Ornamenting Fingernails and Roads: Beautification and the Embodiment of Authenticity in Post-War Eastern Sri Lanka Abstract In post-conflict Sri Lanka, communal tensions continue ot be negotiated, contested, and remade. Color codes virtually every aspect of daily life in salient local idioms. Scholars rarely focus on the lived visual semiotics of local, everyday exchanges from how women ornament their nails to how communities beautify their open—and sometimes contested—spaces. I draw on my ethnographic data from Eastern Sri Lanka and explore ‘color’ as negotiated through personal and public ornaments and notions of beauty with a material culture focus. I argue for a broad view of ‘public,’ which includes often marginalized and feminized public modalities. This view also explores how beauty and ornament are salient technologies of community and cultural authenticity that build on histories of ethnic imaginaries.

  • A Case Study of Kalmunai Municipal Area in Ampara District
    Available online at www.worldscientificnews.com WSN 59 (2016) 35-51 EISSN 2392-2192 Emerging challenges of urbanization: a case study of Kalmunai municipal area in Ampara district M. B. Muneera* and M. I. M. Kaleel** Department of Geography, Faculty of Arts and Culture South Eastern University of Sri Lanka, Sri Lanka *,**E-mail address: [email protected] , [email protected] ABSTRACT Urban population refers to people living in urban areas as defined by national statistical offices. It is calculated using World Bank population estimates and urban ratios from the United Nations World Urbanization Prospects. Aggregation of urban and rural population may not add up to total population because of different country coverages. The study based on the Kalmunai MC area and the main objective of this study is to identify the emerging challenges of urbanization in the study area. The study used the methodologies are primary data collection as questionnaire, interview, observation and the secondary data collection and SWOT analysis to made for getting the better result. The study finds that the SWOT analysis process provided a number of results and ideas for future planning. Collecting the results around themes has highlighted the breadth of ideas within KMC. A number of common issues emerged which require immediate action and clearly relate to developing KMC as a resilient urban. However, to generate energy requires heap quantities of plastic wastage and as a result of the process a byproduct of methane will be produced. Nevertheless, this process is not much financially viable as the quantities are limited in Sri Lanka. Control of water pollution is the demand of the day cooperation of the common man, social organizations, natural government and non - governmental organizations; is required for controlling water pollution through different curative measures.

  • SRI LANKA DISPLACED POPULATION by DISTRICT GIS Unit Sri Lanka
    THE INTERNALLY DISPLACED IN SRI LANKA DISCUSSION PAPER ON EQUITY 1 December 2005 Participating agencies: CARE International, Christian Aid, Jaffna Social Action Centre, Oxfam, Norwegian Refugee Council, Zoa Refugee CARE, UNDP, OCHA, UNHCR. 1 INTRODUCTION On 26 December 2005, a tsunami struck the Northern, Eastern, and Southern coasts of Sri Lanka. The level of death and destruction was unprecedented: more than 31,200 persons perished, 23,100 were injured, over half a million people were displaced and over 4,000 were reported as missing.1 For Sri Lanka, the timing of this disaster was particularly unfortunate, as the country is still bearing the consequences of years of civil conflict, including mass displacement. The conflict, which has lasted more than two decades, has resulted in more than 60,000 dead, 11,000 unaccounted for2 and – at the height of hostilities – more than 1 million displaced. Since the signing of the ceasefire agreement, more than 50 % of the internally displaced had returned home and were, at the time of the tsunami, in the process of re-establishing their livelihoods and rebuilding their lives. Some had returned to their villages by the coast and were therefore displaced – yet again – by the tsunami. In December 2005, on the day the tsunami struck, 352,000 were already displaced by the conflict. Of the displaced, 72,800 were living in welfare centers, with the majority hosted in the district of Puttalam. The rest were living with families and friends, still unable, or unwilling, to return to their original homes. The combined displacement caused by the conflict and the tsunami resulted in a total of more than 900,000 displaced persons in a country with about 18 million inhabitants.

The suffering and destruction that was left in the tsunami’s wake have prompted an unprecedented global response. Determined and resilient local communities, with help from national and international organizations and governments, have mobilized relief and started recovery. Now, as attention turns to reconstruction, the focus has changed to look at the underlying issues and plan for sustainable re- development. UNEP’s mission in this context is clear: to provide and coordinate environmental expertise that can rapidly assess the extent of damage to ecosystems and environmental infrastructure; to identify, and bring to the international community’s immediate attention, urgent environmental risks; and to ensure that the environment is fully integrated into the region’s reconstruction and development agenda. In a part of the world where tourism, fisheries and agriculture form the economic base, the protection of ecosystems and the sound management of natural resources are crucial to the region’s development.

    Facts on the Seashore: Conflict, Population Displacement, and Coastal Vulnerability on the Eve of the Sri Lankan Tsunami Randall Kuhn Josef Korbel School of International Studies University of Denver Abstract The concept of a complex emergency implies a negative interaction between manmade and natural disaster, yet few studies have quantified the magnitude or nature of such interactions. This study studies the impact of population movements during the Sri Lanka civil war on the Boxing Day Tsunami. In contrast to Northern Sri Lanka, which saw wholesale ethnic cleansing, eastern Sri Lanka experienced a gradual and selective process of political and economic exclusion, resulting in the net migration of socioeconomically disadvantaged minority populations towards previously unsettled coastal areas. I quantify these effects, finding that a large majority of homes destroyed in the tsunami did not exist prior to the civil war. Coastal population growth rates were substantially higher than those found in comparable interior areas, as were aggregate rates of socioeconomic vulnerability. Specific instances of displacements and encroachment illustrate how conflict creates incentives for population exposure to environmental risk. The study leverages a unique combination of community surveys, Geographic Information System (GIS) data, public records, official damage reports, ground truth estimates of tsunami impact, and archival evidence of historic population movements. The results are based on the attached paper “Conflict, Coastal Vulnerability, and Resiliency in Tsunami-Affected Communities of Sri Lanka”, in Tsunami Recovery in Sri Lanka: Ethnic and Regional Dimensions, M. Gamburd, D. McGilvray, eds., Taylor and Francis, November 2009. In particular, this paper will expand upon the section entitled “Results of the Community Study: Facts on the Ground” using new community displacement histories and GIS mapping collected in January 2009.
