Wijeyaratne It is my privilege and pleasure to pen this message of felicitation for the flagship event in our annual calendar – the Annual Research Symposium. Teaching, research and scholarship are the fundamental constituents that reveal the quality and relevance of any seat of higher learning. The Annual Research Symposium of our university provides an ideal opportunity to highlight the research capability and potential of our own academic staff and students. This year’s symposium portrays these attributes with a greater magnitude in scope and outlook, by being conducted as the culmination of the two key events of the Asian Universities Alliance (AUA). The University of Colombo is the only Sri Lankan university among the fifteen-member consortium that comprises this esteemed alliance. Our university has the added privilege of holding the Executive Presidency in 2019, which brings with it the responsibility of hosting the Executives’ Meeting and the Youth Forum of the Alliance. Our symposium this year is centred around the chosen theme “Health and Well-Being” that serendipitously provides the perfect platform to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the birth of this institution in the form of the Ceylon Medical College. Therefore, the symposium and the AUA events that are occurring simultaneously give us an opportunity to truly celebrate our university and its potential. Almost all the events are scheduled to take place within the university precincts, with College House – a symbol of our cultural heritage – as the focal point. Our events are strengthened by the support and collaboration of the Ministry of Higher Education and the World Health Organisation. This indeed has raised the bar of our academic profile with a clear validation of the relevance of our outputs from a national context. We are honoured by the presence and participation of the Presidents and key decision makers of the best universities in Asia, who are our partners in the AUA. 1 Their contributions have added value to our programmes. It is my fervent wish that the initiatives taken at these fora will not be confined to fostering closer ties between our institutions, but will also lead to effective networking and more productive collaborations that would benefit the wider society in which we live and serve. I also take this opportunity to felicitate the organizing team of academics, researchers, administrators and students, so ably led by Chairperson Prof Naazima Kamardeen and by the administrative lead for research and development Ms Tharushika Pathiranage, and the multitude of administrators and support staff alike. I thank our sponsors and well-wishers, chief among them our alumni. My very best wishes for fruitful deliberations go out to all of you. 2 MESSAGE FROM THE SYMPOSIUM CHAIR ANNUAL RESEARCH SYMPOSIUM 2019 Professor Naazima Kamardeen It is with great pleasure that I pen these words on the occasion of the Annual Research Symposium of the University of Colombo for 2019. This annual event showcasing the research capabilities of our staff has taken a new dimension this year, as it coincides with the Executives Meeting and Youth Forum of the Asian Universities Alliance, which our University is proud to host. In keeping with the timely theme “Health and Well-Being” which connects meaningfully with the 150th anniversary of our university’s oldest institution, the Faculty of Medicine, our annual research symposium this year promises a stimulating array of events that highlight the role of the University of Colombo as the premier research institution in Sri

  • (A CASE STUDY from KESBEWA URBAN COUNCIL- COLOMBO DISTRICT– SRI LANKA) B.A.R Vidushani1 ; E.N.C
    EFFECTS OF URBAN DEVELOPMENT ON FLOODS (A CASE STUDY FROM KESBEWA URBAN COUNCIL- COLOMBO DISTRICT– SRI LANKA) B.A.R VidushanI1 ; E.N.C. Perera 2 1 Post graduate student at University of Peradeniye, Faculty of Agriculture, Kandy, Sri Lanka Email: [email protected] 2Sanasa Campus ltd.; Paragammana, Hettimulla, Kegalle, Sri Lanka Email: [email protected] KEY WORDS: urbanization, urban vegetation cover, urban flood frequency, runoff coefficient, impermeable surfaces ABSTRACT: Over the past decades, the Sri Lanka has become an increasingly urban society. These changes are significantly observed from the rapid conversion of rural area to peri –urban or urban areas. The changes in land use associated with urban development affect flooding in many ways. The increase in artificial surfaces due to urbanization causes an increase in flooding and flash flooding frequency due to poor infiltration and reduction of flow resistance.Kesbewa Located at 20 km from Colombo, Kesbewa Urban Council (KUC) with its 152,657 inhabitants is rapidly being developed and urbanized. Historically, Kesbewahas been an agricultural area endowed with the excess water resources of the bordering Bolgoda lake. A relatively large area of paddy lands can still be found in its lower-lying zones. However, as a result of the continuous growth of Colombo and expansion of the urban boundaries of Colombo Metropolitan Region, Kesbewa Urban Council became an attractive residential area for commuters, now hosting over 244,000 inhabitants (2012 census) on 49 km2 of land. Many of the agricultural areas were gradually converted to non-agricultural areas, resulting in about 60% of the land now being used for residential purposes and related amenities.

  • CHAPTER 9 Urban Transport System Development Program (1) for Promotion of Public Transport Use 9.1 Monorail Systems
    Urban Transport System Development Project for Colombo Metropolitan Region and Suburbs Technical Report 6: Urban Transport Master Plan CHAPTER 9 Urban Transport System Development Program (1) for Promotion of Public Transport Use The urban transport system development program (1) consists of the projects for the urban transport policy 1: Promotion of Public Transport Use. 9.1 Monorail Systems Based on the corridor analysis, the Malabe corridor has 60,000 vehicles entering the city and this is the highest compared to the other six corridors. Besides, the Malabe corridor, Low level road corridor and Horana corridor are the only major corridors without rail-based public transport. Fort-Malabe corridor has been identified as the corridor which requires a rail-based transport system urgently. To make the most use of a monorail system on the Malabe corridor, which serves east-west direction travel in the metropolitan area, a north south monorail line should be added to serve other major destinations in the city. 9.1.1 Multi-Modal Transport Hub and Multi-Modal Centre Each mode of public transport should be interconnected to function as a network. Public transport modes, including railways, inter-provincial buses, intra-province buses and new transit modes such as bus rapid transit (BRT) and monorail should be integrated. Railway, Monorail, and BRT as well as inter-provincial and city buses come to Fort station and Pettah terminal. However the present station and three bus terminals are located separately and this is not convenient for passengers. Interchange facilities should be integrated and located at one place. The Multimodal Transport Hub shall function as an interchange facility for railway passengers, monorail passengers, and BRT passengers as well as ordinary bus passengers.
