It’s drawbacks cause numerous transport - related issues in a majority of cities around the world. Increasing traffic congestion is one of them. Traffic congession in major roads accounts for an annual loss of approximately 40 billion rupees in Sri Lanka. This system has significantly caused the unbalance of the built environment parameters and the choice of transportation modes, while disrupting the road infrastructure management owing to the growing demand of automobiles. Therefore, it is essential to study the coherence between built environment factors and the transport mode choices and understand their relationship with different mode choices regardless of other critical parameters of mode choice such as income, travel time differential, quality of service. The study was carried out in the Colombo Metropolitan Area. Secondary data was utilized to analyze the mode choice characteristics of the study area. Density, design, and diversity parameters were considered the built-form factors; and centrality measures were utilized to capture the road network parameters. Relationship analysis and Multi-Layer Perceptron analysis were utilized to identify the relationship between the built environment and the choice of mode in transportation. The result revealed that there is a relationship between built environment factors and the choice of mode at origin, destination, and route - wise. The findings of the study would be essential for transport and urban planners to develop more inclusive landuse plans and for better transport management.","PeriodicalId":439146,"journal":{"name":"Bhumi, The Planning Research Journal","volume":"65 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125870844","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
{"title":"Socioeconomic functions of private green spaces in a residential zone of Galle city, Sri Lanka","authors":"D. Jayasinghe, G. Hemakumara, P. Hewage","doi":"10.4038/bhumi.v8i1.77","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4038/bhumi.v8i1.77","url":null,"abstract":"Considering the current trends veered towards urbanization, it is forecast that by the end of the twentieth century, about 90% of the world’s population would have resorted to urbanized living. Owing to the growing trend in urbanization, vast changes are taking place in relation to the distribution of the human settlements, which cast a rapid deterioration of green coverage in the metropolitan areas. Green spaces perform a variety of functions and important to the urban environment in many ways. ‘Green space’ is a crucial player, when it comes to the contribution it makes by improving the quality of the city environment. Its’ contribution varies from improving of the quality of air, urban health, reducing urban heat island effect, lessening noise, conservation of biodiversity to bestowing significant socioeconomic advantages. Previous studies confirmed the important, beneficial role that the urban green spaces play in relation to the environment, society and economy. This paper evaluates the socio-economic functions of private green spaces in a primary residential zone of Galle City in Sri Lanka. Twelve variables were recognized for the purpose and the variables proposed were both qualitative and quantitative in nature. A survey with 280 residential units in the selected residential zone was carried out and the data was used in a multiple regression analysis. Models were developed to demonstrate the functions of private green spaces. Results revealed that only 13 percent of the private green spaces served for social functions. It was interesting to note that only a mere 5 percent of the private gardens served for economic functions. The role that the private gardens play in social functions was considerably higher than economic functions. Utilizing private garden spaces for recreational activities was substantially higher compared to the other social functions that they were used for. The findings emphasize that the private green spaces possess the ability to offer a variety of functions towards the positive contribution to the urban environment and its population, however it can be surmised that green spaces are not functioning in its’ full potential in the city of Galle in Sri Lanka.","PeriodicalId":439146,"journal":{"name":"Bhumi, The Planning Research Journal","volume":"135 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131332189","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
