Natural resources in North and Eastern
provinces of Sri Lanka were severely affected due to the
civil war. This was more significant along the coastal
zone from Mannar to Batticaloa. It has been
establishing more economic development activities in
Northern and Eastern provinces after the war. Arial
photography, Geographical Information Systems (GIS)
data and satellite images have proven their importance
as additional tools in identifying prospective areas for
natural resources and also for locating suitable sites for
establishing new development activities. In this study
integrated approach of remote sensing techniques,
Arial photo interpretation and GIS techniques were
applied to produce reliable information for
identification of most suitable locations for the
development activities in the Northern and Eastern
coastal zones of Sri Lanka. |
