Introduction Objectives Financing Method Implementation Benefits


Introduction Sri Lanka is an Island located south east part of Indian Sub - Continent consists of

Nine Provinces in which Western province is the most urbanized Province, Nine Provinces covers 25 districts in which Colombo district has considered as the

most urbanized district located in the Western Province, Colombo District consists of 13 Local Authorities covering 560 no.GN Divisions, GN Division is the smallest administrative unit in Sri Lanka, Recently the “Western Region Megapolis Master Plan 2030” was prepared for the

entire Western Province considering it as one urban development area and it included proposed Land Uses for three districts and handed over to Sri Lankan Government for implementation.

The Western Megapolis Plan is envisioned and conceptualized as Sri Lanka’s Grand Strategy to propel the country’s drive to achieve the status of a ‘high income developed nation’ by 2030,

This was a huge task which involve huge geo-data !!

Concept Plan – WRMMP - 2030

The entire province divided into 11 planning divisions and Development Guide Plans and guiding rules & regulations are being prepared for each division

This is a huge task and we were asked to create and update a sound database for the most urbanized area

Our Vision“Smart Geo-Data for Smart People” Our mission

Create & Introduce a Web Based Spatial Database Management System to promote, to implement and to facilitate professionals as well as general public to become a part and parcel of future Smart city.

Strategies Introduce usage of new technologies especially geo-spatial technologies Create Geo-Spatial Database Introduce Geo-spatial database System into real world application Facilitate Web enabling data updating & Monitoring Customize database Capacity Building



Physical Boundaries of the Geo-Database The project area consists of 450 GN Divisions which covered 11 Local

Authorities The approximate land area was 415 sq, km. and total amount of buildings

was more than 400,000 Since the project area is too big we thought to implement this in two

phases, 1st phase includes Colombo Metropolitan City Corporation Area (CMCCA) which

included 5 nos. local authorities 2nd phase includes emerging Urban Areas (EUA) which included 6 nos. local

authorities

Metro Colombo Development Area


Emerging Urban Area (EUA)6 nos. Local Authorities

Metro Colombo City Corporation Area5 nos. Local Authorities

Metro Colombo Urban Development Area consists of two main areas


Objectives of New Database

To introduce a new way of data collection, updating and monitoring Better Land Management Making data accessible to masses To use decision making purposes To create better relationship between Local Authorities and General

Public Enhance usage of Geo-Spatial data for their day to day business


Financing

This project was funded by Sri Lanka Government Budget


Implementation

Conventional data collection and updating method was used at the inception of the project,

There were three form for data collection, one for Land Use, second one for Roads and third one for Buildings

This process was a very cumbersome, time consuming and error producing process

Faced a lot of difficulties,

Introduce Web based system for data collection, updating and monitoring

General view on top of vector base maps

This web based system facilitate to add data in the field at real time and it updated the database automatically,

By doing this we expected to reduce corrections and time for entering data into the database. Earlier we collect data at the field and enter those into the database after come to the office.

We train our field survey assistants to use the web based system on iPad and smart phones.

Editor view to add a new building feature

If the owner has changed the usage of building we can easily identified those from system.

Search and view a on building layer based on attribute data


Updated Land Use & Building Database will Indicate the growth of the city Facilitate investors to take decisions on investments Provide information on infrastructure facilities Foresee future development trend and take prior action to avoid or

minimize problems Identify Urbanization Pattern and Trend. Make alternative solutions for urban problems. Help to make decision on optimum land utilization


Benefits Establish Fully pledged geo-spatial database It helps to professionals to carryout

Land use planning proposals Disaster risk reduction plan Land suitability analysis Tax parcel viewer Citizen service request Election results viewer Community planning Damage Assessment Infrastructure planning Valuation Purposes Flood mitigation planning Special Event Planning

Able to model the city To find out urban expansion trends To calculate future population and housing scenarios To take rational decision on development


Way forward

Still we are in the testing period of the system, we hope to carry out this method as an experimental basis since the lots of improvement has to be done in future

To apply this method to other Urban Local Authority Areas within the Western Province as well as other Provinces

Combine to NSDI program, through this it is hoped to connect other line government organizations and non governmental organizations who are involving in urban development activities and projects in Sri Lanka


Thank you
