dc.description.abstract |
Over 2500 quarry sites are currently in operation to cater the large requirement of rock
aggregates in Sri Lanka. The concerns of this industry are not limited to the environmental
and social aspects but significantly influence its own functionality. Even though such
instances are common and under regular discussions, documented evidence and efforts to
methodically resolve them finds to be limited. Hence, only the adverse effects of the
quarrying industry are mostly highlighted, sidelining the opportunities for sustainable
development. This research attempts to systematically document the issues in the
quarrying industry in Sri Lanka to address them based on three categories; Technical,
Socio-environmental and Procedural. As an initial exercise the collected survey data was
categorized on district basis, quarry grade, respondent’s skill level and the nature of the
interviews conducted. Through cross analysis of these data clusters the most common
concerns were extracted to prioritize according to the level of significance. Afterwards,
statistical significance of the relationships among the issues so far identified was computed
mainly using Chi-squared-test and Binary Logistic Regression. Findings of this pilot study
can be used for future policy development, even though they are dominantly represented
by the Colombo, Kalutara and Gampaha districts. |
