MSL - Opis:
- Changes in land use and land cover are a result of urban growth. Human activity has a vital role in city development since it helps to increase people's living standards, property values, accessibility, and safety. This study looked into the importance of legal procedures in accordance with the country's long-term development goals. It was also used to reveal the area's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and risks to the environment and people due to urban development. The study gathered data from both primary and secondary sources. The SWOT analysis was used to highlight the implications of urban growth in the research area. Maps analysis has been done using Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The statistical data on unauthorized filling was analyzed using Microsoft Excel. The findings show that, rather than being a source of strength and opportunity, urban expansion is also a source of weakness and risks. Threats to natural resources and humans, in particular, are disproportionately significant. Due to land demand, 62% of the land has been developed, jeopardizing the available marsh and paddy area. The growth of Kolonnawa urban council, which is located below mean sea level (MSL), causes flooding in the area every year. Based on a 50 year flood inundation, the grama niladari divisions of Wadulla, Orugodawatta, Meethotamulla, Gajabapura, Wijayapura, and Salamulla have been declared as high impacted locations.
