Abstract:
Agriculture is primarily linked to the rural sector. Accordingly, an
agricultural society can be found in the rural sector. Dompe Division can
be identified as a rural peripheral area. The land is important as an asset
in an agrarian country like Sri Lanka. With the increasing population,
the problem of not using land properly is a problem when food
production is a challenge. It can be identified as an obstacle to
development. Unemployment in Sri Lanka is not only a matter of food
supply but also of the importance of utilizing agricultural land more
effectively in import and payment issues. Interviews and questionnaires
were used as primary data for the study, while the secondary data was
obtaining from articles, papers, journals, etc. Form several institutions
that were involved in the study. Three villages in the Dompe area were
selected on a judicial scale under the non-random sampling method as
the study sample. A total of 45 units were selected as the study sample
from 15 farmer families in three villages at 12%. The main reason for
this is the lack of knowledge of the farmers on their land development.
Another major factor is the lack of coordination between official and
landlords. Farmers should be provided with the necessary advice and
knowledge to develop their home garden in accordance with a proper
land-use plan. Improvement of land resources development, micro
utilization and sustainability for a better future through measures of
attitudinal change.
