| dc.description.abstract | Sri Lanka is a well-known country experiencing landslide disasters which are most com-
mon. Hence, awareness or education in landslide hazards and disasters must be well
established in the country. The importance of education is not only about book learning,
but also fieldwork to give students valuable real-world experience. This study focuses
on the Kahagalla landslide mitigated site, an exemplary landslide mitigation and man-
agement project. The purpose of this study is to provide valuable insights and lessons
learnt from the Kahagalla landslide mitigated site, which can be utilized for educational
purposes in the field of Geography, Geology, Civil Engineering, and Disaster Management.
This is a qualitative case study that used field observation as the primary data collection
method and relevant documents as the secondary data collection method. Data were
analyzed using the thematic analysis method. The case study analyzes the background of
the landslide, the measures taken for landslide mitigation, and the overall success of the
project in terms of landslide education. Results reveal that the Kahagalla landslide site
can give proper knowledge on landslide education. Further, the site is rich in different
landslide mitigation methods and is accessible. Thus, the recommendation is to use these
kinds of available sites in Sri Lanka for enhancing the practical knowledge of education. | en_US |
