Abstract:
Global Environmental destruction is a severe contemporary issue around the
globe. Specially destruction of natural biosystems as a result of increasing
global warming can be seen. It crisis the breakdown of biodiversity and the
sustainability among the aspects of natural human activities has direct
involvement in this, And Sri Lanka is also facing this situation According to
the UNESCO reports, 1.4% of the total forest coverage is destructed annually.
The main focus of this study was to analyse the Social, Economic, Cultural,
Human aspects which have affected the Badagamuwa conservation forest,
located in Kurunegala district. Therefore it was important to identify the zones
of the forest reserve which have been harmed MS Excel software was used to
analyse the qualitative data and ARC GIS[10.4] was used to analyse the spatial
data to observe the above problem, from 1999 to 2019 ,through GPS, Google
earth pro-technology and the data collected by Kurunegala municipal council
and Badagamuwa information Center other than that secondary data have been
collected by field observations, interviews and Questionnaires, accordingly,
Human activities that have affected the destruction of the Environmental
system and the primary data on the destruction could be identified. Here the
economic activities and development proposals were identified to be basic
reasons for forest destruction. Through them, the natural phenomenon of the
bio system is affected and the high consumption of resources has influenced
the destruction of physical factors. As a result, the existence of flora and fauna
has been affected negatively. This study suggests that a sustainable urban
environment management policy should be introduced and activated to protect
the environment.
