dc.description.abstract |
The quarries which are abandoned ceasing operations without a proper closure plan cause
negative impacts on the environment and also risk for the health and safety of society and
the economy. This research focused on the environmental aspects that are affected by
abandoned quarries and a sustainable methodology to design future land use. The objective
of this research is to introduce a quarry rehabilitation method that is effective and has a
positive impact on the environment, and applicable for abandoned quarries in Sri Lanka. In
this respect, the district of Colombo has been chosen due to its importance in social and
economic aspects. The research was conducted by identifying abandoned quarries through
remote sensing and geographic information system technique (RS & GIS) analysis of satellite
images of the concerned area. Prioritised two quarries among identified quarries for further
analysis and suggested possible rehabilitation options. According to the land use analysis
around the two quarries, the better rehabilitation option is to transform the lands into a
vegetation area. |
