pacific colonies.
