dc.description.abstract |
Dedicated Economic Centers are a platform that caters to all types of the needs
and wants of human resource. That is to say, it is not only the basic necessities of
men's food but also the various goods and services that are meant to serve the
benefits of the public. Dambulla Dedicated Economic Center is a site located at a
division of Dambulla Divisional Secretariat of Matale District of the Central
Province of Sri Lanka. Not only the food stuffs which are locally produced brought
to this Dedicated Economic Center, but a wide variety of goods are also imported
from other countries too. There is a shortage of food here as the imported food
items are wasted due to various factors. No studies have been conducted in the
specific study area (Dambulla Dedicated Economic Centre) in this regard.
Therefore, this study was conducted to fill the gap. The first and second status of
data were used to carry out this study with the main objective of identifying the
causes of wastage of imported food items at the Dambulla Dedicated Economic
Center and to identify the wasted food items and to present effective suggestions
for saving food items without wastage used as supportive objectives of this study.
Questionnaire, Interview and Direct Observation methods were used as the first
status of data and Dambulla Divisional Secretariat Reports, Websites and Articles
were used as the second status of data. At the end of the study, the causes of
wastage of imported food items were identified and suggestions were put forward
to prevent it from being wasted into the study area. Therefore, there is a need for
time to study the economic status of such people in relation to the Dedicated
Economic Centers. |
